<p>Thanks to you for sharing, I hadn't heard about that yet. It
would be interesting to find or create and share a comparison with
GSoC.</p>
<p>So far, what strikes the most is the student support, which
varies between 6000 and 12000 RMB. GSoC's stipends diminished a
lot since inception (even nominally), but they remain way more
competitive for a comparable time investment ("a summer"). At best
1 538 € for writing an application plus a summer of work will
generate limited interest by Western standards, in particular
considering that this doesn't come with Google's prestige.<br>
Comparison:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/student-stipends">https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/student-stipends</a></p>
<p>On the other hand, the incentive for organizations is much
better, in the absolute: "Each project will be awarded RMB 5,000",
which is 641 €. Unfortunately, I'm afraid getting KDE e.V. to
apply would still be the hardest part this year, given the May
20th deadline. Considering we've never participated in this
program, we'd need very motivated volunteers to achieve that.
Realistically, it's not a bad thing to let other organizations
iron out the program and hope it comes back next year, when we
could evaluate participation earlier and use feedback from other
organizations to judge if it's smooth and reliable.</p>
