ISCAS and openEuler are launching an alternative to Google Summer of Code

[Guilherme]

Hello KDE Community,

The Institute of Software Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISCAS)and the 
openEuler Linux distribution are launching their own alternative to 
Google's Summer of Code initiative.

Accoding to Phoronix, they're "providing university-aged students around 
the world funding by the Institute of Software Chinese Academy of 
Sciences to work on community open-source projects." and the "Mentors 
will also be paid for their time."

The deadline for communities to apply is May 20th. More details can be 
seen here <https://summer.iscas.ac.cn/help/en/community/> (community 
guidelines), here <https://summer.iscas.ac.cn/help/en/mentor/> (for 
Mentors) and here <https://summer.iscas.ac.cn/help/en/> (FAQ).

There's also more info on Phoronix

I don't have time or the expertise to contributewith this initiative, 
but I think this is something the KDE Community could keep an eye on, as 
it could help with the development of KDE software just like Google 
Summer of Code does.

Thanks for reading.
