kain88-de · January 17, 2017, 1:53am

Hi

Organizations can start submitting applications for Google Summer of Code
2017 on January 19 (and the deadline is February 9)

https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline?hl=en

NumFOCUS will be applying again this year. If you want to work with us
please let me know and if you apply as an organization yourself or under a
different umbrella organization please tell me as well. If you participate
with us it would be great if you start to add possible projects to the
ideas page on github soon. We some general information for mentors on
github.

# Contributing Guide for Mentors and Sub Orgs
## Organizations Eligible Under NumFOCUS Umbrella

Organizations either financially supported or affiliated with NumFOCUS can
participate under the NumFOCUS umbrella. The organization must also have:

1. One sub-org admin
   and at least two mentors (**the sub-org admin can be one of the mentors**)
   who are willing to commit for the full GSoC period.
2. Must be a NumFOCUS sponsored or affiliated project
3. Have a good ideas page (**NumFOCUS Admins will help with that**).

The sub org administrator and has the responsibility to communicate with
NumFOCUS and advertise GSoC to the community of their organization.

You can signup as a participating org with us until the application deadline for
the current year or up to 3 days after Google announces that NumFOCUS is
participating as a umbrella org.

When you sign-up with us you should also tell us your preferred way for students

We also have a template for ideas that might help. It lists the things
Google likes to see.

In case you participated in earlier years with NumFOCUS there are some
small changes this year. Raniere won’t be the admin this year. Instead I’m
going to be the admin. We are also planning to include two explicit rules
when a student should be failed, they have to communicate regularly and
commit code into your development branch at the end of the summer.

best, Max
