Why is Acro Media involved in GSoC?

Introducing students to open source software development and helping drive open source coding forward are key mandates of GSoC, which is something Acro Media can definitely get behind. 

Improved coding and talented new developers are only going to make the Open Source Community stronger.

Student developers like Vishal Chaudary gain valuable mentorship and insight through a 3-month internship. 

Vishal was chosen to take part in GSoC as a student developer working on the Drupal Commerce Fraud Project. The project aims to port the Commerce fraud module to Drupal 8/9 with candidate level release. This includes updating the current module with adding new features compatible with latest versions of Drupal.
