#GSOC

Hi everyone,

GSoC 2014 has finally come to an end. The last three months has been awesome working with miro and berdir (my mentors). My project was to improve Monitoring module (https://drupal.org/project/monitoring) for D8 and also enhance its user and developer experience by converting its custom hook architecture to a standard config entity with plugin pattern so that sensors can be created and configured in the UI. More details on this is mentioned here: https://groups.drupal.org/node/423938

Hello again,

I am writing this blog post in order to announce that D8 XmlSitemap module is almost done. There are some minor issues that should be solved (improve documentation, remove some comments, remove some unused functions). The whole functionality of the module was ported to D8 version.

We have been made some changes during the coding period than can be used only in the D8 version:

Hello everyone I am Jayesh Solanki, IT engineering undergraduate student from Mumbai, India.
I have been accepted for Google Summer of Code this year. I have always loved Open Source Softwares and now becoming a part of the Drupal community is just amazing.

For the next 3 months I will be working on porting Disqus module to Drupal 8. The module is available in Drupal 7 where commenting is only supported on Nodes and Users. For Drupal 8
the Disqus module will be generalized to all entities.

Maybe we should take webchick's advice at the end of this thread: https://groups.drupal.org/node/293088#comment-916238

and create a general "Google Summer of Code" group instead of doing one for each year?

What do you think, should we edit the name?

Big news! The annual Google Code-In contest kicked off Monday, November 18th. The contest's purpose for pre-university students (ages 13 - 17) is learning how to contribute to open-source software projects and offers them a chance to win a once in a life time grand prize of an all expense paid trip to Google HQ in California. The bigger news...Drupal was chosen as one of the ten participating organizations to create tasks for the students to complete during the 2013 contest! This is a huge honor for Drupal and gives us an amazing opportunity to grow our community.

Drupal Community members can still participate in Google Summer of Code Doc Camp 2013, help at Google's Mountain View campus October 14-October 18. Applications are due by August 7.

What is it?

Can somebody explain in detail what is the eligibility criteria for GSOC and how one can register for it.
Thanks.
