Gentoo has been accepted for its 5th consecutive year in the Google Summer of Code! GSoC pays college students $5000 to work full-time on an open-source project for a summer. Check out our GSoC 2010 homepage if you are interested in this year's GSoC for Gentoo. We particularly encourage applications from students who aren't already involved in Gentoo development—many of our students become Gentoo developers after a successful summer.

Interested students can browse Gentoo's project ideas. Student applications will be accepted starting March 29.

Developers, if you'd like to apply to be a mentor, you can do so on the webapp. Please read the mentoring guide before applying.
