phpMyAdmin's Google Summer of Code 2018 projects

2018-04-23

The phpMyAdmin project is please to announce the students and projects that have been selected for participation in Google Summer of Code 2018.

This year the final selections were exceptionally difficult; we received applications from many students that were worthy of being selected. We wish the best to the students who were not selected and hope they'll continue to stay involved and apply again next year.

The students and projects are:

• Lakshya Arora, working on general improvements and project enhancements
• Piyush Vijay, modernizing the JavaScript used throughout the project
• Saksham Gupta, improving themes through an automated theme generating tool
• Leonardo Strozzi, improving the use of the Twig templating engine

Google Summer of Code is sponsored by Google and allows college students the opportunity to get paid for work on real-world projects during the summer. The phpMyAdmin project has participated for many years and many new features and enhancements have been incorporated thanks to the work of these students.
