Shubhank Saxena shares his experience of writing GSoC proposals and offers some tips and insights for prospective GSoC participants. They emphasize the importance of following an organization's pre-defined templates, conveying availability and project timeline clearly, and keeping the proposal technical and to the point.

They also stress the importance of proper formatting and review by peers and mentors. The writer shares their personal experiences with two GSoC projects and the feedback they received from their mentors.

This Flow Card is more of a walkthrough of his proposal writing process, which will help you understand what is exactly expected out of a "good proposal". Again, focus on what is expected.

Note that, as compared to previously, GSoC is now accepting proposals whether you are a student or already graduated.
