Info

The Mifos Initiative was unfortunately not selected as a mentoring organization for the 2021 Google Summer of Code as Google aims to accept at least 30 new organizations each year and we didn't make the final list with more than 400 organizations applying. . We hope to mentor projects related to Apache Fineract, Fineract CN and Fineract CN mobile under the umbrella organization of Apache Software Foundation. Please stay tuned for our ideas on that list at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/GSoC+2021+Ideas+list. We look forward to applying for GSOC in 2022.
