FAQ
1. What is Google Summer of Code (GSoC)
Google Summer of Code (GSoc, https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) is a global program focused on bringing more student developers into open source software development. Students work with an open source organization on a 10 week programming project during their break from school.
每年 GSoC 都会组织世界顶级开源项目来发布任务给全世界的同学，吸引同学加入开源开发，同时会支付给同学奖学金。像 ffmpeg / debian / git / graphql 等等都有参与。
What is the Mentor of GSoC
Wechaty Organization 的 mentor ，需要发布 1-3 个项目给这个暑期的同学。挖掘更多的 Chatbot 想法，如果能结合上 Google 的这个活动，带几个同学做,尝试更多的点子落地。
Wechaty Org 的任何点子，都可以通过发布 Issue 的方法记录累了 https://github.com/wechaty/wishlist/issues 里面（多多益善）
然后，我们每位 Mentor 选出 1-3 个自己认为合适的项目，整理描述后，通过 Wechaty Org 申报给 Google ，并最终发布给同学。可以参考 Matrix 2020年的例子： https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2020/organizations/6400769936326656/
