Did you know Drupal was accepted into Google Summer of Code 2017 and that Drupal selected 8 projects? In other words, Google is funding 8 people to contribute to Drupal for 10 weeks worth ~$40,000 USD (thank you Google!). Congratulations to selected students who collectively became one of the top 20 contributing organizations on drupal.org (list @ https://www.drupal.org/organizations). Proud to note that all GSoC 2017 students have already become core contributors!

Majority of projects are focused on work related to Drupal 8 contributed modules. Drupal's students are all from Indian except one student from the UK, we currently have 15 mentors from 10 countries with over 100 years of experience on drupal.org. As always, we're excited about this summer and we hope community members will provide an extra helping hand if you see students in issue queues. GSoC runs from May 30th through August 21st 2017.

Seems like an amazing opportunity. I myself is a freelance webdesigner not only for drupal projects but others as well. Latest i began experiencing with the new AMP platform (developed by Google in fact) and among other websites, created this one https://moneybanker.dk as my first project with the coding platform. Will try to apply for joining this event myself next time around.
