🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

We're happy to announce we're accepting 9 students through Google Summer of Code this season. This is almost double last year's 5 slots, and reflects big, positive changes in our community this past year.Update: we also just learned that we are working with a team of two through Rails Girls Summer of Code!

(I've cross-posted this here)

We've seen a dramatic rise in newcomers over the past year (read more here and follow #software-outreach), and over a dozen contributors emerged as community leaders, not only championing larger and more complex projects, but also welcoming in and supporting newcomers to grow our community. Many of this year's students are in this group.

Congratulations and thanks: @MaggPi, @Gauravano @namangupta @Vidit @tech4GT @mridulnagpal @bansal_sidharth2996 @sagarpreet @Souravirus

We'd also like to thank those who have made it possible, through their supportive mentoring, for our community to see such successes -- including those who help (beyond coding) to shape the course of our software projects by proposing new features, and those who help to set the positive, welcoming tone that makes our project one which people want to join.

Congratulations to our 9 summer projects, and thanks also to those whose projects weren't selected. We wish we could work with all of you, and we deeply appreciate what you contribute.

WoW! Thanks Public Lab (and Google) for the opportunity!! What's the best way for the student to connect with the mentor?

Is this a question? Click here to post it to the Questions page.

Hi Everyone, I've mentioned you in the note i just posted about our Community Bonding Call tomorrow: https://publiclab.org/notes/liz/05-07-2018/all-summer-of-code-convening-live-call -- please join!

Hi, all - just checking in with the 4 points I made during the call (some will be repetitive, sorry!):

  1. Create planning issues -- with a checklist! -- from your proposals -- read more here to help coordinate your work with others
  2. Try creating a first-timers-only issue from one of your checklist items -- learn more here -- to bring other people into your project, and slowly build a team over the course of the summer
  3. Use CodeClimate to find suggestions on how to make your code more readable and maintainable
  4. Talk to each other! Don't get stuck - ask for help; we're all here to help each other out. Use the chatroom, post an issue, and also remember to offer help (like reviewing PRs, troubleshooting) to each other and to newcomers.

It was great seeing you all -- thanks and get ready for a great summer!
