Hello everybody, We are excited to have so many active students again this year!
I guess everyone has read our instructions, http://wiki.dbpedia.org/gsoc2018, and the GSoC timeline, https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline In any case, please read it again. :-) Make sure you understand everything and don't be afraid to ask for clarifications. The application period is now officially open, so students should visit the program site, g.co/gsoc, to register and start submitting their proposals for the summer projects to us. Please elaborate your proposal in a Google Doc. When you're done, share it with the respective mentor, https://github.com/dbpedia/GSoC/blob/master/2018/Mentors.md The deadline for proposals is March 27, but it will make it easier for you (and your mentors) to start preparing and sharing your application sooner rather than later. You should also use the Github site, https://github.com/dbpedia/GSoC, to ask questions to make sure you understood everything. The warm up tasks are meant to get you hand-on with the project and see if it something you actually like. Both questions and the warm up tasks are only meant to help write a perfect application that impresses us. This is your final goal and this is what we will evaluate in the end so please do not forget that! Also, keep in mind that all mentors have a full-time job and do the mentoring on their free time. The sooner you send them a draft of your application, the more time you give them to provide you feedback for improvements and the more time you have to incorporate their feedback back in your proposal. Good luck to everyone, we are looking forward to read your awesome applications. Magnus, on behalf of the DBpedia GSoC Admin team -- Magnus Knuth Universität Leipzig Institut für Informatik Abt.
