GSOC ideas structure

Introduction

This is the list of ideas for students wishing to apply for Google Summer of Code 2019. For more information on how to apply, see the GSoC 2019 Student Instructions. This list is here for inspiration and to give students an idea of what directions may be good for LSF.

If you want to pursue an idea listed here, you should contact us on our mailing list and discuss it.

The list is organized as follows:

Priority Projects

Projects that are considered important in our roadmap.

Research & Development Projects

Proposed innovative solutions

Collaborative Projects

As a Umbrella foundation, We are warmly welcome opensource organizations to make collaborative projects with us.

Ideas Prompts

Come up with your own idea.

The order of ideas in this list has no bearing to the chances of an idea to be accepted. All of them are equally good and your chances depend on the quality of your application. Also do not worry if there are no mentors assigned to a given idea. If the application is good, we will find a mentor. As already said, you can very well submit your own idea not listed here.

Submitting Your Own Idea

You can apply with something completely different if you like. The best project for you is one you are interested in, and are knowledgeable about. That way, you will be the most successful in your project and have the most fun doing it, while we will be the most confident in your commitment and your ability to complete it.

If you do want to suggest your own idea, please discuss it with us first, so we can determine if it is already been implemented, if it is enough work to constitute a summer's worth of coding, if it is not too much work, and if it is within the scope of our project.
