Hi all,
Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2018 is about to start soon [1]
(the application period for organizations is in January 2018).
Hence, I would very happy about any project ideas you have or
projects which are important to you.
And, of course, if you would be willing to mentor a student,
please don't forget to tell me.
You can always reach me via mail (seb [at] wilzba [dot] ch) or
on Slack (dlang.slack.com). There's also a special #gsoc
channel.

I redirect your question to Google's official FAQ:

I hope this answers your question.
