This year OWASP has been selected as an official Google Summer of Code (“GSoC”) mentoring organization!
Open source software is changing the world and creating the future.
Want to help shaping it? We’re looking for students to join us in making 2013 the best Summer of Code yet!
OWASP is an open community dedicated to enabling organizations to
conceive, develop, acquire, operate, and maintain applications that can be
trusted.
All students currently enrolled in an accredited institution are welcome to
participate in the Google Summer of Code 2013 program along with the
OWASP Foundation.
What is GSoC?
The Google Summer of Code program (“GSoC”) is designed to encourage
student participation in open source development. Through GSoC, accepted
student applicants will be paired with OWASP mentors from participating
organizations.
Benefits to students include:
• Gaining exposure to real-world software development scenarios,
• An opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic
pursuits and
• Google will be offering successful student contributors a 5,000 USD
stipend, enabling them to focus on their coding projects for three
months. This program is done completely online. Students and mentors from more than 100 countries have participated in past years.

GSoC + OWASP: Call for Student Proposals
Are you a student and want to code for an OWASP project?
Here are the steps and some tips on getting started:
1) Think of a good idea – For reference see
https://www.owasp.org/index.php/GSoC2013_Ideas
2) Do some research yourself based on the idea, write up a proposal draft
3) Post it to the OWASP GSOC group
@ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/owasp-gsoc for initial discussions
with OWASP mentors.
4) Based on feedback, write a full proposal – See template below:
https://www.owasp.org/index.php/GSoC_SAT
5) Submit your proposal to Google Melange from April 22nd–May 3rd, 2013.
Students wishing to participate in GSoC must realize this is a formal
commitment to produce code for the selected OWASP Project during three
months. You will also take some resources from OWASP project leaders, who will dedicate a portion of their time to mentor you. Therefore, we'd like to have candidates who are committed to helping OWASP mission. You don't have to be a proven developer -- in fact, this whole program is meant to facilitate joining OWASP and other Open Source communities. However, experience in coding and applications are welcome.

We wish you the best of luck.
