Elastic announced its participation in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2020, inviting university students to collaborate on open-source projects, specifically focusing on the Elastic UI Framework (EUI). EUI, originally developed as the design system for Kibana, has evolved to be widely used both within and outside Elastic, benefiting from global contributions and rapid feature releases. Elastic emphasizes the importance of maintaining robust support for diverse projects and platforms while providing comprehensive documentation to aid users. Students participating in GSoC will be mentored throughout their three-month coding journey, defining project deliverables and receiving continuous feedback, with successful contributions potentially being merged into the broader EUI project. The deadline for project proposals is March 31, 2020, and interested candidates are encouraged to engage with Elastic's resources and support channels to refine their submissions.
