See Google’s GSoC FAQ for precise details. – We select the applications we like the best. – We provide a mentor. The mentor is there to advise on implementation choices, making sure the student has the information they need. – We, particularly the mentor, evaluate the work and confirm to Google that the student has done the work satisfactorily, which is the basis on which Google pays the student. – We help as best we can via our developers’ mailing list.
