When can I apply for Google Summer of Code?
We'll begin accepting proposals from open source mentoring organizations on 3 February, 2014 at 19:00 UTC; we'll stop accepting organization proposals on 14 February, 2014 at 19:00 UTC. The student proposal period begins 10 March, 2014 at 19:00 UTC and ends 21 March, 2014 at 19:00 UTC. For full details, see the program timeline.
How does the program work?
Here are the steps:
- Open source projects who'd like to participate in GSoC 2014 should choose at least two organization administrators to represent them.
- ORG administrators will submit the mentoring ORG’s proposal for participation online.
- Google will notify the ORG administrators of acceptance, and an account for the accepted ORG will be created on the GSoC 2014 site.
- Students submit project proposals online to work with particular mentoring ORGs.
- Mentoring ORGs rank student proposals and perform any other due diligence on their potential students; student proposals are matched with a mentor.
- Google allocates a particular number of student slots to each organization.
- Mentoring ORGs make their final decision on which students to accept into the program.
- Students are notified of acceptance.
- Students begin learning more about their mentoring ORG and its community before coding work starts.
- Students begin coding work at the official start of the program, provided they've interacted well with their community up until the program start date.
- Mentors and students provide mid-term progress evaluations.
- Mentors provide a final evaluation of student progress at close of program; students submit a final review of their mentor and the program.
- Students upload completed code to GSoC site.
