Hello all,
This is a reminder that the *deadline *to apply for Google Summer of Code
2016 with Wikimedia Foundation falls in *< 24 hours* at Friday, *March 25*
at 19:00 UTC. Please make sure that you have your *pdf *copy of proposal in
the application system at g.co/gsoc well before, to avoid last minute
confusions.
Past the deadline, applicants can do *minor* edits to their proposal copy
in Phabricator, which should be limited to wording/style changes. All
proposals submitted in the application system should have its copy in
Phabricator as Life_of_a_successful_project#Submitting_your_proposal
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_programs/Life_of_a_successful_project#Submitting_your_proposal>,
and should have minimum *2 mentors *connected with it. Make sure you have a
link to your Phabricator task somewhere in the proposal, to make things
easy. We will be sending a separate notification to all proposals submitted
on the same, and get ready for more emails!
Project mentors and co-mentors are required to get connected with the
application system via *invites*, and you can add your name to the
description at
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128441 or comment, for
the same. We will be starting separate Conpherence for that, either-way.
Thanks,

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.
Thinking of motivating someone in your locality to take part in ? Find
flyers and presentations here

for
GSoC 2016 round!
