Application
Why does your org want to participate in Google Summer of Code?
Apertium has been part of GSoC for over a decade and it has been a great experience. Apertium loves GSoC: it supports free/open-source (FOS) software as much as we do! Apertium needs GSoC: it offers an incredible opportunity (and resources!) allowing us to spread the word about our project, to attract new developers and consolidate the contribution of existing developers through mentoring, and to improve the platform in many ways: improving the engine, generating new tools and user interfaces, making Apertium available to other applications, improving the quality of the languages currently supported, adding new languages to it. Apertium loves less-resourced languages and GSoC gives an opportunity for developers speaking them to generate FOS language technologies for them. Apertium will gain: more developers getting to know FOS software and the ethos that comes with it, contributing to it, and especially contributors who are passionate about languages and computers.
