Starting yesterday, students were able to submit their proposals on the GSoC website. Please review this site <https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/wiki/Google-summer-of-code-(GSO...> thoroughly before making a submission. We're eager to hear what prospective students have in mind for a contribution to sklearn. As we've said before, mentor time is at a premium this year. If you've posted a proposal and we haven't responded, please keep poking us. I know that personally I tend to wake up to between 30-70 emails and have to triage based on my availability, and that Gael likely scoffs at this small number. Things fall through the cracks. If you haven't heard back that doesn't mean we don't want your submission, please submit or ask for feedback! A strong factor in determining if you're going to be chosen will be your availability with the code and methods you'd like to work on. It is less likely that we will take someone unfamiliar with the code base this year, as there is a large starting cost to getting familiar with an intricate code-base. In your application please emphasize your prior experience with either sklearn code, cython code (if applicable for your project) or machine learning code in general. Let us know if you have any other questions. Jacob
