  1. WYSIWYG inline entity for Drupal 8 by Chandan Singh (cs_shadow)

  2. Port Securesite module to Drupal 8 by Shivanshu Agrawal (shivanshuag)

Overall web page:
https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/resources/presentations

PDF version of the slides:
https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/resources/downloads/GSoC_2...
