Thank you for your interest into the FOSSASIA Advanced Developer Program. The application to the program is open to any developer who successfully graduated in a previous FOSSASIA Student or Professional Coding Program, GSoC or has been a finalist in the Codeheat contest.

In the FOSSASIA Advanced Developer program developers continue their contributions in FOSSASIA projects as team members in an official role. Developers also become mentors for newcomers in the community participating in Codeheat and Google Code-In. If a local FOSSASIA developer group exists, developers support the group and work as a local contact of the FOSSASIA organization.

For successful participants of the program FOSSASIA will provide travel funding of 600 SGD to the FOSSASIA summit in 2018. Requirements of the program include to stay actively engaged in the community and follow the best practices we established during GSoC and/or other programs.
