Google is now accepting applications for Google Summer of Code 2019 and Drupal has applied. Our initial application is complete, but the most important piece needs work...project idea list @ https://groups.drupal.org/node/534703

Call for mentors and/or people who have project ideas. If you have an idea for a GSoC project, please add it to our wiki. Google will review our application and announce accepted organizations February 26th 2019. Again, our current need is adding project ideas and finding mentors. A quality project idea list is top criteria for being accepted into GSoC.

Congratulations to the Drupal community for being accepted to participate in Google Summer of Code 2018. Information to get started for students and mentors below.

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!

Drupal is officially accepted into Google Summer of Code 2017 and is currently accepting student proposals. Students are encouraged to request proposal reviews on IRC in #drupal-google at Freenode.

Calling all mentors! Even if you don't have an idea or elite coder skills, you can still help. Drupal prefers to accept a small amount of projects with as many mentors per project as possible. If you're interested participating, contact me via d.o or find us on IRC. We're more than happy to team you up with potential students who will continue pushing Drupal 8 to the next level.

Google started accepting organization applications for Summer of Code 2017 today and I'm glad to announce Drupal is applying. Please sign up to be a mentor and/or add a project idea on our wiki @ https://groups.drupal.org/node/515848

Did you know Drupal was accepted into Google Summer of Code 2016 and that 11 Drupal projects were accepted? In other words, Google is funding 11 people to contribute to Drupal for 10 weeks worth a total of $60,500 USD (thank you Google!). Congratulations to selected students who are collectively credited on more than 100 issues fixed in the past 3 months on drupal.org. Coding starts May 23rd and ends August 23rd.

Friendly reminder to students that Google Summer of Code 2015 application proposals are due. Please don't wait until the last minute to submit proposal into Melange. Melange will be slammed with students from all over the world trying to submit at last minute. Plus you should practice submitting into Melange's interface and reviewing submission. There is no problem submitting as many times as needed as long as you meet deadline. Don't forget to continue contributing to issue queues!

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)
