Google Summer of Code Wiki
Purpose
Right now this wiki has pages from mentors and mentoring organizations who participate in GSoC. Much of the information comes from GSoC Mentor Summits. These have been held annually since 2006 at Google headquarters in Mountain View California.
We would like this wiki to in time become a general resource for mentoring organizations participating in GSoC, and be of benefit to the Open Source community as a whole.
