Happy New Year!
We are excited to announce the full GSoC 2022 timeline. With Organization applications opening in a few weeks, February 7 - 21, we wanted to remind everyone of the important changes to think about when considering your application.
Be sure to have both ~175 hr projects and ~350 hour projects that you would like GSoC contributors to work on included in your Ideas List.
Reach out to your community members to ask if they would like to be mentors for the program. This year with the option of extending projects for up to 22 weeks we hope some of your community members that weren’t able to participate before will be able to make the more flexible schedule work for them.
Having a thorough and well thought out list of Project Ideas is the most important part of your application.
You can check out the 2022 GSoC Org Application Short Answer Questions if you’d like to start preparing your responses in advance so you can copy over your answers once the org applications open February 7 at g.co/gsoc - there are a couple of different questions this year.
Please encourage other open source orgs to apply -- if you know of other open source projects that may be interested in applying to GSoC as a first time org please remind them to check out the available resources below and have them put your org (or you) down as a reference when they apply.
Open source projects can apply to be mentoring organizations from February 7- 21 at 1800 UTC.
