Can I partisipate in GSOC if I live in Restricted Countries?

[Maxim Koval]

I live in Ukraine now. But Ukraine is restricted country in the USA.

Also I found uqote from GSOC 2015 help page(in GSOC 2016 rules written not very clear):

Google employees, interns, contractors,  or family members thereof; or residents and/or nationals of Crimea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, Sudan, and North Korea, with whom we are prohibited by U.S. law from engaging in commerce, are ineligible to participate. Please also note that any residents of Argentina, Belarus, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Myanmar (Burma), Peru, Russia, and Ukraine that participate in the program will not receive a t-shirt or any promotional items for their participation.
Mentoring organizations that are taking part in Google Summer of Code may add additional stipulations regarding which students may participate in the program under their auspices.

This means I can take a part of GSOC but not get a t-shirt and other stuff?

Hello,

The GSoC 2016 Rules list the Restricted Countries at the very top in the "Definitions" section.

https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/rules

"Restricted Countries" means Argentina, Belarus, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Myanmar (Burma), Peru, Russia, and Ukraine.

That is correct you can participate if you live in the Ukraine you just won't receive a tshirt or the notebook and pen that are sent out.

best,

Stephanie
