Hi all,
We are excited to welcome the 20th year of Google Summer of Code this year.
GSoC Admins will be hosting a few GSoC Contributor Tips talks (it will be the same content just over different dates, so hopefully one will work with your schedule).
In the talks, GSoC Program Lead Stephanie Taylor will discuss the basics of the program (goals, eligibility, timeline, etc.) while also spending time on things to consider when selecting an organization to apply to and tips on writing your GSoC proposal.
These talks will occur over the next 6 weeks to give folks plenty of time to prepare before GSoC contributor applications open on March 18.
And 1 tip to remember - it’s ALWAYS best to reach out to the orgs that interest you as soon as they are announced Feb 21. We’ll go into more detail about that in the talks.
There will also be time for live Q&A at the end of each talk.
We hope you can join us for one of these upcoming GSoC Contributor Tips talks:
Wednesday, January 17th 1600-1700 UTC on Discord
discord.gg/google-dev-community
in our Google Summer of Code room (part of the Google Developer Community channel)
Tuesday, February 13th 1600-1700 UTC
Via Google Meet: meet.google.com/nkg-aovc-fdq
Thursday, February 22nd 2000-2100 UTC
Via Google Meet: meet.google.com/oqz-rtqn-qyk
