+

Applying to GSoC

-
    -
  • What interests you most about our project?
    • -
  • What is your background, and what made you pick the specific idea?
    • -
  • What is your familiarity with the recommended technologies?
    • -
  • As mentors and project coordinators, how can we get the best out of you?
    • -
  • Is there anything that you’ll be studying or working on whilst working alongside us?
    • -
+

+ After reviewing the project ideas and getting started guidance, reach out + in Slack. Contact the project mentor(s) if you have questions about a + specific project idea. -

 

+ If multiple mentors are listed, create a thread with all mentors. This + helps us give more efficient and consistent feedback. -

Writing a good proposal

+ Becoming part of the community before submitting a proposal is important. + Proposals submitted at the last minute, without prior engagement with the + project or mentors, are much less likely to be competitive. - Next, write and submit your GSoC proposal after discussing this with the mentor. In the proposal make sure to - include a well-defined, weekly schedule with clear milestones and deliverables around it. Make sure to include - in your schedule any time you need to learn new technologies, as well as make sure that before the - evaluations dates, you have a deliverable that we can use to evaluate. We understand that schedules change, but it - would be good to add some must haves to your list of deliverables that will make your project a success as well - as some extra goals in case you have additional time at the end. + Once you have gotten acquainted with the project and discussed your + interests with potential mentors, you can begin drafting your proposal. + A strong proposal should include a realistic timeline, clear milestones, + and concrete deliverables. +
