What is it?
Google Summer of Code is a project that sponsors university students to improve open source projects. Plone has been a participant for the last two years; we've had 11 students in that time. Students are assigned mentors who help them get to grips with the code base and the community, but they dedicate a lot of time to pure Plone work – it's an invaluable opportunity for both the students and the community.
Helping out
We need your help! First, sign up to this team! For the submission of our application (which needs to be done before 12th March) we need a list of project ideas and a mentoring team. If you're thinking of applying to be a mentor, read this handy guide first.
