Google Summer of Code 2012 - Overview and Changes in 2021 Edition

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global initiative involving student developers in open source software projects. The program, which began in 2005, has seen significant growth with over 16,000 students from 111 countries working with 715 open source organizations. However, in the 2021 edition, there are notable changes including reduced coding time, stipends, and evaluation sessions, along with new eligibility criteria. The program continues to attract talented individuals like Qi Zeng and Callum Rollo who are contributing to projects related to oceanic and environmental sciences.
