Welcome to the new site for BeagleBoard.org GSoC 2024 projects!
What is the mission?

We don’t want to just make more things. We want to enable individuals to make the things that dominate their lives, rather than leaving it up to someone else. Google Summer of Code with BeagleBoard.org is a great way to learn skills highly in demand while making a difference in the world.

How to build an embedded system?

An embedded system is built using a computer dedicated to a specific purpose, like a toaster, coffee machine, dish washer, thermostat or anti-lock brakes. You can think of an embedded system as a computer designed to not look like a computer and to automate things in the physical world. The BeagleBoard.org community is loaded with experts on building open source embedded systems, join our forum to connect.

What is Google Summer of Code?

Spend your summer break writing code and learning about open source development while earning money! Accepted contributors work with a mentor and become a part of the open source community. Many become lifetime open source developers! The 2024 contributor application window will be open from March 18th 2024 to April 2nd 2024! But don’t wait for then to engage! Come to our Discord and Forum to share ideas today.

This section includes guides for contributors & mentors who want to participate in GSoC 2024 with BeagleBoard.org. It’s highly recommended to check GSoC Frequently Asked Questions. For anyone who just want to contribute to this site we also have a step by step contribution guide.

Contributor Guide

If you want to increase your chances of being accepted into (and succeed during) Google Summer of Code, we strongly encourage you to read this guide! It is particularly helpful for tips on writing a good project proposal and how potential contributors should interact with the communities they are interested in working with during the program.

If you want to mentor for GSoC this year, read this short guide made for mentors wondering where to help.

Proposal Guide

To create an proposal on gsoc.beagleboard.io, we have provided a reStructuredText template. The tamplate can be used to create a live HTML version of the proposal as well as generate a PDF version for GSoC submission.

Site Editing Guide

For anyone who is looking to make changes to the gsoc.beagleboard.io site, you can checkout our site editing guide. We have provided information on how to use OpenBeagle’s integrated Web IDE for editing, CI for building and pages for serving the rendered content.
