This proposal is under discussion
Summer 2021 of Open Source Promotion Plan (OSPP) is jointly organized by Institute of Software Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISCAS) and openEuler community. OSPP Summer is very similar to Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and Outreachy.
OSPP opens to all projects with OSI-approved licenses, and worldwide students. When students finish their projects, both students and mentors will be paid. OSPP committee will process international wire transfers if needed.
Differences With GSoC
OSPP is providing three different levels, with different awards. That might make it easier to find projects/students. If an idea is interesting but too easy for GSoC, it might be suitable for OSPP summer with medium/low difficulty.
OSPP explicitly lists documentation work as possible tasks. This adds a few (but not many) opportunities for easy, yet useful projects.
Projects
All GSoC projects are considered as eligible projects for OSPP Summer.
Projects only for OSPP
