Google Summer of Code at ANU

In 2016, the Australian National University (ANU) is applying to participate in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program. In the Google Summer of Code you'll get a chance to hack on exciting open-source projects, build up your GitHub resume, get access to expert mentors from the ANU, and be the envy of your friends!

The ANU Open-Source Software Innovation and Education (AOSSIE) group includes the following four research-intensive open-source projects developed at our university:

  • Extempore: A live a programming environment
  • PriMedLink: A private medical data linkage project
  • Rogas: A network analytics platform
  • Skeptik: A tool for compressing proofs generated by automated reasoners.

Application process

If you'd like to participate in the 2016 program please following the process below.

  • Review the projects below
  • Contact us before the application period (29 February - 13 March) to discuss your application
  • Write your application according to our template
  • Submit your application (14 March - 25 March)
