<p>Welcome! <br>
</p>
<p>I don't think that anyone's going to "assign you a task" - it's
about you suggesting what you might be interested in doing, and
what someone is interested in moderating, for next year.<br>
</p>
<p>There’s quite a lot of information in the OSM wiki at <a
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code</a>
. Obviously that’s “up to last year” (there is no information
there about 2023 yet).</p>
<p>What I would suggest is that you try and find out a bit more
about OpenStreetMap as a project.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Processes#Student_application_phase">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Processes#Student_application_phase</a>
suggests "Students ... should familiarise themselves with OSM by
creating an account and improving the map by making some edits in
their local area", and I think that that is a good suggestion -
you'll get to work with the data that is part of the project, use
the editors that mappers use to edit that data, and see the
results appear on maps made from that data.</p>
<p>Someone's created a thread over at the community forum
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/google-summer-of-code-2023/6568">https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/google-summer-of-code-2023/6568</a>
- if you have any questions (such as "where is tool xyz developed"
or "what is there that also does abc") you can ask there, or here.</p>
<p>Best Regards,</p>
