2018 - Ten Years of Participation in the Google Summer of Code

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects. OpenStreetMap has participated almost every year for a long time, and did participate again as a mentoring organization in 2018. Through Google Summer of Code, accepted student applicants are paired with a mentor or mentors from the participating projects, thus gaining exposure to real-world software development scenarios and the opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic pursuits.

OpenStreetMap has been participating since 2008 – here’s a list of all the projects.
