[Mifos-developer] Mifos Initiative has been Accepted into the 2017 Google Summer of Code!

[Ed Cable]

I'm pleased to announced the Mifos Initiative has been selected as a mentoring organization for the 2017 Google Summer of Code. We're honored and excited to be participating in GSOC for our sixth year.

Our team of mentors is excited to be working with the next generation of open source contributors on the list of project ideas that we're finalizing at https://mifosforge.jira.com/wiki/spaces/RES/pages/182896718/Google+Summer+of+Code+2017+Ideas#GoogleSummerofCode2017Ideas

We will be discussing this ideas list at an our developer meeting happening this Thursday at 1300GMT via GoToTraining. Register to join at https://attendee.gototraining.com/rt/3908751023631857922

Projects will primarily be focused on apps built on top of Apache Fineract but some projects will have direct contribution to the Apache Fineract platform as well. 

All prospective students should send an email to both the Apache Fineract developer and Mifos developer mailing lists. Please include your name, your year of school, your skills, and the project(s) you're interested in.

What's critical to a successful application is being an active part of our community and making multiple pull requests during the application period as we want to understand your ability to communicate, collaborate and contribute in an open source community as well as demonstrate your ability to make meaningful contributions according to our processes and guidelines via GitHub.
