Google Summer of Code 2023 - Call for Project Ideas and Mentors

[benjagm]

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global, online mentoring program focused on introducing students and new contributors to open source software development. GSoC contributors work on a 10-22 weeks programming project with the guidance of mentors from their open source organization. During GSoC, participating contributors are paired with mentors from open source organizations, gaining exposure to real-world software development techniques.

We are looking for project ideas and mentors for JSON Schema to participate in GSoC 2023. GSoC project ideas are coding projects that potential GSoC contributors can accomplish in about 10-22 weeks. The coding projects can be new features, validators, generators, tooling, frontend enhancements etc. Anyone can submit a project idea, but of course we like it even better if you mentor your project idea.

Please send us your project ideas before February 6th so they can get a proper review in the next Open Community Weekly Meeting the next 2022-02-06 at 14:00 PT.
