This is the Yocto Project specific page for Google Summer of Code. The Yocto Project is applying to be a mentoring organization for 2020 and is recruiting mentors and students.

Prospective mentors are requested to assist with the ideas page, add themselves to the list, join the dedicated mailing list and contact Nicolas Dechesne to be invited to be a mentor on Google's tool.
