Google Summer of Code 2021 is open for mentor organization applications

Google Open Source is seeking applications from open source projects and organizations interested in becoming a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code (GSoC). "GSoC is a global program that draws student developers (18 years old and over) from around the world to contribute to open source projects. This year, from June 7th to August 16th, each student will spend 10 weeks working on a coding project with the support of volunteer mentors from participating open source organizations." Applications to be a mentoring organization for GSoC must be received by February 19.
