"Only love can withstand the test of time"
On May 25, 2020, the second annual Alibaba Summer of Code (ASoC) went live and it is now bigger than ever. This time around, we have 20 popular projects from the open-source community including Apache, Dubbo, Apache-RocketMQ, Dragonfly, Nacos, and Seata as well as 32 mentors including technical experts from the Alibaba Group, key members of the open-source community, and Apache incubator advisers. The 2020 ASoC covers hot topics such as microservices, containers, and AI. Our goal is to work with open-source communities to create a sincere and fair open-source internship platform. We hope to introduce the world to the Chinese open-source community and its developers through Alibaba's prowess in open-source technology.
Alibaba held the first ASoC in 2019 and started the trend of Chinese enterprises participating in international open-source projects. This stoked college students' enthusiasm for contributing to open-source communities. Unlike the Google Summer of Code, which is restricted by federal laws in the U.S., the ASoC has no restrictions on nationality and is open to all students in higher education over the age of 18. Undergraduate, master's, and PhD students can all apply. Applicants who pass the final evaluation receive the same stipend as an Alibaba intern and the chance to learn from Alibaba technical experts face to face.
(List of Open Source Projects)
If you are a great coder with crazy ideas and hands-on experience, if you are someone who can reach for the stars with your feet on the ground, please apply.
This is not just something to put on your resume, but the start of your journey to becoming an expert open source contributor.
(Mentors will present the trainees with their open source contributor certificates and Jia Yangqing, VP of Alibaba and head of the Alibaba Open Source Committee will deliver a speech.)

"The open-source community is a good stage for you to show the world what you are capable of. At the same time, you can learn from experts in different fields to improve your skills. The ASoC is a doorway that leads students to the world-class open-source stage."
Zhang Huxing (Wangtao)
Apache member and Apache Dubbo/Tomcat PMC member
"I am so happy that ASoC turned two this year. This is a great opportunity for open source to introduce itself to the universities and colleges and let students experience the leading open-source projects in the industry as early as possible. Combining learning and practical experience is always an excellent idea. I wish ASoC continues to do well!"
Feng Jia (Youshen)
Apache Incubator mentor, GSoC mentor, and Alibaba Open Source Committee TOC
"ASoC is the largest open-source programming competition in China available to college students. It lets you take an active part in cutting edge open-source projects, horn your technical skills, and better plan your career path."
Alibaba Cloud is proud to empower students all around the world to become the next generation of IT and cloud professionals. Alibaba Cloud also runs other technical programs, such as the introductory cloud computing training camp and the Alibaba DAMO Academy computer vision training camp, that teach students and start them on a career path. Alibaba Cloud has also launched the Alibaba Cloud for Students program, in which eligible university students will gain access to cloud computing and e-learning resources. We hope our efforts will train a new generation of talent.
We encourage you to join the ASoC family, where you will meet more open-source technology experts and like-minded partners. You contribute exciting ideas and our mentors will return the favor by teaching you their programming tricks. Summer x Code = Alibaba Summer of Code! We look forward to hearing from you and helping you get started in the open-source world.
