GSoC Student Application Template
This document outlines the information that we expect students that apply for GSoC to provide and is also the template that Google will ask you to use.
Just to be clear:
- You will have to apply through Google system using this template
- It is good practice to discuss and work with the Mentor before making an application
- You can use the questions in this template to inform the discussion, before the application period starts.
The Template
Thanks for submitting your proposal! We're keen to hear a little more from you about your own thoughts and plans about this project. Here are some questions that would help us to understand your position a little better.
Of course, we'd like to help you if you're stuck on answering any of these questions or would like more advice. Feel free to post questions about your proposal on the mailing list or chat to us in the IRC channel. We're looking forward to hearing from you.
1) Personal Information
1.1) Full Name:
1.2) Email:
1.3) Other contact information (Optional): <add IRC handle, skype, whatever you like here>
1.4) Other applications: have you applied to or do you plan to apply to other Google Summer of Code projects for other organizations?
1.5) Previous experience: have you been part of the Google Summer of Code in the past or OPW in the past? (if so, link to your work)
1.6) Patches and communication: we suggested to contact your mentor prior to application, and maybe write a little patch related, review some code related to your favourite project. If you have done so, add any links to communications on mailing lists, patches, etc. here.
1.7) Time commitment: we'd also like to know whether you're planning to work full-time on the project, or do you have other commitments (e.g. full/part time jobs, summer classes) during the summer? (It's no problem either way, but useful for us to know)
2) Implementation Plan
2.1) Project for which you are applying (Xen or XCP):
2.2) Title for your proposal (for example "Virtio on Xen"):
2.3)Problem Description (Provide a high-level overview textual description of the problem in 2-3 paragraphs):
2.4) Implementation Plan (Provide as much detail and organization as you can. Discuss with the appropriate interested developers in the Xen.org development community) :
2.5) Expected Deliverables: (list the main items that you will deliver bduring the program)
2.6) Timeline (Be specific and as complete as you can. Discuss feasibility with relevant Xen.org developers):
2.7) Maintenance: How much maintenance do you think the code you write is likely to require? Would you like to be involved in that maintenance after the project finishes? (Again, no worries if that won't be possible.)
3) Let us know how much help you need
3.1 Describe experience with Xen/XCP (as appropriate):
3.2) Other experience: describe relevant experience that you have (If possible, describe what uniquely qualifies you for this proposal):
3.3) Learning and support: describe the part(s) of the proposed plan do you expect to be most difficult ( Include the specific types of of mentor help you think you will need for the part(s):
