Possibility of a later start date

[Steven]

Im really interested in the possibility of contributing to a project. However, Im preoccupied until June 12. The coding start date on the website is mentioned as May 27th, is it possible to start later? Would this have to be a discussion had with individual organizations/projects?

Hello,

Im really interested in the possibility of contributing to a project. However, Im preoccupied until June 12. The coding start date on the website is mentioned as May 27th, is it possible to start later? Would this have to be a discussion had with individual organizations/projects? 

Yes, this is something to talk with the organization about when you are applying to GSoC. Many orgs would be fine accomodating a 2 week later coding start date as long as it has been discussed with them beforehand.
