Last year, 1,276 students worked with 206 open source organizations and over 2,000 mentors. Organizations include small and medium sized open source projects, as well as a number of umbrella organizations with many sub-projects under them (Apache Software Foundation, Python Software Foundation, etc.).
Our 2020 goal is to accept more organizations into their first GSoC than ever before! We ask that veteran organizations refer other organizations they think would be a good fit to participate in GSoC.
You can apply to be a mentoring organization for GSoC starting today. The deadline to apply is February 5 at 19:00 UTC. Organizations chosen for GSoC 2020 will be publicly announced on February 20.
Please visit the program site for more information on how to apply and review the detailed timeline of important deadlines. We also encourage you to check out the Mentor Guide and our short video on why open source projects apply to be a part of the program.
Best of luck to all of the open source mentoring organization applicants!
