Subject: GSoC Org Apps - review yours ASAP for common issues

Google Summer of Code


We are sending this email to all Org Admins of Orgs that applied to GSoC 2024.

This year we have noticed a large number of org apps are missing required information or having issues with project sizes. Please review your org app for these common mistakes that could result in your org app being rejected.


Project sizes need to be scoped to 90, 175 or 350 hours (you can not have a project that is 200 hours, or some other random number of hours).
Make sure your Project Ideas list is public so GSoC Google reviewers can access it.
Make sure your Project Ideas include the ALL of the required information below:

a) a project title/description b) more detailed description of the project (2-5 sentences) c) expected outcomes d) skills required/preferred e) possible mentors f) expected size of project (90, 175 or 350 hour – yes, 3 options starting in 2024). And if possible, an easy, intermediate or hard/difficult rating of each project. This helps the more inexperienced folks not get overwhelmed and they can focus on reviewing easy project ideas.

You should already have your ideas list mostly complete. While it is okay to continue to add Project Ideas you should not have an empty project ideas list as Google Admins are reviewing these applications (and have been for the last 5+ days) and we need to see ideas posted to be able to consider your application.

Thanks, we look forward to sending out the notifications of project acceptance Tuesday, February 20th. This is 1 day before we announce the accepted orgs publicly to give orgs a chance to organize their mentors before the GSoC contributors start actively reaching out to orgs.

Best,
Stephanie Taylor
GSoC Program Lead
