The research group Visual Software Analytics at Leipzig University takes part in this year’s Google Summer of Code. This is a Google-funded program to promote open source software. As a participant, you work independently on one of the projects offered and receive a scholarship from Google in the amount of $3,000 – $7,000 (depending on your country). The development period is 3 months (27 May – 26 August 2019). For more information, please visit the official website and our organization listing. In order to participate, you must be a student.
