Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is an online initiative that recruits new contributors to open source software projects throughout the world. The initiative began in 2005 and was aimed at attracting university students to open source till 2021. We’ve broadened the program to accept any new open source contributors who are 18 years or older to apply as GSoC Contributors starting in 2022. These GSoC Contributors will write code and contribute to these open source communities while earning money.
The organizations provide mentors who function as guides throughout the process, from learning about the community to assisting GSoC Contributors in becoming familiar with the code base and testing methods, and eventually publishing their code for everybody to use! The ultimate goal is for these GSoC Contributors to become enthusiastic about the communities with which they interact during the program and to continue actively contributing to those communities long after their GSoC program has ended – or even to start their own open source project!
