In other words - sell yourselves, as if this was an actual job.</p> <p>In drawing up your proposal you should work with your chosen projects community.</p> <p>One of our evaluation criteria is that you have already engaged with the community to ensure that you understand the needs of the project and the commitment you need to make to your mentors.</p> <p>Once open applications are made through the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321011553/https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/">GSoC site</a></p> <h3 id="application-template">Application template</h3> <p><em>This is just a suggested template, feel free to add and remove sections as appropriate.
