Good day,
What qualifications do I need to apply as a mentee for the GSoC.
Thanks

Hi Python community folk!
As we've done for the past many years, Python is hoping to participate
in Google Summer of Code.? This is a neat program where students write
code over the (northern hemisphere) summer under the tutelage of open
source mentors and get paid: we provide the project ideas, mentors and
choose the students, Google provides the program framework and the money
to pay students.? You can read more about GSoC here:
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/
Python participates as an "umbrella org" where many different smaller
projects ("sub orgs") that use Python can take part under our banner.?
You can also participate separately, but for people who've never done it
before and want help or for whom the paperwork is a hassle, you're
welcome to join up with us and let us show you the ropes!
It's really fun, and we've gotten lots of new contributors to
Python-based projects over the years, taking in as many as 70+ students
in a single year.? Last year we only had 15, though, so we've got lots
of space for new mentors and new projects.
We need a good set of sub-orgs and ideas by Feb 4th for our application,
and if we're accepted by Google we'll be able to add a few more ideas
and groups until March 5th or so.
Sound intriguing?? You can read all about what we're doing at
http://python-gsoc.org/ (which has answers to questions like "what does
it take to be a mentor?" and "what does it take to be a sub-org?")
You can also send questions to gsoc-admins(a)python.org (or just hit reply
to this email!)

********************************************
At the last General Assembly of the EuroPython Society (EPS) at
EuroPython 2018 in Edinburgh, we voted on a new grant program we want
to put in place for future EuroPython conferences.
We all love Python and this is one of the main reasons we are putting
on EuroPython year after year, serving the "cast of thousands" which
support Python. But we also believe it is important to give something
back to the main team of developers who have contributed lots of their
time and energy to make Python happen: the Python Core Developers.
This group is small, works countless hours, often in their free time
and often close to burnout due to not enough new core developers
joining the team.
Free Tickets for Python Core Developers
---------------------------------------
To help with growing the team, putting it more into the spotlight and
give them a place to meet, demonstrate their work and a stage to
invite new developers, we decided to give Python Core Developers free
entry to future EuroPython conferences, starting with EuroPython 2019
in Basel, Switzerland
In recognition of Guido’s almost 20 years of leading this team, and
with his permission, we have named the grant “Guido van Rossum Core
Developer Grant”.
Details of the grant program are available on our core grant page:
https://www.europython-society.org/core-grant
PS: If you are a core developer and want to organize a workshop,
language summit or similar event at EuroPython 2019, please get in
touch with our program workgroup (program(a)europython.eu) soon, so that
we can arrange rooms, slots, etc.
PPS: If you want to become a core developer, please have a look at the
Python Dev Guide:
https://devguide.python.org/coredev/

networks as widely as possible. Thank you !
