Did you know Drupal was accepted into Google Summer of Code 2019 and that 4 Drupal projects were accepted? In other words, Google is funding 4 people to contribute to Drupal for 10 weeks (thank you Google!). Congratulations to selected students! Coding starts May 27th and ends August 19th.
Majority of projects are focused on work related to Drupal 8 contributed modules. Drupal has 3 students from India and 1 from China with mentors from around the world. As always, we're excited about this summer and we hope community members will provide an extra helping hand if you see students in queues. Learn more about our projects below.
