Opportunity to serve as a mentor or project participant for Google Summer of Code

[dpsnowden]

IOOS Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2024 Announcement - Request for Project Proposals: IOOS has been accepted to the 2024 Google Summer of Code program! We have a short window of time before March 18 during which we are able to accept new student project proposals. You do not need to work for IOOS to participate as a student mentor — we’ll accept any suitable projects that involve furthering an existing open source, ocean data-related software package.

• IOOS’ list of 2024 projects,
• Prior GSOC projects — including projects completed during GSoC 2021 and 2022.

Mentoring for GSoC involves developing a student coding project of either 90, 175, or 350 hours for students to complete during summer 2024. Mentors will review code students develop, provide feedback, and help guide them towards success (and in the process contribute new functionality to your software/tools). Please reach out to IOOS leads Micah Wengren (micah.wengren@noaa.gov) @mwengren and Matt Biddle (mathew.biddle@noaa.gov) @MathewBiddle if you are interested in submitting a new project. We need any new project ideas soon (before March 18, but ideally ASAP) so that students can begin preparing their applications and discussing the projects with you.
