I think that the purpose of GSoC (and other outreach programmes) is (or should be) mainly to grow the FLOSS community and bring in new people as existing folks leave. Of course the different actors use it for different things; Google uses it to enhance their reputation in the FLOSS community, students use it to further their careers, FLOSS projects use it to get things done that they cannot do otherwise etc. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
