Query about project ideas #472

|
From this kubernetes/community doc, I got to know that Kubernetes is participating in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) this year as well. Here, they mention:
But to my understanding, the project ideas are yet to be submitted and finalized by the prospective mentors. So does it mean that we (prospective contributors) get to ideate/brainstorm over different project ideas as well? Or, do we have to wait till prospective mentors submit their ideas, and only then do we get to work on those ideas? |

I am also a newbie in open source i think they meant like after the actual project ideas are released [Feb14] and the time mentee applications starts[April 1- April 19],one has about 2 months to contribute in that particular project which is applying for gsoc. |

The window for CNCF Project Applications has just opened. Once the projects have submitted their ideas, we'll submit them to GSoC as a group. As for ideating and brainstorming, please feel free to make comments on the PRs as they come in, or if you're involved in a project, bring up mentorship ideas with the maintainers. |

The Google Summer of Code 2022 & CNCF discussion thread may be helpful now too. |

I don't think there are any templates for proposals to the CNCF orgs, but the GSoC Contributor/Student Guide has a section on writing proposals. |

Right now I'd suggest discussing application ideas with project mentors. On April 4 the GSoC contributor application period begins, and those applications are due on April 19.
CNCF is accepted as an org, but project ideas are not confirmed till after slots are requested. These slots are requested based on the GSoC contributor applications. Here's the Google Summer of Code 2022 Timeline |
