Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a great opportunity for TYPO3 to participate in a fantastic program. It will allow TYPO3 to get some important projects done, grow our community, and become more known around the world. About Google Summer of Code Google Summer of Code is a program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source projects.  Historically, the program has brought together over 2,400 students with over 230 open source projects, to create millions of lines of code. The program, which kicked off in 2005, is now in its fifth year.
