<b>Are you a student looking to apply to GSoC with Mozilla?</b> You're in the right place. | <b>Are you a student looking to apply to GSoC with Mozilla?</b> You're in the right place. This page lists all the confirmed [[SummerOfCode|Google Summer of Code]] projects. New suggestions can be made on [[Community:SummerOfCode17:Brainstorming|the Brainstorming page]]. Do not edit this page yourself; contact Mike Hoye or Florian for edits. | ||
If you're interested in participating in Mozilla's GSoC program, you can choose from the list below, '''but you do not have to'''. You can submit a proposal for your own idea. You should look at the [[Community:SummerOfCode17:Brainstorming|guidelines]], though, and discuss your ideas or application in the #introduction channel on IRC.Mozilla.org. This is important, as GSoC projects '''must have''' a supporting member of the Mozilla community to evaluate and mentor them, named in the application. | |||
==Application Advice== | |||
You should do the following: | |||
* Talk to the mentor. Contact details are on this page; if all you have is a nickname, reach out to them on IRC. | |||
* Read the [https://flossmanuals.net/GSoCStudentGuide/ GSoC Student Guide] and follow its advice. | |||
* Read [http://blog.gerv.net/2006/05/how_not_to_apply_for_summer_of/ How Not To Apply For Summer Of Code] and avoid doing the things listed there. | |||
* Read our examples of good applications: [[SummerOfCode/SampleApplications/1|1]], [[SummerOfCode/SampleApplications/2|2]], [[SummerOfCode/SampleApplications/3|3]]. | |||
* Apply on [https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ the GSoC site] (note that we have an [[SummerOfCode/ApplicationTemplate|application template]]). | |||
* It is entirely acceptable to apply for 2 or 3 projects, if more than one catches your eye; if the applications are high quality, that can improve your chances. Applying to more than that will seem like spam. | |||
Questions about individual projects are best addressed to the potential mentor of that project. These should be listed in the table below. If you want to contact a mentor and contact details are not here, ask people in the #introduction channel on IRC: irc://irc.mozilla.org/#introduction. If you have questions of any other sort, send mail to [mailto:mhoye@mozilla.com Mike Hoye]. He will try and respond promptly and direct your questions to the right person. | |||
