Google Summer of Code
The Eclipse Foundation participates in Google's Summer of Code. Thank you for your interest in open source software development at the Eclipse Foundation. The Eclipse community 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 the Eclipse Management Organization. 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 a note (please use the public channels for any project-related discussion).

Current Year
The Eclipse Foundation has applied to be a mentoring organisation for Google Summer of Code 2019!
Students
You'll find a ideas page for the program here.
Or you can look through our "helpwanted" bugs. There are a lot of potential projects in there. Have a look.
Feel free to make your own suggestions.
Sign up for the soc-dev list to connect with our mentors and other members of the Eclipse GSoC community.
Mentors
Google's process requires that you be invited by the mentoring organization. Basically, the admins need to invite you to be a mentor. Anybody who is a committer on an open source project hosted by the Eclipse Foundation can be a mentor. Please send emo@eclipse.org a note with your name, the email address for your Google account, and the names of the projects for which you have committer status, and we'll set up an invitation. Non committers may be mentors, only if they have a project lead who can vouch for them. Project leads should expect to be asked why the individual is not a committer.
Add your ideas to the Google Summer of Code 2019 Ideas page. Mark bugs you care about with the "helpwanted" keyword.
Sign up for the soc-dev list to connect with students and other members of the Eclipse GSoC community.
Please keep in mind that--for this to work--you will be required to invest some time looking at student proposals for projects that you might not necessarily have a direct interested in. We still value your input on these proposals.
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 Code Recommenders
- Eclipse Communication Framework (ECF) Project
- Eclipse platform - Eclipse Platform project
- Andmore - Android tooling for Eclipse.
- GeoTrellis - Big Data geoprocessing framework built on Scala & Spark.
