Add a heading for "I want to participate in Google Summer of Code, Code-In, or Season of Docs"

Text to into new section below...

Drupal annually applies to participate in Google Summer of Code, Google Code-In, and Google Season of Docs. Anyone interested in participating as a student, mentor, or writer can find information to get started below. Chat with us in #drupal-google on DrupalSlack.

Google Summer of Code: university students paid to contribute 1 big project per student (usually module ports).

Google Code-In: content for students ages 13-17 working on many small tasks attempting to win a trip to Google.

Google Season of Docs: technical writers paid to write documentation for opensource projects.

Contact Drupal's administrator Slurpee for any questions related to GSoC, GCI, or GSoD.

Excellent idea!

Would it also make sense to have a "group home" in the Community section for these things?

We are indeed looking to create a "group home" as well as the additions to the /community "Find my Place" page.

Looking at the sections on /community, though, I do wonder if it would actually be better to add content to the already created sections that direct users when:

  1. I want to contribute code to the Drupal Project
  2. I want to contribute documentation to the Drupal Project

I think we should add a GSoC, a GCI and GSoD component in each of those.

Any thoughts?

You know what - I've had second thoughts on this and maybe it *should* be a section all on its own. It is different enough from other mentoring to warrant a section all of its own right now.

In the medium term, I do think we need to look across the whole project and how we organise mentoring - at events, online generally and through things like GSoC. That's for another discussion elsewhere, though.

In this case, this is now mostly ready to roll. I'd like to see reference to the community/group/gsoc to explain who is involved in this text. When that section is up and ready, and the links are added, we can add this

I agree that the Google* things are related to, but seem separate from, general mentoring.

I'm a bit confused as to what more is needed for this section. Each of the 3 Google* things includes a link to the groups.drupal.org group for it. Does it need to be reformatted so it follows the template?

FYI @jhodgdon, Matthew is creating Drupal.org/community/gsoc to hold an overview of the organisation of GSOC etc, the people involved and so on. I'd like to see that reflected in the text and then I can add it to the community page.

Waiting to see whether Michael wants this section adding.
