Thanks, Travis, for sharing this great news here. One recent change in the GSoC program, perhaps important for the Sage project, may have been overlooked in the past.
GSoC is open not just to "students" but also to "open source beginners" -- without any age limit or any restriction regarding the career stage. (Just "professional software engineers" are excluded from the program.) https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/faq#what_are_the_eligibility_requirements_for_participation So here's our opportunity to rope in postdocs on 9-month salaries, or our faculty colleagues close to retirement who clearly need a hobby besides gardening, etc. On Wednesday, February 21, 2024 at 5:55:48 PM UTC-8 Travis Scrimshaw wrote: > Hi everyone, > SageMath has been accepted this year as a mentor organization for > Google's Summer of Code (GSoC) 2024!
