                            <p>
                                Google Summer of Code is a global program that pairs contributors
                                with open source software projects. Over the summer, contributors
                                gain real-world experience contributing to software development and
                                working with mentors, while participating organizations grow their
                                communities and codebases.

                                After reviewing the project ideas and getting started guidance, reach out
                                in Slack. Contact the project mentor(s) if you have questions about a
                                specific project idea.

                                If multiple mentors are listed, create a thread with all mentors. This
                                helps us give more efficient and consistent feedback.

                                Becoming part of the community before submitting a proposal is important.
                                Proposals submitted at the last minute, without prior engagement with the
                                project or mentors, are much less likely to be competitive.

                                Once you have gotten acquainted with the project and discussed your
                                interests with potential mentors, you can begin drafting your proposal.
                                A strong proposal should include a realistic timeline, clear milestones,
                                and concrete deliverables.
