Summer of Code: Student applications possible


Category:Summer of Code 
Posted by: eoc

Heya,
I figured to write this entry since the application period opens in some minutes.

When submitting your application, please include links to the wiki page where you introduce yourself and, if you managed to create it, a link to your proposal page. We will lock both after the application deadline April 8th to ensure equal opportunities, so please prepare them early. No deadline extension will be granted, not even if occurring errors are our fault.

The application should furthermore contain any additional documents you want to share non-publicly and preferably your filled private template. Since sharing ideas is fundamental to Open Source, we reserve the right to downvote your application if you did not include them in your public template. You will of course still get better votes than with no additional information at all ;-)

So let's again mention the important part: Even if you submit your application early (at Google), you can still improve it (in our wiki and at Google) until the deadline. Our rating team can also hint you at possible flaws then. If you do not submit it in time, no high-quality wiki page can help you.

We are still discussing the exact procedure after the deadline, but it will likely include a (short) interview on IRC and a test commit to our github repository. Rating is done by all interested team members and your mentors.

See you on IRC and melange,
your team of Unknown Horizons
