We +are looking for both [Students](#students) and [Sponsors](#sponsors) who want to +help Redox OS grow. + +<a id="sponsors"></a> +## Becoming a RSoC Sponsor + +At the moment, Redox OS has $10,800 in donations from various platforms to use +to fund students. This will give us three students working for three months, if +each student requests $1200 per month on average as described in [Payment](#payment). + +In order to fund more students, we are looking for sponsors who are willing to +fund RSoC. Donations can be made on the [Donate](https://www.redox-os.org/donate/) +page. All donations will be used to fund Redox OS activities, with about 90% of +those over the past year currently allocated to RSoC. + +<a id="students"></a> +## Becoming a RSoC Student + +If you would like to sign up as a RSoC student with Redox OS, please send an +email to [info@redox-os.org](mailto:info@redox-os.org) with the following +information: + +- Your name, or whatever you would like to be referred to + +- Your location, ideally identifying which time zone you are in + +- Your programming background, with links to source code if available + +- Your project idea, please see [Projects](#projects) for examples. + +- Your estimated start and end date, ideally from June 1st to August 31st. + +- Your desired payment, see [Payment](#payment) for more information. + +RSoC provides more freedom than the GSoC program.
