Hello all,
Google announced the start of accepting proposals for GSoC 2016 few hours
ago. Interested and eligible candidates should submit their proposals at
http://g.co/gsoc before the deadline of Friday, March 25 at 19:00 UTC.
Wikimedia evaluates your proposal Phabricator task, but it is required that
you have a copy of the same in the GSoC portal too, to make sure it gets a
slot ( if eligible ). By March 25th, every possible application should have *2
mentors* connected with it, and should have a proposal copy in Phabricator,
as well as the GSoC portal. Please make sure you mention the phab task
details in your proposal, for convenience. If you are planning to apply,
you should be looking at
Life_of_a_successful_project#Coming_up_with_a_proposal
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_programs/Life_of_a_successful_project#Coming_up_with_a_proposal>
As of today, we have *8* projects featured for this round ( strong idea + 2
mentors connected ), and *13* projects missing one among the two mentors.
Interested in mentoring ? see
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/possible-tech-projects/ and add
yourself as one.
The Outreachy round May - August 2016 is open, with a deadline of *March
22, 2016 *and eligible applicants are advised to apply for *both* GSoC and
Outreachy, so that the project can still make it, in case we are missing a
slot with a strong applicant.
