Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source projects.

What are the goals of this program?

Get more open source code created and released for the benefit of all; Inspire young developers to begin participating in open source development; Help open source projects identify and bring in new developers and committers; Provide students in Computer Science and related fields the opportunity to do work related to their academic pursuits (think "flip bits, not burgers"); Give students more exposure to real-world software development scenarios (e.g., distributed development, software licensing questions, mailing-list etiquette).

Is Google Summer of Code a recruiting program? Not really. To be clear, Google will use the results of the program to help identify potential recruits. Several of our past student participants said that their participation in GSoC made them more attractive to potential employers, and most participants who have gained employment as a result of their GSoC work are not currently employed by Google.

Code

Who owns the code produced by student developers? Each student (or her/his mentoring organization) must license all student GSoC code under a license palatable to the mentoring organization. Some organizations will require students to assign copyright to them, but many will allow them to retain copyright. If Google is a student's sponsoring organization, then the student keeps copyright to her/his code.

Student stipends Google will provide a stipend of 5000 USD per accepted student developer, of which 4500 USD goes to the student and 500 USD goes to the mentoring organization. Accepted students in good standing with their mentoring organization will receive a 500 USD stipend shortly after coding begins on May 26, 2008. Students who receive passing mid-term evaluations will receive a 2000 USD stipend shortly after the mid-term evaluation deadline, July 14, 2008. Students who receive passing final evaluations and who have submitted their final program evaluations will receive a 2000 USD stipend and mentoring organizations will receive 500 USD shortly after the final evaluation deadline, September 1, 2008.

What language(s) should a student program in? Talk with your mentoring organization about this and other technical style questions. Of course, the Python people will prefer Python submissions, and so on. Students should let us know in their applications what languages they're thinking about using.
