It worth mentioning that the proposal plays a very big role in selecting in Google Summer of Code. A proposal is basically you describing to your organisation how you would go about the project. Based on this and your credibility, your organisation would contemplate on whether to select you or not. I was Google Summer of Code student in 2018. During the proposal submitting time, I have seen a lot of proposal on the organization chat channels, some are good and some bad. Many people try but some of them get in as there are limited slots in every organization. What stands out the selected student from the student who didn’t get selected is their proposals (there are other factors too). Your proposal should convince the mentors that you’re the right person for the project that can take project to next level.

I did Google Summer of Code 2018 with FOSSASIA and Mentored Google Summer of Code 2019 students. I am sharing my perspective as a mentor, what mentor except in a proposal and what are some things that make you stand out.
