[Google]'s Summer Of Code ([GSoC]) is a ''global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects'' (quoted from [http://socghop.appspot.com/%|%Google Open Source Programs]). This page here is the main entry point to the Tcl Community's pages organizing its participation in the program, from our applications to the program as organization, to the various pages with project ideas. The communities liaison to Google is the [Tcl Association]. **Applications as Mentoring Organization** %|Year|Application Page|Funded Slots|Successful Students|Downloads|% &|2011|[Organization Application for Google Summer of Code 2011]||||& &|2010|[Organization Application for Google Summer of Code 2010]|7|7|http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2010-tcl-tk/downloads/list|& &|[http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/org/home/google/gsoc2009/tcltk%|%2009]|[Organization Application for Google Summer of Code 2009]|9|9|http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2009-tcl/downloads/list|& &|2008|[Organization Application for Google Summer of Code 2008]|9|9|http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2008-tcl/downloads/list|& &|2007|[GSoC2007 Tcl/Tk Application]|0|n/a|& **Project Idea Pages** [TCL GSoC patterns and advice] %|Year|Project Page(s)|Executed Projects|% &|2011|[Project Ideas for Google Summer of Code 2011]||& &|2010|[Project Ideas for Google Summer of Code 2010]|[GSoC 2010 Executed Projects]|& &|2009|[Project Ideas for Google Summer of Code 2009]<
