[Geo4All] [GSoC] Students application deadline is approaching

[Margherita Di Leo]

Hi all,

I'd like to remind potential students that the application period will end
Apr 9, see timeline [1].
The earlier you submit your proposal, the more chances you have to refine
it according to mentors/community feedback, hence the more chances to be
successful. See also [2].

Usually, last minute submissions result into failure, *it is time to submit
your proposals already*.
We privilege quality over quantity, so please, spend time to write a good
proposal, *submit it in draft mode* and flesh it with the comments,
clarifications and requests from mentors before the deadline.

For your convenience, this year you can download the template from github
[3]. It is not mandatory to use github to fill the proposal, but *using the
template is mandatory*.
For more tips on how to write a proposal, see [4], and have a look at [5]
too.

Good luck everyone!

Kind regards,
