Welcome to the Google Summer of Code 2019. Be sure to join our 24 x 7 community server channel - [https://open.rocket.chat/channel/gsoc2019](https://open.rocket.chat/channel/gsoc2019) - where we may have ad-hoc GSoC discussions at any time.

Our most updated project list for GSoC 2019 is available here:

[https://rocket.chat/docs/contributing/google-summer-of-code-2019/#project-ideas](https://rocket.chat/docs/contributing/google-summer-of-code-2019/#project-ideas)

Interest is extremely high this year, candidate students have already started to interact with our community and contributing to the projects! We are maintaining a realtime updated leaderboard for at-a-glance student (candidates) contribution here:

[https://gsoc.rocket.chat/](https://gsoc.rocket.chat/)

The leaderboard project **itself** is open source, created and maintained by our student (candidates). All potential GSoC organizations are welcome to use and deploy it (the project has super friendly MIT license - just like Rocket.Chat).
