<div dir="auto">Greetings all.<div dir="auto"> I'm Fongang Rodrique a first-year student in University of Buea. Cameroon. I joined this dev list not long ago. I just wish to express my interest in participating in this year's GSoc program under OSM. I went through the project ideas and found some interesting ones. </div><div dir="auto">Hope OSM gets to take part.</div><div dir="auto">Thanks! </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sat, Feb 2, 2019, 5:37 PM Tobias Knerr <<a href="mailto:osm@tobias-knerr.de">osm@tobias-knerr.de</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi all,<br>
<br>
I would like to invite the OSM community – and particularly developers<br>
of open source software from the OSM ecosystem – to add project ideas<br>
for Google Summer of Code 2019 to the wiki:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2019/Project_ideas" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2019/Project_ideas</a><br>
<br>
During GSoC, university students receive stipends from Google and spend<br>
a couple months contributing to FOSS projects. Students are mentored by<br>
more experienced contributors during that time. And while students<br>
aren't restricted to the suggested project ideas, most end up picking<br>
something from that list.<br>
<br>
OSM has successfully participated as a mentoring organization in Google<br>
Summer of Code for over a decade, and members of the Engineering Working<br>
Group are currently working on the application for this year. We hope to<br>
have at least some content on the ideas page by the application deadline<br>
(Wednesday – see <a href="https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline</a><br>
for the full timeline), but of course you'll be able to edit your<br>
project ideas and add more of them afterwards, too.<br>
<br>
GSoC is always an opportunity for FOSS projects to attract new<br>
developers and get some cool features implemented, so I hope to see a<br>
lot activity again this year!<br>
<br>
