Hello all, This is a reminder that the *deadline *to apply for Google Summer of Code 2016 with Wikimedia Foundation falls in *< 24 hours* at Friday, *March 25* at 19:00 UTC. Please make sure that you have your *pdf *copy of proposal in the application system at g.co/gsoc well before, to avoid last minute confusions.
Past the deadline, applicants can do *minor* edits to their proposal copy in Phabricator, which should be limited to wording/style changes. All proposals submitted in the application system should have its copy in Phabricator as Life_of_a_successful_project#Submitting_your_proposal <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_programs/Life_of_a_successful_project#Submitting_your_proposal>, and should have minimum *2 mentors *connected with it. Make sure you have a link to your Phabricator task somewhere in the proposal, to make things easy. We will be sending a separate notification to all proposals submitted on the same, and get ready for more emails! Project mentors and co-mentors are required to get connected with the application system via *invites*, and you can add your name to the description at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128441 or comment, for the same. We will be starting separate Conpherence for that, either-way.
