Recently Drupal 8 has gone under many changes due to which students are facing some difficulties to find some of functionalities.

You can browse to link below if you want to know what are the changes that have been taken place between various drupal versions. It gives you entire list of functions and variables that have been removed or renamed from version to version.

List of changes @ https://drupal.org/list-changes

Our awesome community recently became a bit more awesome. Drupal was accepted into Google's Summer of Code 2014! Student applications started March 10th and are open until March 21st. It's not too late to become a student, mentor, or submit a project idea. Not available to join the GSoC fun...maybe you can send an email to your alumni university mailing list?

Project Mentors: varunity, penyaskito

Interested Students:

Project Difficulty: CHALLENGING

Project Skills/Prerequisite: php, mysql, cms, content sync, local sync, local dev, OOP, Yaml, SQL

Problems to solve

In Drupal 8, the Configuration system empowers teams for using staging workflows based on their version control of system of choice.
However, those teams often need to include content in the mix, which can be redacted and evolved in a staging site. We need some way of pushing those into production.

The student application template is moving to https://www.drupal.org/community/contributor-guide/reference-information.... This page will soon be removed.

Did you miss the deadline to participate in Drupal's Google Summer of Code 2014? No worries, please add your mentor profile information below. GSoC is a very time consuming program and we welcome all the help we can find. Not to mention backup mentors can be essential to saving certain projects.

Hello potential students and GSoC application review team. Welcome to Drupal's 2014 "Project Ideas Page" properly organized for application submission.

Student Questions?

This page/wiki is a place to document tactics utilized to encourage participation from the Drupal community for Google annual Summer of Code program. This is not an easy job and documentation of what worked/failed is essential to update yearly. I'll personally add to this more after application is finished...

Successful Tactics

*Contacting all of Drupal's GSoC alumni students/mentors
*Contacting all of companies @ https://drupal.org/drupal-services
*Reviewing issue queue to manually found open issues turned projects

Google Summer of Code application requires pass/fail rate of every year from veteran organizations. It might be on application again in the future. Plus this is valuable information for us to review each year and try for more projects with less failures each year. We can use this information to document who attend mentor summit each year. Please update this wiki at end of every gsoc.

2021

Major announcement! The 10th annual Google Summer of Code application period kicked off Monday, February 3rd (GSoC 2014 announcement from Google[1]).

GSoC 2014 application requests our official social media pages. To be honest, it took me several minutes to track them down. Maybe I missed it, but I could not easily find links to the official Drupal twitter, facebook, g+. On another note, who manages these social media accounts and how do we setup a post about GSoC2014?

Maybe we should take webchick's advice at the end of this thread: https://groups.drupal.org/node/293088#comment-916238

and create a general "Google Summer of Code" group instead of doing one for each year?

What do you think, should we edit the name?

Utilize this wiki and template to add/organize potential tasks for Google's Summer of Code 2014 contest. We need at least 30 solid project ideas to help our chances of being accepted. Recent years of GSoC have shown lower participation and we hope to change that with the 10 year anniversary!

Deadline

Utilize this wiki to organize our application for Google's Summer of Code 2014 contest. Our plan is to have an initial application draft ready Wednesday February 12th. Please edit this wiki and add your feedback. Application URL @ http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/profile/create/google/gsoc2014
