SummerOfCode/ApplicationTemplate2014 - Python Wiki

NOTE: Things marked with an * are REQUIRED. Failure to provide the requested information may result in your application being rejected.

It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you submit your proposal early and make changes as you refine it with your mentors. You can make changes in Melange up until the final deadline on March 21, 2014 19:00 UTC (note the time and time zone). No late proposals will be accepted by Google, even if there is a technical problem with the system, so submit early to avoid problems! You may indicate at the top that the current version is a draft or otherwise let us know if you don't want us to look at it yet.

• Sub-organization with whom you hope to work(*):

  (e.g. SunPy, Mercurial, etc. See SummerOfCode/2014 for the list of valid sub-organizations)

You must also put your sub-org information in the title of your proposal, as it makes it easier for mentors to find proposals for their sub-orgs in the melange system.

• Name(*):
• Email(*):
• Telephone(*):
• Time zone(*):
  • (You can specify more than one if you expect to travel during the GSoC period.)
• IRC handle including network:

  • (e.g. valid_nickname_here@irc.network.tld)

• Source control username(s)(*):
  • Provide your user id on Launchpad, Github, Sourceforge, or whatever system your project uses
• IM information:
• Skype:
• Twitter:
• Any other ways we can reach you:
• Home Page(s):
• Blog(s)(*):

  • Note: Blogging about your progress for GSoC will be required. You will need to blog every 2 weeks. If you do not yet have a blog or want to have one specifically for GSoC, please set one up via a service like http://blogger.com before submitting your application.

• GSoC Blog RSS feed(*):

  • This will be included on a blog aggregator for all the GSoC student blogs and probably on Planet Python as well in 2014, so please make sure it will be only relevant and appropriate content. (Note the Python Community Code of Conduct.) We recommend using a tag of "GSoC" or "Python" on your blog.

• Other personal information you think we would find relevant:

• University(*):
• Major(*):
• Current Year and Expected Graduation date(*):
• Degree(*) (e.g. BSc, PhD):

• Proposal Title (*)
  • The name of your proposal. This should explain in a few words what you plan to do and include the name of your sub-org. e.g. "Mailman: SNMP support" or "Kivy: Graphics Pipeline Enhancements."
• Proposal Abstract (*)
  • A short description of your proposed project
• Proposal Detailed Description/Timeline (*)

  • Please include timeline with milestones, preferably weekly ones. You may wish to read the GSoC student guide which includes several examples of good proposals with timelines, or our own information at SummerOfCode/Application

  • Note that any pre-work such as setup and reading documentation should take place during the community bonding period (April 21-May 18). Students will be expected to start producing code starting on May 19th.
• Link to a patch/code sample, preferably one you have submitted to your sub-org (*)

  • Note: Python requires all students to submit a patch. This does not need to be accepted and merged into your project, but it does need to be online and available for potential mentors to inspect. It should be a patch for the sub-org with whom you will be working if accepted for GSoC, unless your mentors specifically indicate to you that another code sample would be acceptable. Contact your mentors if you are unsure what would be an appropriate patch to submit.

• Links to additional information
  • (e.g. other projects, resources, code you've written, relevant information. You may wish to include a link to your resume here to help mentors evaluate your experience level.)

• Please indicate any vacations or other time off that you may be taking or expecting to take over the course of the summer. Any time that you would not be expecting to work should be noted here, along with a reason. (e.g. "June 12-15th, travel for my sister's wedding") Google expects you to work 40h/week for the entire GSoC period, so consider how you will make up any lost time.
• Please indicate any other commitments you have that you think we should know about.

• If your sub-org requests any additional information, please don't forget to include it here!

The information requested above is generally required for us to be able to contact you and evaluate your proposal. Please feel free to add information to this template and to format it in whatever way you think will be most effective in conveying your intentions. You may wish to check with your sub-organization to see if they have any additional requirements.

We strongly recommend that you join the respective IRC channels for the sub-organizations you are applying to, and any relevant development mailing lists to the projects you are interested in working on to learn more about the community. You may wish to get your prospective mentors to read your proposals in advance so they can help you refine them.

*PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE GSoC ADMINISTRATORS ABOUT YOUR PROPOSALS* Students should be contacting the mentors and the sub-organizations about projects and proposals. It is ultimately the mentors for each project who select students, so they are your most valuable resource for what constitutes a great proposal.

Mentors are often available on IRC, as well as the respective sub-organizations mailing lists. The mailing list for each sub-org is listed here: SummerOfCode/2014. As a reciprocal courtesy students are expected to also be regularly available on IRC and/or available via e-mail and reasonably responsive to questions and requests for improvements. Students are encouraged to help other students with proposals and help answer questions in IRC or the mailing lists.

If for any reason you have not been able to find a mentor who can help you with your proposal, or you have a question that you think will be relevant to more than just your sub-organization, you can direct your questions to the soc2014-general@python.org mailing list. You should sign up here before you post: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/soc2014-general/
