The Python Software Foundation is pleased to announce that 36
applications from students wishing to participate in the Google Summer
of Code program have been accepted with Python-related projects
sponsored by the PSF.
Accepted Projects
Below is a list of the projects accepted for this summer. The links
point to the application abstracts on the GSoC site, so click through
for more details about a given project.
Statistics
This has been a growth year for the PSF's involvement in GSoC. We have
had the largest group of applicants and mentors since we began
participating in the program, up about 10% from last year. Students
submitted 89 applications, both for core Python development work and
for one of the projects being sponsored by the PSF. The community has
provided 72 mentors to help the students.
Increasing Diversity
The PSF is committed to increasing the diversity of the Python
community. One way we have been working toward that goal is by
encouraging women and other minorities to apply to participate in GSoC
through one of the PSF-sponsored projects. This year, three of the 36
accepted applications are from women. That is an improvement over past
years, but we still have work to do to raise the participation rate
further.
What Next?
The GSoC program is now in the Community Bonding Period. Community
members should watch for messages from the student participants on
mailing lists and in other forums, and take the opportunity to get to
know them. This is also a good time to introduce them to the
development tools and processes, and answer questions about how
patches are reviewed and approved or how best to communicate with
other team members.
For more details about the schedule, see the GSoC timeline on the
project web site.
