Google Summer of Code at 52°North

Google Summer of Code, shorter but informally also called GSoC, is a program that offers student developers stipends to write code for open source projects. 52°North participates in the program as a mentoring organisation with project ideas from all communities to connect with prospective developers of our Open Source software from all over the world and to advance promising software products with new features.
