Read all info on: Systers' Profile at GSoC.

For GSoC 2017, our goal is to have projects that impacts users/communities by improving their duties/tasks with technology. We want to provide projects in 1)various development languages, 2) technologies and 3) challenges. Systers will still maintain our current wiki for resources, however, we have created a repository here on GitHub (by popular demand) so that students/mentees can publish and store their code, connect with other open source communities who use GitHub, and learn how to store revisions of code like Git (Try Git!). More GitHub training materials >> here.


Peace Corps Projects

The Peace Corps has many volunteers (PCVs) out in the field assigned in various countries around the world. Systers will be working on 3 main Peace Corp projects that we hope to have them deployed by the end of this program.

[1] FirstAide (Web, PHP, HTML, CSS)

[2] PC Prep Kit (Web)

[3] Mobile App Control Center (Python w/Django)

Systers Projects

Systers, an Anita Borg Institute (ABI) Community, have very specific needs to help them internally and externally with managing events and volunteers.

Systers will also also be upgrading to the latest Systers GNU Mailman and applying our customized Systers features to the latest release. Because we have a customized version, it is a very complex and has a more difficulty level for programmers.

[4] Testing Automation (Selenium using both Java and Python)
