Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects. The Qt Company is participating 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.
More information about the project as a whole is available on the GSoC web site.

- Produce a list of possible student projects - /Project Ideas.
- Identify the interview process for prospective students.
- Invite students to make proposals to participate in Google Summer of Code with Qt. - This is really part of the GSoC application process, but if you know a student that would be interested, please point them to this page.
