Eligibility of students who are not beginners to open-source

[bo...@sip-communicator.org]

Hello,

We've received some good proposals from contributors who are students, but are clearly not beginners to open-source (by their own proposals, they have been contributing to open-source projects for "many years"). According to this FAQ[0] they are eligible for the program, but another post here mentions that proof of enrollment is no longer necessary. I wanted to confirm what the intention is.


Thanks,
Boris

Hi Boris,

 

We've received some good proposals from contributors who are students, but are clearly not beginners to open-source (by their own proposals, they have been contributing to open-source projects for "many years"). According to this FAQ[0] they are eligible for the program, but another post here mentions that proof of enrollment is no longer necessary. I wanted to confirm what the intention is.

If they are a student they are eligible for GSoC 2024.
