On April 23, 2018, Google announced the open-source projects that will participate in Google Summer Of Code 2018. GFOSS participates this year with 10 open source projects, and students who will successfully complete the program will be rewarded with stipends for their contributions.
GSoC offers students from around the world the opportunity to contribute to a software project, and to learn how to work in an open source software development environment. Every summer, thousands of students from around the world participate in the GSoC, contributing to the development of open source projects.
The 10 open-source projects to be developed within GSOC 2018 are:
- Adding Greek language on NLP library Spacy.io
Spacy is an open-source Python library for advanced Natural Language Processing. Adding the Greek language will provide massive improvements on applying NLP on the Greek language, and allow for actions as Named entity recognition and Part-of-speech tagging
