Code Sample Submission Guidelines

How to Provide Google with a Copy of Your GSoC Code

Overview

As a requirement for the Google Summer of Code^TM, all students who receive passing final evaluations will need to provide a copy of the code they produced as part of participating in the program. All students will need to add a zipped tarball, which can include source files, a single .diff file, multiple .diff files, binary files, etc., to the Downloads section of a project created on Project Hosting on Google Code, e.g. http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2011-google-ospo/ for students working with Google as their mentoring organization for GSoC 2011.

The name of your organization's project will be http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2011-foo/, where "foo" is your organization's link ID. (If you do not know your organization's link ID, please visit the list of accepted organizations for 2011 to get this information.) You can also find a complete list of the project repositories created for 2011 at the end of this document.

All students receiving passing final evaluations will be added as members to the project for their particular organization and can begin uploading their code samples after they have been added as project members. You can use Project Hosting on Google Code using any Google Account, so we will use the Google Account information provided when registering for the program. We will begin sending final program payments to all students whether or not we have a code sample on file for you, but we will send neither t-shirt nor certificate to you until we have received your code sample.

Any student who does not provide a code sample will be expected to return the final program payment to us.

Code Sample File Nomenclature

Name your tarball file according to the following convention: givennames_surnames.tar.* (e.g. Carol_Smith.tar.gz)

Very important: You must use the nomenclature above when submitting your code. If you do not use this naming convention, chances are we are going to have a lot of trouble finding your code sample.

How to Provide Your Sample Code

Login using your your Google Account.
Go to the Downloads section of the your organization's project on Project Hosting on Google Code.
Click on the New Download link.
For the "Summary" field, enter your application title.
Click on the "Browse" button to locate the file, then click the "Submit File" button to upload.

Code Sample Timeline

Monday, 29 August 2011:

All projects for all organizations with passing students will be created on Project Hosting on Google Code. Students can begin uploading their code samples.

Friday, 12 September 2011: 19:00 UTC (12:00 noon Pacific Time)

"Soft" deadline for student code sample submission. What this means: if you get us your code sample by this "soft deadline," you will be in the first round of t-shirts to be shipped. Otherwise you'll need to wait until we have time to do one offs.

FAQs

1) I would like to continue working on my code after the 22 August "pencils down" date. Can I include any work done after 22 August in my code sample?

No. Please only provide a sample of the work you had done by 22 August, 2011. If you would like folks to be able to take a look at further work you have done since the deadline, please include pointers in a README file.

2) I cannot upload my code sample since the tarball is too large and there is an upload limit. What should I do?

Contact Carol Smith at carols@google.com for help.

3) I am not able to add my code sample to the project repository. What should I do?

There may have been an error adding your Google account information to the repository. Your organization administrator will be able to add you to the project; contact him/her for help.

4) What portion of my code should I include if it is part of a larger project that I didn't write?

Use your best discretion, or talk to your mentor about what's appropriate. This may mean including parts of the code base that you didn't write. It's up to you what you include and don't include.
