The following is largely distilled from the [[Projects]] page for the benefit of potential [https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com Google] and [https://socis.esa.int/ ESA] Summer of Code (SoC) students. Although students are welcome to attempt any of the projects in that page or any of their own choosing, here we offer some suggestions on what good student projects might be.
Since 2011 the GNU Octave project has mentored 38 students in [[Summer of Code]] (SoC) programs by [https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ Google] and [https://socis.esa.int/ ESA]. Those programs aim to populate open-source software development and to attract potential new Octave developers.
 
You can also take a look at last years [[Summer of Code]] projects for inspiration.
