The GSoC 20201 Organization applications are now open. **If you are a student interested in applying, please send a separate message to this list.**
The deadline for the application is February 19. See https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/how-it-works/#timeline. First off, anyone who is interested in mentoring, please add your name to the list of potential mentors at https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-Ideas#potential-mentors. I encourage students from previous years to consider mentoring this year. It is important to add your name there, as Google looks at how many mentors we have when considering our application. Even if you are unsure if you can mentor, or would only be interested in mentoring, please add your name there (whether or not you actually mentor will be up to you and will be based on if there is an actual application for a project you want to mentor). I cleared the names from last year, so if you mentored in the past you should re-add yourself to confirm that you can mentor again this year. Note that there is an important update to the GSoC rules this year. GSoC projects are expected to take up 175 hours over the three month period. Previously it was 350 hours. This should make things more accommodating for students who have exams in the middle of the summer. This means we should reduce the scope of any larger ideas, and also take this into consideration when reviewing proposals. I have updated the wiki to remove the years from the ideas page, application template, and student instructions pages URLs (if you want see the previous versions of these pages, look at the wiki git history). They are at https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-Ideas https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-Student-Instructions https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-Application-Template Please go over those pages and update them. The ideas page in particular needs to be updated, so that any ideas that are not relevant any more are updated or removed. If you know of an idea on the page that is no longer accurate, please update it. If you have an idea not on there, add it too (if you are unsure about the idea, you can discuss it here first). I am also in the process of updating the org application itself at https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2021-Organization-Application. Comments and edits on this are welcome too.
