GSoC

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is an online, international program designed to encourage university student participation in open source software development. Students work with an open source organization on a programming project.

As a part of Google Summer of Code, student participants are paired with a mentor from the participating organizations, gaining exposure to real-world software development and techniques. In turn, the participating organizations are able to identify and bring in new developers who implement new features and hopefully continue to contribute to open source even after the program is over. Most importantly, more code is created and released for the use and benefit of all.
