Google Summer of Code 2016 statistics: Part one

Monday, May 23, 2016

Google Summer of Code
We share statistics from Google Summer of Code (GSoC) every year — now that 2016 is chugging along we’ve got some exciting numbers to share! 1,206 students from all over the globe are currently in the community bonding period, a time where participants learn more about the organization they will be contributing to before coding officially begins on May 23. This includes becoming familiar with the community practices and processes, setting up a development environment, or contributing small (or large) patches and bug fixes.

We’ll start our statistics reporting this year with the total number of students participating from each country:

We’d like to welcome a new country to the GSoC family. 2016 brings us one student from Albania!

In our upcoming statistics posts, we will delve deeper into the numbers by looking at  universities with the most accepted students, gender numbers, mentor countries and more. If you have additional statistics that you would like us to share, please leave a comment below and we will consider including them in an upcoming post.

Correction: A previous version of this blog post erroneously reported the total number of students as 1,202 and the number of students from Cameroon as 1. This has been updated to reflect the actual totals as 1,206 and 16 respectively.
