  Google Summer of Code (GSoC) will begin accepting student applications on March 29, 2021. The global, online program is designed to engage students with open source software communities. In the lead-up to applications opening, we are planning a workshop for students in Ireland to learn more about the GSoC program and share best practices on developing a winning proposal on March 10th. GSoC s a highly competitive and unique program – in the past 16 years we have had over 16,000 students from 111 countries accepted into the program. Participants are paired with a mentor to help introduce them to an open source community and guide them with their project. GSoC gives students invaluable real world experience and an opportunity to receive a stipend to contribute to open source software. Google will announce the 2021 GSoC open source mentoring organizations on March 9th. At that point students will want to check out the project ideas and reach out to the organizations that interest them to learn more about the projects. We would appreciate your help spreading the word about our Google Summer of Code workshop to students at your institution: Register for the workshop on our website: goo.gle/GSOC2021 GSOC Workshop Date and Time: March 10, 2021 16:00 – 17:00 Details of the program are available on the program site along with Advice for Students for quick tips and the Student Guide for more details on the whole program. |
