GSoC 2017 Idea List

(OCF is applying for GSoC 2017 host organization as an umbrella organization.  Communities that work with OCF are welcome to add project ideas to this list)

About applying for SoC with OCF

(from the git project’s GSoC application guide:)

• A complete GSoC application should include a presentation of yourself (include any argument that may convince mentors that you are able to complete the project) and detailed explanations about your project. Ideas below are just … ideas! The list is not exhaustive, and more importantly each idea only includes a summary of what is to be done. An application must include detailed plans on the design, timeline … A typical application takes several pages. You should already have read the GSoC Student Guide by now, but re-read it if needed.
