Any "group" or organization can submit a project to GSoC as long as there are 2+ committers and there are existing releases under an OSI license (which includes EPL). The organization select projects, connects mentors to students, prods people about evaluations, and receives $500/completed student. Students submit proposals (usually these should happen under consultation with the project) and are directly paid stipends by Google for completed projects. I think the organization application is usually open in January.
I think there are several groups in the Clojure ecosystem that would potentially be great orgs for this - CIDER, ClojureBridge, clj-commons, etc. On Tuesday, December 3, 2019 at 5:23:43 AM UTC-6, Ag Ibragimov wrote: > > > Would you do it Daniel, would you apply?
