Welcome to the gsoc2015 wiki, which will be the central hub of information about the R Project participation in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) for 2015. Administrators are Toby Dylan Hocking, Brian Peterson, and Virgilio Gomez Rubio as a backup. Everyone who wants to participate in Google Summer of Code with R should join the low-traffic google group [email protected]. Please read the R-GSOC-FAQ and the Google FAQ before posting questions to the google group!

Overview of GSOC

In short, each student will get paid $5500 to work on an R package for 3 months during the summer:

• Mentors can add projects to give ideas to students.
• Students should look at the list of projects and see if any project interests them. If so, email the project mentors to express your interest, and describe any prior experience. Students with ideas for R projects not listed below are encouraged to post a query on the r-gsoc google group.
• Students will submit project applications directly to Google Melange.
• Google will award a certain number of student slots to the R project.
• The GSOC-R administrators and mentors will rank projects in order of importance to the R project, and the top projects will be funded.
• Students get paid $5500.
• Mentors get code written for their project, but no money.

Status and Timeline

Will be posted here when Google posts the official timeline.
