Google Summer of Code/2013

Wikimedia has been accepted again at Google Summer of Code!

GSOC is the most popular among the open source mentorship programs where we get involved.

You can find more information, FAQs and tutorials for students, mentors and org admins in the official website.

See the GSOC DOs and DON’Ts - Student Edition. Check also some real examples of good GSoC project proposals, and these ones specific to Wikimedia: User:Jarry1250/GSoC 2012 roadmap & User:Drecodeam/GSoC 2012 Application.

LADIES! Check out also the Free and Open Source Outreach Program for Women. We are running both programs in parallel.

Students
This table reflects the students that have applied to GSoC 2013 and have options to be selected. Students are encouraged to keep their entries up to date.

The selection process has started. Google has announced we have 21 slots available. In the meantime, everybody is encouraged to


 * Vote and contribute to the technical discussion about features at their Bugzilla reports.
 * Endorse and comment on students' proposals at their discussion wiki pages.

We will use this feedback as one of several factors to prioritize features and candidates.

Administrativia
The people in charge of applying to GSoC, running the program and assist mentors and students in anything beyond their projects.

Our plans take into consideration the lessons learned in 2012 and the DOs and DON’Ts - Org Admin Edition.
