Students who want to participate in the Google Summer of Code project
this year should apply online now! The deadline for applications is
April 8, but the load on the servers increases as that date
approaches, so apply now to avoid the rush and make sure your
application is received in time.
Google Summer of Code
Since 2005, the Python Software Foundation has been sponsoring Google
Summer of Code (GSoC) projects to pair students with mentors from
Python-based projects for real-world development experience. Students
who are accepted into the program will spend the summer working on an
open source project in Python, and be paid US$5,000 if the project is
completed.
Projects
In addition to the mentors from the core Python team, several umbrella
teams are already involved with the PSF for GSoC. Details about the
proposed project ideas and prospective mentors can be found on the
wiki.
Increasing Diversity
The PSF is committed to increasing the diversity of the Python
community. One way we are working toward that goal is by encouraging
women and other minorities to apply to participate in GSoC through one
of the PSF-sponsored projects. The Mailman, SciPy, and PySoy
projects are especially active in seeking minority applicants this
year.
Important Dates
For more details about the schedule, see the GSoC timeline on the
project web site.
Updated: The original version of this post incorrectly stated that
students could earn US$4,500 instead of US$5,000.
