Google Summer of Code/Mentors

Overview
As a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) mentor, you engage potential candidates in the application period between March and April and help candidates make small contributions to your project. You work more closely with the accepted candidates during the coding period between May and August. It is a great mentoring opportunity to introduce newcomers to open source through coding projects, make progress on new ideas that otherwise may be of a less priority to you, and in the overall process improve your professional development skills. Our participation in GSoC also helps us understand new developers experiences and help make improvements to the contribution guidelines and processes around attracting and retaining developers.
