The deadline for interested Google Summer of Code contributors to register for GSoC 2024 and submit project proposals is fast approaching! Visit g.co/gsoc for more information on registration and to explore the 195 mentoring organizations and submit your project proposals. 

The most successful applications come from contributors who start early and do not wait until the last minute to apply. Applications close on Tuesday, April 2nd at 18:00 UTC. At this point you should be finishing up your proposals and getting ready to submit them.

Best practice: Submit your proposal at least 24 hours before the deadline.

Please keep a few helpful tips in mind:

  • Be sure to register now and make sure that you have an account setup so you can then submit a proposal. Contributors will need to register on the GSoC site before applying to projects and submitting their proposals.

  • Read the program rules, FAQ, contributor guide, and advice for applying.

  • Review the list of 195 mentoring organizations and use filters to sort by programming language (python, C++, etc.) and by category (data, development tools, infrastructure and cloud, security, etc.).

    • Remember, the deadline is only a few days away so organizations and mentors may be slow to respond tand may not be able to respond at this point to any questions you have as they are likely already busy communicating with many other potential contributors.

  • Tip for GSoC site - When registering as a contributor for the first time you will need to scroll down on the GSoC homepage and click on the ‘register as a contributor’ button before you will be able to log in through the ‘log in’ button in the upper right corner of the page.  

Interested contributors may register and submit project proposals on the GSoC site from now until Tuesday, April 2nd at 18:00 UTC when the application window closes. Do not wait until the last minute to submit your proposal, there are no deadline extensions.

Talking to the orgs is very important if you want to be selected for the GSoC program.

Best,

GSoC Program Admins
