My GSoC Proposals

When I first applied to Google Summer of Code (GSoC) , I didn’t know how to write a proposal and what it should look like , I did some research here and there and managed to work something out , so I decided to put them online to help would-be GSoC students , My proposals are considerably long compared to other proposals I have seen online, also proposals are usually written with minimal formatting or even in plain text , no fancy formatting is required (Unless your mentoring organization mandates it)

Bear in mind that different mentoring organizations have different requirements for their proposals , this should be your #1 priority, but almost every organization will require you to have a list of deliverable and a plan with timeline.

These proposal were both submitted to Joomla! in GSoC 2008 and 2009 and were accepted
