Yes, each GSoC Contributor may submit up to three proposals. However, only oneper GSoC Contributor may be accepted. No more than one proposal per GSoCContributor will be accepted, no matter how many proposals you submit.
You are strongly encouraged to reach out to the mentoring organization earlyto discuss your ideas and get feedback and a better understanding of the workthey do before submitting your final proposal.
The best proposals are from participants who took the time to interact anddiscuss their ideas with the organization before submission. Be sure toinclude the following: detail on exactly what you're proposing, why you'reproposing it, the reason you're qualified to do it, your developmentmethodology, your expected timeline, etc. It should also include details of youracademic, industry, and/or open source development experience.
Do not just read a Project Idea from the org's list and then write yourproposal - you need to talk to them. Contributors who don't discuss theirproposals with the target organization are very unlikely to be selected forGSoC.
Organizations have scoped projects based on total expected time to complete aproject. Small size projects should take about 90 hours, medium sizeprojects about 175 hours to complete, and large projects about 350 hours tocomplete. Depending on your skillsand the difficulty of your project it may take you more or less time to meet thegoals of your project. If it becomes that your project was underscoped oroverscoped you and your mentor will work together to adjust accordingly.

Google can not provide you with any kind ofCPT or OPT authorization. It is your responsibility to determine if your visaallows you to participate in a program like GSoC, please check before applying.You should also be sure that you can accept the stipend so you are not surprisedlater if you can not (often due to visa concerns). Unfortunately every year somestudents can not accept their stipends because their visas don't allow them todo a program like GSoC or in some cases they don't allow the person to spendmore than 20 hours a week on GSoC.
The GSoC 2024 program has some flexibility in the schedule for projects. Thelength of time allowed to complete a project can range from 10 weeks to 22weeks for medium and large projects with the standard length of 12 weeks. Smallprojects can range from 8 to 12 weeks. GSoC Contributors and their mentors candecide together if a project should be extended to end a couple of weeks or solater.
The first evaluation date is based at the halfway point of your expected projecttimeline. For medium and large projects it will be after 6 weeks for projects inthe standard 12 week schedule). For small projects it will be after 4 weeksbased on the standard 8 week project.

About the Associate Degree in Nursing Program
The Associate of Science Degree in Nursing is designed to prepare an individual for a career as a registered nurse. The program's mission is to prepare competent, compassionate, and culturally sensitive entry-level nursing graduates whose professional practice encompasses legal and ethical decision-making in the promotion of health in the community.
The student who meets all educational and institutional requirements for an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing from Broward College is eligible to have their name submitted to the Florida Board of Nursing to be considered as a candidate for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). The Florida Board of Nursing is the state agency authorized to determine if the applicant qualifies to take the NCLEX-RN for licensure as a registered nurse. For licensure requirements, refer to sections 464.008 and 464.009, Florida Statutes (F.S.), Rules 64B9-3.002 and 3.008, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.).
The Nursing Program offers three options for the Associate of Science Degree in Nursing: Two full-time program options; the Generic Program, and the LPN-RN Transition Program. We offer a Part-Time Generic option for those who must work Monday - Friday.
Hands-on training occurs in the skills lab prior to clinical hospital experiences. The use of high and low-fidelity mannequins is utilized in the skill training and theory content complements the clinical application of skills.
The Broward College Nursing Program graduates approximately 250 to 300 students annually. The completion rate of 58% of students finishes the program within 150% of the expected length of the program.
Job Outlook
Job prospects for registered nurses are projected to increase by 26 percent from 2010 to 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Growth will occur primarily because of technological advancements; an increased emphasis on preventative care; and the large, aging baby-boomer population who will demand more healthcare services as they live longer and more active lives. The estimated median annual wage for Registered Nurses is $70,490 (source: Florida Labor Market Statistics).
