Hi All,
Web and Coding Club is organizing an introductory talk on How to get into Google Summer of Code 2k14.
Rather than being just a talk we will try to demonstrate on how to go about choosing an organization and interacting with the community.
GSoC
is a program in which you get to work on a
project for another existing open-source project.You might get a chance
to work on improving some part of Mozilla Firefox or even your favorite
python libraries! GSoC is organised and sponsored by Google.Students
from all over the world can apply for contributing in open
source projects in GSOC. Students in turn get cash reward of 5000 USD ,
a participating certificate from Google and an awesome tshirt.
Since
many students apply worldwide, almost from 100 countries, its not that
easy to get through into GSOC. Lets hear some ideas and insider details
from Aman Mangal. He participated in GSoC last year!
This talk will be very beneficial to all those who are planning to
apply for GSOC-2k14 as well as all those who are planning to apply in
upcoming years. Also even if you're not particularly interested in GSoC but rather wish to contribute to open source. This session might help you with a start.
