Google Summer of Code/Administrators

Participating in Google Summer of Code requires the Wikimedia organization administrators to perform certain preparation steps and also recurring tasks while the contest is running.

This page is supposed to cover these steps and best practices in order to help next year's organization administrators and improve our processes.

Before getting accepted

 * Find and define two organization admins
 * Apply as an organization by filling out the form
 * Check the general manual for admins and mentors (?)
 * Create Google Summer of Code 20XX page (using information from Google Summer of Code 2016 as a guideline)
 * link to that page from Google Summer of Code and Template:GSoC
 * Request and create "Google-Summer-of-Code-20xx" project in Phabricator
 * Try to connect the priorities of community wishlist and other tech priorities with the Google Summer of Code project, with an intention to bring out possible projects from there. T126961 should serve as a model for the same. For org Admins, this means exploring the domains/tasks which could serve as potential projects.
