[GSoC] Google Summer of Code 2021: Organization Applications Open

[Ahmet Sait]

Hi everyone!

It's that time of the year again. Google announced that mentoring 
organizations can now apply for summer of code in their blog:
https://opensource.googleblog.com/2021/01/google-summer-of-code-2021-is-open-for-applications.html
And in the mailing list:
https://groups.google.com/g/google-summer-of-code-discuss/c/KB8efMmLfhA

Application period ends on February 19. You can view the timeline 
here:
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/how-it-works/#timeline

 From the official website (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com):
> Google Summer of Code is a global program focused on bringing 
> more student developers into open source software development. 
> Students work with an open source organization on a 10 week 
> programming project during their break from school.

A good application requires a well prepared ideas list as 
outlined in the mailing list:
> Having a thorough and well thought out list of Project Ideas is 
> the most important part of your application.
