Fwd: [GSoC Mentors] GSoC 2023 open for org applications January 23 - February 7

[Johnny Jazeix]

 Hi,

Are there people willing to help co-admin this year? For now, we are 3
admins so one more would be nice to share the workload.

I've updated the skeleton wiki page to create the 2023 season:
https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2023/Ideas.

Please start discussing among your teams what ideas will be great to have
this year and who is willing to mentor, as the organisation application
date needs to apply between the January 23 - Feb 7, 2023 and we need a wiki
page filled with ideas by then.

More info can be found at

Cheers,

Johnny

We’re pleased to announce
<https://opensource.googleblog.com/2022/11/get-ready-for-google-summer-of-code-2023.html>
the Google Summer of Code 2023 program and timeline
<https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline>. GSoC Org
Applications are open from January 23 - Feb 7, 2023.

In 2022 we implemented our biggest changes to the program in its 18 year
history and had an overwhelmingly positive response to the changes
(extended timelines, medium and large size projects and opening eligibility
beyond students) so we are keeping the changes as we go into 2023 with a
couple of minor tweaks.

   1.

   Per the conversation on the mentor list this summer, we are expanding
   the eligibility to include students and beginners to open source
   development. There was some confusion about students who might have some
   experience in open source so we have fixed that with this new eligibility
   rule.
   2.

   The other change is that we are back to allowing a person to be accepted
   as a GSoC Contributor up to 2 times (regardless of when their first GSoC
   acceptance was). This assumes they could still be considered a beginner -
   ie. they didn’t participate as a GSoC student in 2015 and have been
   actively involved in open source development since then and want to come
   back 8 years later to be a GSoC Contributor.
   3.

   We have shifted the timeline to start a couple of weeks earlier, so that
   the program wraps up for the standard 12 week projects by early September
   which is generally what the schedule looked like for many of the past 18
   years.

*Spreading the word about GSoC*

The GSoC 2023 flyer
<https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/resources/downloads/GSoC2023Flyer.pdf>
and the new, more colorful and exciting GSoC 2023 slides
<https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/resources/downloads/GSoC2023Presentation.pdf>
are available for you to use in any presentations you wish to do about
GSoC. We need your help to spread the word amongst your circles.

We encourage you to explore our resources
<https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/resources/>, timeline
<https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline>, the
Contributor/Student
Guide <https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/>and Mentor Guide
<https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/> as well.


*Have a group you think GSoC Program Admins should reach out to?*

Diversity in open source communities is vital to the health of our
communities. Please spread the word about GSoC to communities in your
country or in your network particularly those that reach underrepresented
groups in open source. If you have a suggestion for a group you think the
GSoC team should add to our list of contacts that we send out emails to
about the program early in the new year, or if you have a group that you
think would be a good opportunity for GSoC Administrators to give a talk
about GSoC please email us at gsoc-support at google.com with their details
(email and contact person if you have one available).


*See you at FOSDEM!*

As Chris mentioned in the GSoC 22 Mentor Summit a couple of weeks ago, our
team is very excited to attend FOSDEM in Brussels in 2023. We will send
more details in January but we are in the early stages of planning a GSoC
Meetup for Saturday night during FOSDEM as we have done in previous years.
Looking forward to seeing many of you in Brussels in February!


*GSoC Videos*

We have been busy working with our mentors and GSoC contributors to create
new GSoC videos as they are a popular medium for new folks to learn about
GSoC.

A HUGE thank you to our mentors that helped with the new ‘Introduction to
Google Summer of Code’ video <https://youtu.be/7jD2tChhrWM> (Adrian,
Benjamin, Ann, Rāzvan,  Meenakshi, Srishti and Gabriel). And thanks to our
mentors and org admins that created 25 GSoC Org videos
<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxNYxgaZ8RscKC8NFOyQK2YdMCrM9Gb5A>
helping interested participants understand more about the many types of
projects available in GSoC. And finally a huge thank you to the mentors and
org admins that have volunteered to be a part of our Community Talk
<https://youtu.be/va_ODtap-pk> series - the 2nd one is November 15th.


*GSoC 2022 Wrap Up Coming in December*

In early December, after the 2022 program has officially ended, we will
send out notes and themes we have collected from all of the mentor and GSoC
contributor evaluations for 2022 to this list.

Thank you all for GSoC 2022, we look forward to our 19th year in 2023!

Best,

Stephanie, Romina and Perry
