Hi all, It's that time of the year again, and Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program for 2024 has been announced. For those who have not heard about it, GSoC is a "global, online program focused on bringing new contributors into open source software development". The way it works is that we publish project ideas and, if selected, newcomers to open source express their interest in them. The ones finally selected will spend their summer writing code under the guidance of mentors from our project.
The SPDX project has been selected as a participant organization for a number of years and a number of projects have been completed under this program. For this year, we are looking for project ideas! Either small or large, either incremental improvements to existing open source code or new pieces of software; everything is welcome! Please read the basics on https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/defining-a-project-ideas-list.html If you have any idea, open an issue or a PR at https://github.com/spdx/GSoC (which I will update for 2024 shortly), or even send it via email directly to me or the outreach team list. Even more important than project ideas, we are also looking for mentors! Please get in contact if you are willing to help new members become active participants to SPDX this summer. Each project should have at least two mentors (a primary and a secondary one) who will guide the contributors in their journey. Feel free to contact me directly if you want more details on any of the above. Looking forward to lots of participation! -- zvr Intel Deutschland GmbH Registered Address: Am Campeon 10, 85579 Neubiberg, Germany Tel: +49 89 99 8853-0, www.intel.de <http://www.intel.de> Managing Directors: Christin Eisenschmid, Sharon Heck, Tiffany Doon Silva Chairperson of the Supervisory Board: Nicole Lau Registered Office: Munich Commercial Register: Amtsgericht Muenchen HRB 186928 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
