Google Summer of Code 2022

[Simon Poole]

Hi,

just as in previous years OSM will be applying for participation in 
Googles Summer of Code. This is a programme that intends to introduce 
developers to open source by providing paid time to work on a project 
and at the same time support open source projects.

For this year some of the rules have changed: in particular the previous 
hard requirement to be a student has been relaxed, however the person 
should be new to open source, there are two different sizes of projects 
175 hours and 350 hours and there is some more flexibility with respect 
to timing.

You can find more information here 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2022 .

We are looking both for project ideas (in the two size categories 
mentioned above) and mentors. While volunteering to mentor a project 
that you yourself have proposed is a good idea, we have had student 
proposed projects in the past for which having a pool of potential 
mentors to point to would have been helpful.

Project ideas can be added here 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Google_Summer_of_Code/2022/Project_ideas 
, if you are interested in mentoring please send mail to 
gsoc-orga at openstreetmap.org

Simon
