Hello Apache Fineract and Mifos Communities, I just wanted to inform you that the Mifos Initiative has been selected as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code for the seventh time.
Members across our communities will be mentoring for projects contributing back to the core Apache Fineract platform, the new Apache Fineract CN framework as well as Mifos X mobile and web apps that consume these platforms. Our efforts are in addition to projects related to Apache Fineract that are applied under Apache Software Foundation as the umbrella organization. As evident last year with our 12 interns, our direct involvement in GSOC is one of the ways we can most impactfully add value to the financial inclusion needs of our community. We are continuing to refine our ideas located at https://mifosforge.jira. com/wiki/spaces/RES/pages/225411076/Google+Summer+of+Code+2018+Ideas As we noted earlier, we're eager to discuss with the community what projects/ideas they would like to see - we will work to find suitable mentors and identify potential interns to work on these. Our GSOC students go on to become the most loyal and committed members of our community so this is both a valuable way to evolve the product and platform in near term and build our long-term community of contributors. Cheers, Ed
