Really nice! "After completing our curriculum, you will gain access to our internal code repository that powers c0d3.com" Out of curiosity, why aren't you opensourcing the code? That would make it easier for your students to showcase their contributions and how they communicate. My personal experience when I was a gsoc admin was that it was hard to get the students stick around after the end of the summer, do you manage and have some tips to share? |

It used to be closed source, but it was only because I wasn't confident about the quality of the codebase. Now it is much better.

First you should realize that some people just don't really see the point in coding. These people are just going to wander off.
The ones who are dedicated though, its important to spend time to talk to them and make sure your project aligns with their goals. Then they will contribute above and beyond. Our project mission is simple because most students want an engineering job: Working on c0d3.com repository will not only help you gain the skills as a software engineer, it also counts as work experience and makes your resume look amazing.
Does your gsoc project lead to a full time job conversion? 100% of the people I know who did gsoc did it with only one goal in mind: get a full time job.
