+# Open Science Labs Organization Questionnaire for GSoC 2024
+
+This file contains the Open Science Labs organization's questionnaire for Google
+Summer of Code (GSoC) 2024.
+
+## Why does your organization want to participate in Google Summer of Code?
+
+Open Science Labs aims to uplift small projects that often go unnoticed by big
+open-source organizations. Google Summer of Code will be the perfect platform to
+give these projects the recognition they need to attract new contributors and
+develop new code.
+
+Open Science Labs plans to participate as an umbrella organization, with the
+sub-organization being open-science or open-source. The participation will
+enable these smaller projects to grow, become self-sufficient, and, in the
+future, apply for grants available only to well-established projects. Open
+Science Labs has previously successfully participated in GSoC under the NumFOCUS
+umbrella.
+
+## What would your organization consider to be a successful GSoC program?
+
+A successful Google Summer of Code program will include developing good quality
+code, documentation, and infrastructure, as well as an increase in engagement
+within the sub-organizations and Open Science Labs as a whole. The student's
+decision to keep contributing to the project after the official funding ends
+will also be an essential factor in the success of this program. Finally, the
+projects and the mentors learning how to welcome and onboard new contributors
+regularly will also contribute to the program's success.
+
+## How will you keep mentors engaged with their GSoC contributors?
+
+Open Science Labs admins will regularly check with every project regarding their
+progress and if they need any additional support. The admins themselves will be
+mentoring a few projects; hence, they will be involved in the mentoring process.
+Furthermore, we plan on conducting biweekly surveys for both the mentors and the
+students so that we can identify any potential gaps and act on them. Lastly,
+asking the students to write biweekly blogs will allow us to monitor their
+progress and how involved the mentors are in the project.
+
+## How will you keep your GSoC contributors on schedule to complete their projects?
+
+We will require the students to write biweekly blogs on our website to track
+their progress and to keep them motivated. Open Science Labs as a whole will
+involve them in our community and developer meetings, instilling a sense of
+belonging. We will also encourage them to present their work in topical meetings
+held during the summer. Finally, we will regularly meet with the
+sub-organisations to keep track of the work.
+
+## How will you get your GSoC contributors involved in your community during GSoC?
+
+Open Science Labs is a very welcoming community. Our organization has members
+from multiple countries, and most meetings are held in Spanish and English to
+accommodate everyone. We will invite every selected student to these meetings
+and make them feel welcome. We will also encourage them to present their work in
+blogs and topical meetings, where they can interact with students and mentors
+working under a different sub-organization. Finally, we will share the students'
+work with our partners and on our social media channels to boost their
+visibility within the open-source scientific community.

+## About Open Science Labs
+
+### Short description
+
+Open Science Labs is a global community dedicated to creating an open space for
+teaching, learning, and sharing information about open science and computational
+tools. Our community develops tools that address real-world problems and
+collaborates with other projects and workgroups to improve technology and create
+international opportunities for our community.
+
+### Long description
+
+Open Science Labs is a global community dedicated to creating an open space for
+teaching, learning, and sharing information about open science and computational
+tools. Our community develops tools that address real-world problems and
+collaborates with other projects and workgroups to improve technology and create
+international opportunities for our community. Although our focus may seem
+broad, we initially prioritize supporting Research Software Engineers (RSEs) who
+often face computational challenges in their work. We recognize that many
+colleagues in scientific fields may not be familiar with programming languages,
+computational libraries, version control systems, databases, DevOps, and other
+computational tools. Therefore, we aim to provide a safe and open space for
+individuals to learn and share their knowledge. Our community is open to
+everyone, including students, professors, and industry professionals, as we
+believe that the challenges and technologies used in these fields are frequently
+similar, if not the same (in many cases).

+
+## Why does your org want to participate in GSoC?
+
+Open Science Labs aims to participate in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) to further
+its mission of promoting open science and collaborative development. By
+participating in the program, the organization will be able to connect with
+students from diverse academic backgrounds and skill levels, empowering them to
+contribute their unique perspectives and skills to open source projects and
+apply their knowledge to real-world, impactful work. Furthermore, Open Science
+Labs will serve as an umbrella organization, partnering with promising open
+science and open source projects that often lack visibility to help them get the
+recognition and support they deserve.
+
+## What would your organization consider to be a successful GSoC for your org?
+
+Open Science Labs would consider GSoC successful if it achieves meaningful
+outcomes in line with its mission. This includes empowering students by
+providing them with mentorship, guidance and the opportunity to develop valuable
+skills in open source development. Success would also be reflected in the
+advancement of open source tools, with students contributing to the improvement
+of existing tools or the creation of new ones that benefit the open science
+community. In addition, fostering a sense of collaboration and community among
+participants, both during and after the program, would be a key indicator of
+success. Ultimately, a successful GSoC would not only drive innovation and
+growth for the open source projects, but also inspire students to continue
+contributing to these projects, further increasing the organization's impact.
+
+## How will you keep mentors engaged with their GSoC contributors?
+
+At Open Science Labs, the commitment of mentors to their GSoC participants is
+rooted in our core values of collaboration, innovation, and openness, as well as
+our commitment to education and community growth. Mentors at OSL are naturally
+passionate about fostering learning and development, which drives their
+commitment to mentoring students throughout the program. Additionally, many of
+them are authors and/or maintainers of the projects. At Open Science Labs we
+emphasize the importance of peer-to-peer learning, where mentors not only share
+their expertise, but also gain fresh perspectives from students. By aligning
+mentorship with our formula for success - empowering the community through
+tools, resources and support - we ensure that mentors stay motivated and
+invested in helping contributors succeed, ultimately contributing to the lasting
+impact of open science and technology.
+
+## How will you keep your GSoC contributors on schedule to complete their projects?
+
+To keep GSoC contributors on schedule and ensure the successful completion of
+their projects, Open Science Labs will implement a structured yet flexible
+approach. This includes establishing clear milestones and deliverables from the
+start, scheduling regular check-ins for progress reviews and feedback, and
+encouraging the use of project management tools. Mentors will actively guide
+contributors, fostering open communication and providing support to overcome
+challenges. By breaking down larger goals into manageable tasks and maintaining
+a supportive environment, Open Science Labs will ensure contributors stay
+motivated, productive, and on track to deliver impactful results. Additionally,
+with an open and active community, students can raise any questions in the chat
+channels on Discord.
+
+## How will you get your GSoC contributors involved in your community during GSoC?
+
+To get GSoC contributors involved in the Open Science Labs community during
+GSoC, we will leverage our welcoming and inclusive environment. Students will be
+encouraged to present their work in blogs and topical meetings, helping them
+gain confidence and interact with peers and mentors across sub-organizations.
+Their work will be shared with partners and on social media to boost visibility
+within the open-source scientific community. To further integrate them,
+contributors will participate in community events, workshops, and collaborative
+projects, fostering a sense of belonging and active engagement within the Open
+Science Labs ecosystem. Additionally, they will have opportunities to share
+their interests and connect with like-minded collaborators.
+
+## Anything else we should know? (Optional)
+
+Open Science Labs has previously successfully participated in GSoC under the
+NumFOCUS umbrella.
+
+## Is your organization part of any government?
