<p>R project has been participating in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) since 2008. We have numerous packages which have received code contributions from GSoC participants. This year too, R is participating and there is already an impressive list of potential projects listed at [<a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/rstats-gsoc/gsoc2018/wiki/table-of-proposed-coding-projects" target="_blank">https://github.com/rstats-gsoc/gsoc2018/wiki/table-of-proposed-coding-projects</a>] and the project mentors are seeking students to work on these projects.</p>

<p>The applications are open now and students have time till 27th March 2018 to complete the applications. If you know any full time university students interested in R, this is a great opportunity to contribute some code and earn stipend over summer.</p>
