It's time to start thinking about Google Summer of Code 2022! Info about what Google Summer of Code is: https://community.apache.org/gsoc.html
ASF gets accepted for GSoC every year as an umbrella organization and will have a limited number of slots to allocate among Apache projects. To participate in GSoC, Traffic Control will need to - Submit at least 1 proposal - Get ATC community members to volunteer to mentor these proposals. As an example from last year, GSoC 2021 requested that each project provide 2 mentors for each selected proposal If you are interested in being a mentor, see this page <https://community.apache.org/guide-to-being-a-mentor.html> and subscribe to [email protected]. Any contributor who participates in Google Summer of Code 2022 for an ATC proposal will get a stipend for participation, which varies in amount by where the student lives <https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/student-stipends>. This part is funded entirely by Google.
