[GSOC] Should we participate in Google Summer of Code?

Hi all,

Google Summer of Code is a program by Google which founds students working on open source projects [1]. As far as I know it’s not to hard to participate as Apache project. I think this is a good way to get more people from diverse backgrounds on board. The organization registration for GSoC 2018 starts on January 4th, 2018. I think we should really be part of this, since there is a lot of work to do in PLC4X.

WDYT?

Benedikt

    Hi Benedict,
    
    I think that we could definitely do something like this, but I guess we would have to provide manageable units of functionality.
    But I think it might be a challenge to get young people to choose working on industrial protocols if they can work on the next new JavaSript framework ;-)
    
    But still I think we should give it a go. Unfortunately, I don’t have an Idea of how big/small such a unit of work should be. And I guess we would have to put it down in words somehow.
    
    Anyone here ever done such GSoC mentoring?
