Student Application ProcessThe determination of appropriate projects is a collaborative effort between those community members (preferably developers) and students (preferably computer science students or adepts). We highly recommend that prospective students join the appropriate IRC channel and mailing lists and discuss project ideas with the community prior to submitting a proposal. See the GSoC Information page (in GSoC Project Available section above) for a given DuraSpace technology for links to that technology's IRC channel(s) and mailing list(s). The order of your proposal submission is irrelevant in the decision making process for selection. What is more important is that the mentors for your project have a strong interest in supporting it during the evaluation process. Review the existing project ideas (see GSoC Project Available section above) or suggest your own and place your student proposal at the GSoC Site: http://socghop.appspot.com A word of warning, in past years, bulk applications have been immediately rejected seen as "insincere". If you are truly interested in multiple project ideas, you are welcome to apply multiple times. But, your applications should be different for each project you apply for (as you will need to write up separate proposals for how you would implement each project). All proposals should effectively outline:
The student application process can be competitive. Last year, DSpace technology alone received about 30 applications, of which only 4 projects were awarded by Google. Yes, that is correct, we do not select how many students can ultimately win. We only rank them according to the community's interest in mentoring the project. Many years it is as much a competition between the mentors as it is the students. Good luck! We look forward to seeing your project ideas! GSoC Hints & Tips (For Students, Mentors, Admins)
