GSoC2021

News

• TianoCore is applying to be a mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code 2021
• The last time TianoCore participated in GSoC was in 2012, it would be good to restart our participation.
• Here is the official GSoC 2021 timeline

Students

Next Steps

• Look over our Tasks page and find one (or more) projects that sound interesting to you.
  • GSoc 2021 differs from previous years in that students projects are expected to be roughly half the work compared to prior years and spread out over a longer time period. The intention is that students will no longer work on GSoC full time for the entire summer. The stipend is also half compared to prior years.
  • Due to this change, it is recommended that students consider Tasks listed as either Easy or Medium difficulty, to ensure that they have ample time to complete the project.
• You must submit your project proposal to the TianoCore organization on the GSoC2021 page before April 13, 2021 at 19:00 UTC.
  • There is an application template below
  • The application deadline is final, so don't be late!
  • You can submit applications for more than one project if you find multiple projects interesting. Although, you can only be able to be assigned to a single project in the end.
• Please join our edk2-devel email list and start asking about the project you are interested in.
  • Let us know if you need more information!

More information

• Feel free to suggest you own project idea. It is best to discuss your idea first on edk2-devel.
• Tianocore GSoC page: TBD

Note: We primarily use the BSD License, and it is generally expected that your project will be completed utilizing this license.

Application Template

Students, please prepare a project proposal with the following information:

• Contact information (email)
• Personal description, qualifications
  • skills
  • past projects/experiences
  • any previous open source contributions
• Explain your interest in UEFI or firmware

  • high level plan
  • 1st draft timeline

This application/project proposal will need to be uploaded to the main GSoC website between March 29, 2021 - April 13, 2021. The accepted applications will be announced on May 17th.

To submit your application visit the Google Summer of Code site, and submit your application with the TianoCore project.
