The Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is an annual program organized by Google to promote the development of free software.
Through this program, Google offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects during the spring. The participating projects are chosen on the reputation of the software, its quality and the relevance and feasibility of proposed projects.
The Scilab Consortium has been selected as mentoring organization for the third consecutive year to the Summer of Code 2011.
