Sample GSoC Proposal Applications

Following are two real applications from Google Summer of Code 2014 which we thought are good enough to put up as examples. Having said that, none of them are perfect, so please treat them as inspirational material, and not as templates to copy from:

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

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

Google Code-In 2014 - Announcement and Application

Are you interested in contributing to Drupal, but don't have the coding skills or experience necessary? Good news, now you have an awesome opportunity to contribute! Drupal is currently in the application process to be a part of the Google Code-In ( http://www.google-melange.com/gci/homepage/google/gci2014 ) contest for pre-university students ages 13-17. Our current need is building a list of quality tasks for students to work on during the contest. Please realize these don't have to be code related tasks, but should fit into one of the following five categories: Code, Documentation/Training, Outreach/Research, Quality Assurance, User Interface.

The application process started Tuesday October 28th and ends this Monday November 10th. Our goal is to submit an application with at least 50 quality tasks. Please contribue by adding task ideas directly our open to the public Google Spreadsheet ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sFf5wnuCSkNauNw26-Kml0snplF4Fx0j... ) until midnight UTC-6 Sunday November 9th. After that, we need to see if Drupal is approved for the contest. If approved, we will need help creating, documenting, and mentoring an additional 100-200 tasks. The more tasks we setup the more opportunities we have to contribue to Drupal.

Did you know that organizations accepted into the GCI contest send the top two students on an all expense paid trip to Google in Mountain View with a parent/guardian ( http://www.google-melange.com/gci/document/show/gci_program/google/gci20... )? I know that I would be very excited as a young computer nerd to even have a chance to participate in such a program. As a community, we have a very good chance to make connections with young students who could end up spending a good amount of time focusing on Drupal after completing the contest. A good way to find quality contributors might be Drupal sending a few young people to California/GoogleHQ...

GCI Summary:
"Code-In can be thought of as the "Summer of Code" for pre-university students. Rather than specific coding projects, students age 13-17 take on smaller tasks in five categories: Code, Documentation/Training, Outreach/Research, Quality Assurance, User Interface."

    GSoC 2014 Experiences

    Google Summer of Code 2014 is over and we are planning to write a summary of the entire Summer of Code experience. We want to all the students/mentors to write a one-line summary of their experience/takeaways from the program. Eventually we can post collect and post all the user stories together (something like: http://google-opensource.blogspot.in/2014/01/google-summer-of-code-veter...). So, please comment below in one line describing your experience.

    This post, when complete will also be posted on Google's open source blog.

    Elasticsearch module for Drupal 8

    Hi,
    This is Prateek and the post is to announce the successful creation of a basic Elasticsearch module for Drupal 8 as part of my GSoC '14 project. I've also uploaded a video tutorial on setting up this module. It's still under development and will be enriched and updated with time along with the addition of more features.

    Currently, one may install the 8.x-1.x branch and use it for indexing and searching through Search API backend. Please report any issues you may come across.
