Description about Codeuino's Involvement in the GSOC'20

Google-Summer-Of-Code-2020

Welcome to the Google Summer of Code 2020

Google Summer of Code is a global program which encourages university students aged 18 or over to participate with open source projects during their summer vacations from schools and gain exposure to real-world software development scenarios and the opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic pursuits by drilling up their skills.

Google awards stipends, to all successful students who complete their free and open-source projects under Codeuino. Alongside Codeuino community members volunteer as "mentors" to students, who assist them about their summer projects and succeed their projects in an expected way.

To learn more about this year's event and how GSoC works, please refer to the Frequently Asked Question (FAQ).

We are glad to apply to Google Summer of Code 2020 as a mentoring organisation, accepted organizations will be announced on February 20. In the meanwhile feel free to move around and connect with the community.

We have many project ideas posted, and we welcome potential students and mentors to reach out to us for further involvement.

About Codeuino

Codeuino is a volunteer-driven open source Social networking organisation that provides various robust frameworks solutions which could span the entire world through building all kinds of social environments, discussion portals and collaboration platforms, giving prospectus to various other organisations, users and outreachers to use social media in a custom way.

DONUT is a major project of Codeuino that builds social networking Kit for various organisations to build up social environment (like Facebook,Twitter,etc) for their organisation as well as for users to experience FOSS social environment and to showcase their productivity and services for their community along with the collaboration platform to interact with one another. This project stands similar to "Facebook", "Twitter" like social medias.

The community is a group of young open source contributors creatively leveraging our expertise in social networking and development projects to improve the quality of outreaching, interaction and collaboration for the people in developing nations. Everyone at Codeuino contributes to increase efficiency, outreaching for the user and expedite idea generation for social networking.

If you are looking for a project which incorporates structured data and social networking medias then check out our project ideas page we had in 2019 and contact us though any communication channel described here.

Involving as a Mentor

Potential mentors are invited to assign themselves on the projects they want to mentor this summer under Codeuino community.

Mentoring takes about 5 to 6 hours of work per week (more at the start, less at the end). In return, a student works on your project full time for 3 months. Think about the projects that you’ve always wanted to do but could not find the time.

Consider proposing your own ideas that match the community project style.

Make sure you get through the followings:

Expectations from a mentor

  2. Commit to being present in SLACK to help answer questions as much as your schedule allows, at a minimum of 4 hours each week.
  3. Prepare a good overview of your project idea(s)
  4. Review student proposals and work with other mentors and organization admins to select the best candidates for Codeuino.
  5. Ensure your Student is Active. They should have a good community involvement and good discussions. Should be answerable wherever they are tagged.
