]]>For the 10th year in a row, we have been accepted to be part of this incredible program to support young ambitious developers who want to work with open-source organizations like DBpedia.
So far, each year has brought us new project ideas, many amazing students and great project results that shaped the future of DBpedia. Even though Covid-19 changed a lot in the world, it couldn’t shake Google Summer of Code (GSoC) much. The program, designed to mentor youngsters from afar is almost too perfect for us. One of the advantages of GSoC is, especially in times like these, the chance to work on projects remotely, but still obtain a first deep dive into Open Source projects like us .
DBpedia is now looking for students who want to work with us during the upcoming summer months.
Google Summer of Code is a global program focused on bringing student developers into open source software development. Funds will be given to students (BSc, MSc, PhD.) to work for two and a half months on a specific task. For GSoC-Newbies, this short video and the information provided on their website will explain all there is to know about GSoC2021.
Step 1 | Check out one of our projects here or draft your own. |
Step 2 | Get in touch with our mentors as soon as possible and write up a project proposal of at least 8 pages. Information about our proposal structure and a template are available here. |
Step 3 | After a selection phase, students are matched with a specific project and mentor(s) and start working on the project. |
Further information on the application procedure is available in our DBpedia Guidelines. There you will find information on how to contact us and how to appropriately apply for GSoC2021. Please also note the official GSoC 2020 timeline for your proposal submission and make sure to submit on time. Unfortunately, extensions cannot be granted. Final submission deadline is April 13, 2021 at 8 pm, CEST.
Detailed information on how to apply are available on the DBpedia Website. We’ve prepared an information kit for you. Please find all necessary information regarding the student application procedure here.
And in case you still have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via dbpedia@infai.org.

…and we are proud of it. We are very grateful to be accepted as an open-source organization in this years’ Google Summer of Code (GSoC2020) edition, again. The upcoming GSoC2020 marks the 16th consecutive year of the program and is the 9th year in a row for DBpedia.
Google Summer of Code is a global program focused on bringing student developers into open source software development. Funds will be given to students (BSc, MSc, PhD.) to work for three months on a specific task. For GSoC-Newbies, this short video and the information provided on their website will explain all there is to know about GSoC2020.
Last year we tried to increase female participation in the program and we will continue to do so this year. We want to encourage explicitly female students to apply for our projects. That being said, we already engaged excellent female mentors to also raise the female percentage in our mentor team.
In the following weeks, we invite all students, female and male alike, who are interested in Semantic Web and Open Source development to apply for our projects. You can also contribute your own ideas to work on during the summer.
To all the smart brains out there, if you are a student who wants to work with us during summer 2020, check our list of project ideas, warm-up tasks or come up with your own idea and get in touch with us.
