This year, Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is open to anyone who is a newbie to open source. Not just students. As such, we replace the term "Student" with "Contributor" this year.
Given below is an introductory presentation to GSoC 2022.
There
are some more important changes to GSoC
this year compared to the past years. Specifically, workload has been
made flexible this year. Some projects are medium size, requiring a
half-time effort (18 hrs/week, 175 hours in total) as in 2021. Other
projects are large projects (full-time, 35 hrs/week, 350 hours in
total). Make sure to find the project that fits your availability. Of
course, large projects yield to double the stipend compared to the
medium size project, as your effort will be double too. Additional
flexibility also include the potential to complete the GSoC up to 2
months later, with the mentors' prior approval.
2020
and before, the potential to commit full-time to GSoC was a major
deciding
factor. Mentors would avoid selecting candidates who already have an
on-going internship or a job unless they still exhibit the potential to
commit the same amount of time and effort. This year, just like 2021,
allows the half-time (medium-size projects) contributors to have other
internships in parallel.
Mentors and collaborators can even schedule
their work hours the way they see fit.
Good luck!
