Student Application Template

This is a suggestion for the kind of information we'll find useful from students. Remember - you're going to be committing to several months' work. The more information and planning you can provide up-front, the more we (and Google!) will have to go on when we're ranking your application.

  • Name
  • Email: where can we contact you? (IRC/IM details too, if available)
  • Background: something about yourself: technical skills, experience, etc. Who are you? What makes you the best person to work on this project?
  • Project title
  • Synopsis: a short description.
  • Benefits to Debian
  • Deliverables: quantifiable results e.g. 'Port Debian to VAX', 'Write 3 articles for X website'.
  • Project details: a more detailed description.
  • Project schedule: how long will the project take? When can you begin work?
  • Other summer plans: are you getting married? Do you have a long vacation planned? Are you expecting to start a job?
  • Exams and other commitments: do you have university exams inside the SoC period? If so, that's most likely not a problem but please tell us early!

Be aware that if you are accepted for the summer, then Google will be paying you as though you were working for them. We (in Debian) will therefore expect you to be working 35-40 hours per week on your project. It is very unlikely that you will be able to combine a successful SoC with another summer job job working for somebody else.
