Note: We moved the repo to the NixOS org in an effort of making our GSoC participation more official.

GSoC projects

This repo is used to coordinate efforts around the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program in the Nix community.

GSoC is a program that sponsors students to work on Open Source projects in the summer. A lot of students have to do summer jobs to sustain their living. Instead of that, why not exercise your skills for 3 months while getting paid?
