Google Summer of Code 2012

At Twitter, we love Open Source, working with students and Google's Summer of Code!

Information for Students

These ideas were contributed by our developers. If you wish to submit a proposal based on these ideas, you may wish to contact the developers and find out more about the particular suggestion you're looking at.

Being accepted as a Google Summer of Code student is quite competitive. Accepted students typically have thoroughly researched the technologies of their proposed project and have been in frequent contact with potential mentors. Simply copying and pasting an idea here will not work. On the other hand, creating a completely new idea without first consulting potential mentors is unlikely to work out.

If there is no specific contact given you can ask questions via Twitter, http://twitter.com/TwitterOSS

Project Ideas

Bootstrap

https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap

Project Idea (e.g., New Feature)

  • Brief explanation: New Bootstrap Customize Experience (http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/download.html)
  • Expected results: A more full featured and dynamic builder page. Thinking something which handles dependencies, has more variables, color pickers, sliders, etc. Should be the best custom download page on the internet basically. This would also include improving the backend (performance & flexibility - currently written in Node, could rewrite in something else). The backend should be opensourced at the end of the project as well.
  • Knowledge Prerequisite: Javascript, CSS, (Node, Scala, or something similar)
  • Mentor: Jacob Thornton & Mark Otto
