<p dir="ltr">Hello Community<br>
<br>
I would like a small summary about the difference between last year and this year:<br>
<br>
What are the changes for 2021 from 2020?</p>
<ol>
<li><b style="font-size:large">Smaller project size</b><b style="font-size:large"> -
</b><font size="3">all students participating in the 2021 program will be working on a <span style="text-decoration-line:underline">175 hour project </span>(instead of a 350 hr project).
<br>
Reasoning from GSoC administrators:<br>
</font></li></ol>
<ul>
<li>Currently we are missing out on many wonderful students who could never commit to such a huge project and time commitment but would be great contributors to your community. This is a significant change as we now are no longer strongly encouraging students
to focus only on GSoC over their summer. Students have many other responsibilities especially during the pandemic that make it hard for them to spend 30 hours a week on a project. </li><li><font size="2">We realize this is going to require all of you to think about smaller projects and update your project ideas.</font></li></ul>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><b><font size="4">2 evaluations (instead of 3)</font></b> - There will be an evaluation after 5 weeks and the final evaluation will take place after the 10th week. We are also no longer requiring students complete their first evaluation (though
we encourage them to do so), so if a student doesn’t complete the first evaluation they will not automatically be removed from the program. They are still required to complete the final evaluation.</p>
</li><li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><b><font size="4">Eligibility requirements</font></b> - In 2020 there are many ways students are learning and we want to acknowledge that so we will be allowing students who are 18 years old AND currently enrolled (or accepted into) a post-secondary
academic program as of May 17, 2021 or have graduated from a post-secondary academic program between December 1, 2020 and May 17, 2021 to apply to the GSoC program.</p>
</li></ol>
<ul>
<li>What this means is that now the program will be open to folks participating in a variety of different academic programs, not just accredited university programs. This includes licensed coding camps, community colleges, and many other programs that may not
be accredited yet but are post-secondary academic programs. <br>
</li></ul>
