*Note:* You must submit a PDF version of all of the information you
prepare with your application using the Google site. The PDF should
consist of the information from the supplemental application
requirements section below. It should also contain any custom project
you are proposing, if any.
We are not allowed to consider students who do not submit this PDF. Students will not be judged on the visual layout of their PDF, however all information must be readable. It is acceptable for you to submit PDF printouts from the wiki.
Supplemental Application Materials on the Fedora Project Wiki
Chose a project for proposal from xref:ideas.adoc[Summer_coding_ideas_for_2017]. While it is possible to propose your own project, it is often more successful for you to select one that is already proposed by a mentor.
Create a new wiki page to hold your application. The url should look like
link:https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GSOC_2017/Student_Application_Yourusername[`https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GSOC_2017/Student_Application_Yourusername`], replacing `Yourusername` with your actual link:https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Account_System[Fedora Account System] username.
You should include the information that is relevant to the project your are selecting or proposing as well as information about you, your background, etc. The following format provides some guidance:
Contact Information
List your Name, Email Address, Blog URL, and any additional contact information you think we need. We tend to email so be sure you're reading your email.
About You - Consider these questions
Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora Project or another open-source project as a contributor? What kind of contributions have you made (code and non-code)? Please share any public contributions you have made (urls, etc.)
What are you studying? Why?
What motivates you to do your best? How do you stay focused? Briefly describe how you organize your work.
Why Us? - Consider these questions
Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
Do you plan to continue contributing to the Fedora Project after GSoC? If yes, what sub-project(s) are you interested with?
Why This Project? - Consider these questions
Which specific project interests you? If you are proposing your own project, do it here. If you are proposing the project, explain why it benefits the community.
Have you contacted the mentor(s) listed for the project?
What relevant experience do you have for this project?
What do you want to gain from this project?
Describe this project in your own words. What does it mean to you? What do you think the final deliverable is?
Why should we choose you over other applicants?
Propose a rough schedule for this project. Ideally you will have regular deliverables throughout the entire period.
What are you specific plans from May to September (eg: Exams in university, internships, vacations..etc). We need to know if there are periods of time where you are likely to be unavailable. We are better at accommodating these periods if we know of them in advance.
