[SoC] [OSGeo @ GSoC 2021] Call for Projects to Prepare Project Ideas Page for Google Summer of Code 2021

[Rajat Shinde]

Dear All,

Greetings!

It is the time of the year to start preparing for the OSGeo's participation
with the Google Summer of Code 2021 [1] and we need your help for the same.
With a 100% success for all the GSoC 2020 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 2021.

In order to participate in proposing ideas as a project under OSGeo
umbrella organisation, 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:

    • A title
    • A description
    • 2 Mentors' Details
    • 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 organisation application period starts Jan 30, 2021 and will be open
till Feb 20, 2021. So, we expect all the URLs by Feb 10, 2021. Here is the
complete GSoC 2021 timeline [5].

*Note:* GSoC 2021 comes with some new changes in the program. We sincerely
request to go through the announcement mentioning new changes [6].

Thanks and please forward the information to your respective projects
mailing list!

Kind regards,
Rahul and Rajat
(On behalf of the OSGeo GSoC Admins Team)
