Hi Jonathan,

Yes, Google can accept masters and PhD students into the GSoC program.

According to the rules page: "be enrolled in or accepted into an accredited 
institution, including a college, university, masters   program, PhD program, 
and/or undergraduate program, as of the Acceptance Date;"

Thanks for noting that.

Best Regards,
Amr Keleg

Hi Amr,

One quick question, which I know is for Google to worry about more than for us, 
but still has some bearing.

If you have already graduated, then are you eligible for GSoC?

Dear all,

My name is Amr Keleg. I am currently working as a teacher assistant at the 
Computer and systems department, Faculty of engineering, Ain shams university, 
Cairo, Egypt.
I have graduated from faculty of engineering, Ain shams university in 2017 as 
the first of my class of 138 students.

I am interested in NLP and I am very excited to contribute to Apertium.
I worked as a full-time engineer for nearly a year and my role was implementing 
a sentiment analysis model for the Arabic language but from a machine learning 
point of view. I know that developing rule-based solutions requires both 
efforts and deep knowledge.
I am currently pursuing my master's degree and the GSoC program will allow me 
to explore the NLP field more.
I am looking forward to learning from Apertium's maintainers and developers.

I have participated in 
GSoC2016<https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2016/projects/5461783343005696/>
 and contributed to the GNU Octave project.
I learned a lot throughout the programme and worked with new technologies and 
tools.
Since then, I have made some contributions to open source projects like: 
gensim, cltk and asciinema.
I am willing to contribute to Apertium and become a regular maintainer.

I am interested in the "Unsupervised weighting of automata" project.
I have already installed Apertium and tried the Arabic-Maltese model.
I will start working on the coding challenge.
I would like to contact the project's mentors so that we can discuss the 
project's details.

Thanks and looking forward to collaborating with you.

Best Regards,
Amr
