About Google Summer of Code
Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global program that offers student
developers stipends to write code for various open source software
projects. We have worked with several open source, free software, and
technology-related groups to identify and fund several projects over a
three month period. Since its inception in 2005, the program has brought
together nearly 3,400 students and more than more than 3,000 mentors &
co-mentors from nearly 100 countries worldwide, all for the love of
code. Through Google Summer of Code, accepted student applicants are
paired with a mentor or mentors from the participating projects, thus
gaining exposure to real-world software development scenarios and the
opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic pursuits.
In turn, the participating projects are able to more easily identify and
bring in new developers. Best of all, more source code is created and
released for the use and benefit of all.
