# Google Summer of Code
|
|
|
|
Kubernetes is happy to announce that we have participated in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program
|
|
under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) in 2017, 2018, 2019 and as an independent organization
|
|
in 2015. The details for the current year can be found [here](https://github.com/cncf/soc).
|
|
|
|
Please see the [main program page](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) for general information about the program,
|
|
such as its purpose, timeline, eligibility requirements, and how to apply.
|
|
|
|
## What is Kubernetes?
|
|
|
|
Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
|
|
It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery.
|
|
Kubernetes builds upon 15 years of experience of running production workloads at Google, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
|
|
Please see [kubernetes.io](https://kubernetes.io/) for more details.
|
|
|
|
## What are SIGs?
|
|
|
|
Kubernetes is a set of projects, each shepherded by a special interest group (SIG).
|
|
To get a grasp of the projects that we work on, check out the complete [list of SIGs](/sig-list.md).
|
|
|
|
This [slide deck](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1JqcALpsg07eH665ZXQrIvOcin6SzzsIUjMRRVivrZMg) provides an overview of how the Kubernetes community is organized.
|
|
|
|
## Communication
|
|
|
|
- Mailing List: development announcements and discussions appear on the Google group `kubernetes-dev` (send mail to kubernetes-dev@googlegroups.com).
|
|
- Slack: #gsoc-apps channel on the Kubernetes Slack. You can get an invite [here](http://slack.k8s.io/).
