The vision of the Drupal Association is to establish the community-built Drupal software as the leading platform for the Web and how? Well, by uniting a global open source community to build, secure, and promote Drupal. It is in clear that in order to achieve this ambitious goal, we constantly need to challenge ourselves and others and grow our community with fresh bright minds. Google Summer of Code has historically been a great source of finding these talents and are an amazing example of our more internal tagline -> Come for the code, stay for the community.
We would love to have +- 10 students, focussing on the main challenges that Drupal has today in order to stay a top of class Digital Experience Platform. We would consider it a success if we find students that want to tackle these challenges with us together. These strategic initiatives can be found at https://www.drupal.org/about/core/strategic-initiatives. It would be successful if we could make progress in these initiatives with motivated students that would stay after the program and maybe also see opportunities for them to find a way to keep tackling these problems in a professional setting (eg, their own business or in a company). This both helps the students, the economy and the Drupal project mission & vision
