“GirlScript Summer of Code was just an idea to help clueless beginners in open source. We never expected 1000 participants from 4 countries but it happened and we successfully completed it. The program also helped some NGOs to get their projects built without spending any money and therefore we created an impact. Although, there were some flaws in first edition, we are coming again in 2019 with corrections and additions!”

“GSSoC is an amazing opportunity for budding engineers to collaborate, co-learn and contribute towards projects. As a mentor, I was astonished at the energy and time students dedicated for the cause, developers choose their own projects, build with their own vision and were able to compete with peers.”
“GSSoC was my first and, till now, best mentoring experience; the program is wisely catered for the growth of participants as well as mentors. A lot of projects were upscaled during the 2018 edition, seeing the participation of some really skilled students.”
