I would like a small summary about the difference between last year and this \
year:<br> <br>
What are the changes for 2021 from 2020?</p>
<ol>
<li><b style="font-size:large">Smaller project size</b><b style="font-size:large"> -

Reasoning from GSoC administrators:<br>
</font></li></ol>
<ul>
<li>Currently we are missing out on many wonderful students who could never commit to \
such a huge project and time commitment but would be great contributors to your \
community. This is a significant change as we now are no longer strongly encouraging \
students to focus only on GSoC over their summer. Students have many other \
responsibilities especially during the pandemic that make it hard for them to spend \
30 hours a week on a project. </li><li><font size="2">We realize this is going to \
require all of you to think about smaller projects and update your project \
ideas.</font></li></ul> <ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><b><font size="4">2 evaluations (instead of 3)</font></b> - There will \
be an evaluation after 5 weeks and the final evaluation will take place after the \
10th week. We are also no longer requiring students complete their first evaluation \
(though we encourage them to do so), so if a student doesn't complete the first \
evaluation they will not automatically be removed from the program. They are still \
required to complete the final evaluation.</p> </li><li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><b><font size="4">Eligibility requirements</font></b> - In 2020 there \
are many ways students are learning and we want to acknowledge that so we will be \
allowing students who are 18 years old AND currently enrolled (or accepted into) a \

post-secondary academic program between December 1, 2020 and May 17, 2021 to apply to \
the GSoC program.</p> </li></ol>
<ul>
<li>What this means is that now the program will be open to folks participating in a \
