Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a program, sponsored by Google, aimed at getting students interested in open source development by paying them a stipend to work on an open source project for the summer. This presentation for GSoC 2012 is an updated mashup of the two GSoC presentations I did last year, a GSoC 2011 info session and the GSoC presentation (with Thomas Narres) at FrOSCon 2011. It explains how the program works and provides tips for students on how to submit an application.

know I'm a student so
they must know I
don't know everything
yet... So I figured I
would apply and see
how it went."
