Google Summer of Code
The Eclipse Foundation participates in Google's Summer of Code. Thank you for your interest in Eclipse. Eclipse is a great place to spend a summer learning, coding, participating and contributing. We are an exciting open source project with a vibrant community, and we look forward to your application and your project ideas.
A good way to meet those involved with the program is to participate in the soc-dev mailing list, or visit the #eclipse-soc and #eclipse IRC channels on Freenode.
The program is administered by Jelena Alter and Wayne Beaton. It's best if you use the public communication channel whenever possible; however, if you need to communicate in private, please feel free to send Jelena or Wayne a note (please use the public channels for any project-related discussion).
Current Year
Eclipse has been selected to participate in the Google Summer of Code 2013 for the eighth year in a row!
Students! We've started posting project ideas on the Google Summer of Code 2013 Ideas page.
Ongoing Projects
Every project appreciates input. We recommend that you take a look around Eclipse to see if there is anything you find particularly interesting. If you do find a project that you're interested in, take a look at their bugs to see if there are any problems that you feel you can solve.
If you're looking for a project that is particularly student-friendly, consider the following:
- Eclipse IDE for Education
- Eclipse Communication Framework (ECF) Project
- Gyrex - Equinox on Servers (Please ask/post on the forum!)
