DISCLAIMERS:

  • We won't consider any application from a student that hasn't been contacted by a mentor.
  • Projects without a detailed schedule won't be considered. 📆
  • The GSoC is a full-time internship; do not expect being contacted or if you are already working.
  • A Project failure is not an option; we won't take that risk.
  • The final application is on the GSoC site; otherwise your are out.
  • Do not open useless pull requests to increase your git history; we know how to detect fake profiles.
  • Pre-selected students might expect a screen interview.
  • Google pays to the student; not kornia.org.
  • If you are not notified by Google; you are not in.
  • Read the GSoC student GUIDELINES & FAQ

How do I pass the GSoC evaluations?

The program duration is ~2months; we will be flexible but there are some major RULES.

‼️ To PASS the mid-term and final evaluations you MUST have a MERGED pull-request ➡️ you'll get your cut 😎

  • Google pays you IF ONLY IF you pass the evaluations :godmode:
  • The mentors will evaluate you based on the performance during the project.
