Rails Girls Summer of Code 2018

Check the offical RailsGirls SoC page for general information such as schedule and requirements to participate in the program.

We have applied: more information on February 12th!

Tips

We will prefer students who have shown to have the skills needed to contribute to Nextcloud. That means - if you've successfully managed to do an issue labeled with good first issue , bugfix or other minor change to Nextcloud and have gone through the process of integrating this at least once, we will know you've got a development setup and are capable of working with our process. We thus suggest to get started at https://nextcloud.com/contribute/
