Overview
The Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program gives new contributors an opportunity to be part of open source projects and gain real world experience by working on a 12+ week coding project with 100+ open source organizations under the guidance of dedicated mentors.
Since 2005, GSoC has brought more than 19,000 students and new contributors into open source software development.
Program Goals
- To motivate developers to begin participating in open source software development.
- To help open source projects bring in new developers into their communities.
- To give new contributors exposure to real world open source software development scenarios (testing, version control, software licensing, etc.).
- Create more open source code for everyone.
