#format wiki #language en <> == General information == This wiki page will be the central point for information about the [[https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/|Google Summer of Code 2020]] at Debian. Google Summer of Code is a program where Google pays students stipends to work over the summer on free software projects such as Debian. Each student works with one or more mentors from the community to complete a software project. Debian has been selected as a mentoring organization for 2020! We want to make the experience even more exciting and fulfilling this year for the students, the mentors and the whole Debian community this year, so please join us! You can find information about the previous years on SummerOfCode2006, SummerOfCode2007, SummerOfCode2008, SummerOfCode2009, SummerOfCode2010, SummerOfCode2011 SummerOfCode2012, SummerOfCode2013, SummerOfCode2014, SummerOfCode2015, SummerOfCode2016, SummerOfCode2017, SummerOfCode2018, SummerOfCode2019. == Ideas list / Participating / Applying == '''The list of proposed projects is available at: [[/Projects|Projects]].''' === I want to participate as student === Be sure you are eligible; check [[https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/rules/]] 6.1 "Students Eligibility" for some of the rules.

Then, you should [[http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/connection/start/user/google/gsoc2014/debian|request a connection with Debian]] to be added as a mentor. }}} A practical mentoring guide can be found [[https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/|here]]. === Guidelines for GSoC Projects in Debian === Our mentors are required to provide prospective students with some small (i.e. that can be accomplished in at most a few hours) task related to the proposed project. This will help both the mentor and student decide if they are a suitable match for each other and the project. In the case that the Debian GSoC team has to rank projects, the results of this small task will also help give confidence in a project-mentor-student matchup. The proposed project should also follow some rules: * All proposed projects must directly relate to Debian and fit into the pre-existing work of a Debian team * All projects must have at least one mentor with a formal affiliation to the Debian project or be widely recognized as a contributor to the Debian community * Mentors are only mentors for one project (That applies to mentors and co-mentors) == Contact == We use the following mailing list: http://lists.debian.org/debian-outreach/ All students and mentors are welcome to subscribe. We're also on IRC: [[irc://irc.debian.org/debian-outreach|#debian-outreach]] in the OFTC network (irc.debian.org). Just drop in and ask your questions. {{{#!wiki comment we do not have the password and they are not very used anyway, better send things to debian's one Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/DebianGSoC }}} The Google's Summer of Code general IRC channel is [[irc://irc.freenode.net/gsoc|#gsoc]] in Freenode. === Crew === '''Administrators''' || '''Name''' || '''IRC''' nick || '''Comment''' || || Molly de Blanc || mollydb || || || Alexander Wirt || formorer || || || Pranav Jain || pjain || || || Jaminy Prabaharan || JaminyP || || == Google timeline == The full timeline is available [[https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline|here]]. == Meta == === Promotion === Organize the promotion of the Google Summer of Code at Debian here.
