Application
Preparation
This is the Timeline of Google Summer of Code.
I started to look at GSoC around mid-January. This is the time to find out interested projects. I was looking into one and then found a more suitable one for me with the help from the community.
1. Discord and Discourse
Join the Discord server.
Post on the Discourse in the Programs category.
2. Finish helloworld in GitLab
Follow the GSoC Getting Started
Learn the basic of RTEMS stack.
3. Post a tracking page in GitLab
Learn from previous year contributors. It is okay to leave some part empty and fill them later.
Write Proposal
Then it is the time to focus to understand the project, prepare the hardware, software and knowledge. During this time, keep in mind to get involved with the community. Like post your interests in Discourse and connect with the community.
This is very important. Continue to improve your proposal.
Community bonding
After selected for GSoC, connect with mentors.
