Hi all,
Institute of Software Chinese Academy of Sciences[1] (ISCAS) and openEuler community are jointly organizing Summer 2021 of Open Source Promotion Plan (OSPP). This project[3] is very similar to Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and Outreachy[4].
OSPP opens to all projects with OSI-approved licenses, and worldwide students. When students finish their projects, both students and mentors will be paid. OSPP committee will process international wire transfers if needed[5].
One interesting point, OSPP is providing three different levels[6], with different awards (about USD 1.8k, 1.4k, 0.9k)[7]. That might make it easier to find projects/students (Thanks to Austin English to notice it)
If we're going to participate in OSPP, we could reuse our GSoC page[8]. Our GSoC history[9] could also be a guide for new candidates. Obviously, new ideas are welcome. If an idea is interesting but too easy for GSoC, please consider sending it to OSPP with medium/low difficulty.
Please send your questions/doubts/complaints/etc to wine-devel. If we're going to participate in OSPP 2021, I will submit the Wine community's application before May 20th (deadline for community).
