Hi,
the Linux Foundation will apply again as mentoring organization in this
year's Google Summer of Code.
Note that GSoC 2024 allows now 3 project sizes, large (350h) and medium
(175h) as before, but now also small (90h) in addition.
All the rest is as last year, especially allowance of open source
newcomers and not only students and flexibility with the end of the
coding period.
On January 22, 2024 (tomorrow) the application period for mentoring
organizations for the Google Summer of Code 2024 will start.
To be successful, we need a rich project idea list so that we will get
selected by Google.
I have set up a page for project ideas for the Linux Foundation's
participation in the Google Summer of Code 2024:
https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/gsoc/google-summer-code-2024
Please add your ideas to the sub-page of your work group. Also remove
project ideas which are already done in one of the previous years or not
needed any more and make sure that all contact info is up-to-date and
all links are working.
Make sure to not talk about "students", but about "contributors"
instead. I have, at least partially, taken care of this when I have
copied your sub-group pages from last year.
Also make sure to remove the "**To be updated**" phrase after having
updated your project ideas.
If you have problems mail me with your project ideas and other editing
wishes.
The ideas list is in the Linux Foundation Wiki. If you want to edit and
did not have the edit rights already from previous years, please tell me
and I give you edit rights. I need your name and e-mail address for
that. If you have an account at the Linux Foundation, use preferably
that e-mail address, but having an account at the Linux Foundation is
not required.
Please also take into account that the deadline for our application as
mentoring organization is Feb 6 and after that Google will evaluate the
applications. So have your ideas (at least most of them, ideas can be
posted up to the contributor application deadline) in by then to raise
our chances to get accepted.
Please also tell us if you do not want to participate any more with your
workgroup, so that we can remove your sub-page.
Till
