Title
Proposals welcome!
Your title should be short, clear and interesting. The job of the title is to convince the reviewer to read your synopsis. Do not put your name in the title.
Synopsis
We welcome proposals from contributors. Please first browse our list of project ideas that you may base your proposal on. To submit proposals, follow these instructions. Start your proposal with a short summary, designed to convince the reviewer to read the rest of the proposal. Note that we expect the same content as for the Proposal Summary entry in your proposal submission form (to be updated to 2023). (150-200 words)
Benefits to Community
Make your case for a benefit to the organization, not just to yourself. Why would Google and SAT be proud to sponsor this work? How would open source or society as a whole benefit? What cool things would be demonstrated? (150-200 words)
Deliverables
Include a brief, clear work breakdown structure with milestones and deadlines. Make sure to label deliverables as optional or required. You may want your plan to start by producing some kind of technical paper, or planning the project in traditional Software Engineering style. It’s OK to include thinking time (“investigation”) in your work schedule. Deliverables should include investigation, coding and documentation. (max 1000 words)
Related Work
You should understand and communicate other people’s work that may be related to your own. Do your research, and make sure you understand how the project you are proposing fits into the target organization. Be sure to explain how the proposed work is different from similar related work. (max 1000 words)
Biographical Information
Keep your personal info brief. Be sure to communicate personal experiences and skills that might be relevant to the project. Summarize your education, work, and open source experience. List your skills and give evidence of your qualifications. Convince your organization that you can do the work. Any published work, successful open source projects and the like should definitely be mentioned. (max 200 words)
Skills
Copy the list of required/preferred skills from the project idea and paste it below. For each skill, illustrate with your past experience how you are the best fit for your proposal. The ideal proofs are factual: a short summary of selections from your past contributions, ideally with hyperlinks when applicable (including but not restricted to: source code repositories, pages from portfolio), with a clarification of your role and an explanation how these support the skills involved in your GSoC proposal.
