Interested students can start submitting their applications (proposals) to the Fedora project and
google-melange.

Please make sure you complete following on or before the deadline, 06th April, 1900 UTC.
Do not wait till the last minute, no late proposals will be entertained by gsoc program admins or
Fedora project.

Complete how-to guide on submitting proposals[2] to the Fedora project can be found at wiki [3] and
each and every proposal should be submitted via the google-melange.com as well. (get registered with the
program if you dont) You should create your proposal on the wiki[4] and send the link to the summer-coding
mailing list. One student can submit more than one proposal[5] but bare mind the quality matters than
the quantity.

A template of the application[6] should be followed. Every question should be answered on the application
template. Feel free to add anything important and related except the questions noted on the application template.
But make sure all the questions on the application template will be answered.
