Before you do anything, learn about the program and Fedora. These links may be helpful:
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/[GSoC official site]
link:index.html[Information about Fedora's Participation in GSoC]
Communicate
Begin link:https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicating_and_getting_help[communicating] with the community. Our community members can help you understand the existing project proposals. If you're going to try and propose your own project, this is a great way to understand the needs of the project and find a mentor.

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel.lists.fedoraproject.org[the development list].
Don't forget to contact mentors on projects that interest you to learn more. If you're going to propose a project you must have a mentor at the time of proposal.
Apply
Fedora is applying to be mentoring Organization. Student applications open on March 9, 2021.
The application process consists of 5 steps:
Create a FAS account https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts[FAS Account Signup / Login Page]
Join the fedora-summer-coding mailing list https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/summer-coding.lists.fedoraproject.org[Fedora Summer Coding Mailing List] - This list is fairly low volume.
Join the devel mailing list https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel.lists.fedoraproject.org[Devel Mailing List] - this list can be higher volume you may wish to use mail filters appropriately.
Sign the FPCA by following the directions https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Account_System/CompleteFPCA[here]
Submit the application/proposal including all requirements in the next section at the https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/get-started/[Google Summer of Code Site]. We strongly encourage you to not submit your final PDF until you get feedback about the proposal from your mentor(s).
Help is available! Share your application in progress and get feedback. The mentors can help verify your understanding of the project and provide guidance on whether your plan is good.
If you are submitting an original proposal you must find a mentor. Proposals without mentors will be rejected. Sharing your proposal is key to doing this. If you don't want to share your proposal publicly consider using something like a Google Doc and sharing a link with the mentor/reviewers. You can also share the link via a private ticket in our link:https://pagure.io/mentored-projects/issues[Pagure Repository]. While we would normally not suggest a close-sourced tool such as Google Docs, in this case it is potentially easier for you because you a) must have a Google account to be able to apply to the program; and b) must generate a PDF for your application.

What project are you applying to? Seriously consider choosing a project for proposal from xref:gsoc/2024/ideas.adoc[ideas list]. While it is possible to propose your own project, it is often more successful for you to select one that is already proposed by a mentor.
