Dear All,

Greetings!

It is the time of the year to start preparing for the OSGeo's participation
[0] with the Google Summer of Code 2022 [1] and we need your help for the
same. With a 100% success for all the GSoC 2021 student projects [2], we
are highly excited and motivated to invite the OSGeo projects (Projects,
Incubation projects, Guest Projects) to begin compiling the project ideas
for GSoC 2022.

In order to participate in proposing ideas as a project under OSGeo
umbrella organization, you just need to send us (admins:  <gsoc-admin at
osgeo dot org>) the URL for your project's GSoC ideas Wiki page. If you are
participating for the first time, then you may visit [3] [4] for reference.


*Please remember that every idea should indicate:*

   1. A title
   2. Brief descriptions of projects that can be completed in ~175 hours or
   ~350 hours of your GSoC contributor’s time (and labeled appropriately)
   3. 3 Mentors' Details (Primary and Supporting mentors)
   4. For each project, a list of prerequisites, description of programming
   skills needed and estimation of difficulty level
   5. A test for the students to submit to your evaluation. The test aims
   at evaluating if the student is capable for the project, so please design
   the test having in mind the basic skills required to complete the project.

The organization application period starts *Feb 7, 2022* and will be open
till *Feb 21, 2022*. So, we expect all the URLs by *Feb 10, 2022* (~10 days
from now). Here is the complete GSoC 2021 timeline [5].

*Note*: GSoC 2022 comes with some new changes in the program. We sincerely
request to go through the announcement mentioning new changes [0][6].

Thanks and please forward the information to your respective projects
mailing list! Always waiting for further queries. :)

(PS- A call for contributors to the OSGeo project ideas with instructions
on interacting with projects is already sent, so please be ready for
welcoming new members to the community.)

Stay Safe!
Kind regards,
OSGeo GSoC Administration Team
