If you're not eligible or interested in participating in GSoC, then most of this post likely isn't relevant to you; if you are, this should contain some useful information and links. + +Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is an annual global program organized by Google that aims to bring new contributors to the world of open-source. The program pairs organizations (such as the OpenDAL Project) with contributors (usually students), with the goal of helping the participants make meaningful open-source contributions under the guidance of experienced mentors. + +Google is sponsoring the [2024 Summer of Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) and [The Apache Software Foundation](https://www.apache.org/) (ASF) registered as a mentoring organization. The GSoC applicants now have several weeks to send project proposals to organizations that appeal to them. If their project proposal is accepted, they will embark on a 12-week journey during which they will try to complete their proposed project under the guidance of an assigned mentor. + +We have prepared [a list of project ideas](https://github.com/apache/opendal/issues/4131) that can serve as inspiration for potential GSoC contributors that would like to send a project proposal to the OpenDAL project. However, applicants can also come up with their own project ideas. You can discuss project ideas or try to find mentors on the [maillist](mailto:[email protected]) or [Discord](https://discord.gg/XQy8yGR2dg). We have also prepared [a proposal guide](https://opendal.apache.org/community/events/gsoc-proposal-guide) that should help you with preparing your project proposals. + +You can start discussing the project ideas with OpenDAL Project maintainers immediately. The project proposal application period starts on March 18, 2024, and ends on April 2, 2024 at 18:00 UTC. Take note of that deadline, as there will be no extensions! + +If you are interested in contributing to the OpenDAL Project, we encourage you to check out our project idea list and send us a GSoC project proposal! Of course, you are also free to discuss these projects and/or try to move them forward even if you do not intend to (or cannot) participate in GSoC. We welcome all contributors to OpenDAL, as there is always enough work to do. + +we are excited about this event. Hoping you all feel the same way!
