    2727 Describe your organization.::
    2828    MacPorts is a port collection and packaging system for macOS. Created in 2002 as DarwinPorts, we have an ever-growing collection of ports (currently over 22000), many of which accept multiple configuration variants. MacPorts itself works on both PowerPC and Intel Macs, running OS X 10.4 through macOS 10.13, and many ports support a similar breadth of systems. As one of the primary means of building and installing open source software on macOS, MacPorts is an important interface between Mac operating systems and the rest of the open source world, greatly simplifying the task of compiling and installing open-source software on your Mac.

    3233 Why does your org want to participate in Google Summer of Code?::
    33     Boosted by the success of the projects done in 2011 and 2014, we're eager to add new features and increase the user-friendliness of MacPorts. We're hoping to attract new developers that will stay with the project and work on new features and necessary refactoring of our code. GSoC has helped our organization grow in every aspect, from bringing contributors to the number of packages supported. We believe that giving students the possibility to work with us on the projects we have in our community and to learn from developers will be a great real-world experience for them and help them define their next step in their careers.

This year, the org admin from 2017, both the students and 2 out of 3 mentors will participate in an international meeting with other community members to brainstorm ideas together and have round-table discussions for future development.

    40  If you answered “yes” to the question above, please summarize your involvement and the successes and challenges of your participation.::
    41     MacPorts has participated multiple times since 2007. Most of our students completed their projects successfully, and we greatly appreciate those contributions. We had previous GSoC students coming back as mentors in the following years; for example, our backup administrator was a student for our organization back in GSoC 2015 and one of the mentors from GSoC 2011. I myself participated in GSoC 2017 with MacPorts.
