Technical Skills Required for GSoC

[AMiT Kumar]

What are the basic technical skills required for participating in GSoC, program.

is  C/C++ enough for getting a project?

The required skills depend on the project you're going to be working on - and the programming language(s) the organisation uses, of course.

The student guide has some more information:

just my 5c, besides technical skills these are VERY important: Commitment & Motivation.

We have the experience to rejecting students who were not really motivated, even they had strong skills. If you are motivated, your GSoC will be awesome.

There are no requirements for the GSoC apart from being a student. The requirements for working on a project varies depending on the project itself. You can take a look to past years projects and take a look to their requirements [1], also you can take a look when the GSoC'14 projects come up.
