[SoC] GSoC 2022: Call for potential contributors

[Ashish Kumar]

Dear All,

With the great news of OSGeo being accepted as a mentoring organization for
GSoC 2022 [1], this mail is a gentle reminder to the potential GSoC
contributors, who wish to participate as a Student for GSoC 2022.

*If you are a contributor interested in contributing to the geospatial open
source with OSGeo as an umbrella organization, then this is high time*:

   1. To go through the *OSGeo GSoC 2022 project ideas list* [2]. Make sure
   to check the list frequently, as it is being updated regularly with new
   ideas.
   2. *Contact the project mentors* via the Developers' mailing list or the
   community chat channels to discuss the project idea/ideas of your interest.
   3. Start working on the *proposal draft* and share it with the community
   as soon as possible to receive feedback and comments.

Please go through the GSoC Contributors/Students Guide [3] to get an
overall understanding of the problem. *From Google admins: "GSoC
Contributors who engage with their organization early (and often)
are more likely to be accepted and then succeed"*.

Remember to submit your proposal well in advance, so that you can make the
most out of the feedback from mentors and the community at large and refine
your proposal until the final deadline. Read the application instructions
here [4]. The same page contains all the info you need before taking
action, so please read it carefully.

Please note that the student application period starts *April 4, 2022 -
18:00 UTC* and all the student proposals must be submitted before *April
19, 2022 - 18:00 UTC*. Please don't wait for the deadline. Refer to the
GSoC Timeline [5] for more details.

We are looking forward to working with you towards another awesome edition
of GSoC! Good luck everyone!

Please forward this email to your developer and community mailing list.

Kind regards,
Your OSGeo GSoC Admins
