Google Summer Of Code

Google's Summer Of Code (GSoC) is a global, online program focused on bringing new contributors into open source software development.

This page here is the main entry point to the Tcl Community's pages organizing its participation in the program, from our applications to the program as organization, to the various pages with project ideas. The communities liaison to Google is the Tcl Association.

The application process for mentoring organizations is open, deadline is Feb 21 [L1 ].
