Greetings, I hope this email finds you well. I am Lorenzo Castellini, a senior high school student, with an interest in participating in the Google Summer of Code. I am writing this email, since I am interested in collaborating with Flashrom on the project, but I am in need of a bit of guidance with the project proposal. I was wondering if we could discuss some ideas on the project proposal. Ideally, I was looking at doing a project related to PC hardware, since it is my area of interest. I do have experience with coding in various languages, as well as some knowledge on computer hardware, etc. Below, I have attached my resume with more information. Please get back to me as soon as possible to discuss more about the project. Thanks for your time.
Sincerely, Lorenzo Castellini Coutin
Hello Lorenzo,
Thanks for your interest in flashrom! Unfortunately, we are not participating in GSoC 2023. Also looking at the program timeline for 2023, the deadline for contributor application is already over. For this year, it's too late for you to join the GSoC program for any organisation.
However, maybe you are thinking of potentially joining next year: that's cool. You can also contribute to flashrom at any time independently of GSoC or any other program, but just to be clear: that would be your personal contribution, and not paid.
In any case you need to have a look at guidelines and see how it goes: https://www.flashrom.org/Development_Guidelines https://www.flashrom.org/GSoC https://www.flashrom.org/Easy_projects
Good luck!
