The document describes iRail Summer of Code (iSoc), a 1-month coding event where students work on projects using public data. Participants receive technical support and share ideas to avoid duplicative work. Sponsors gain logo visibility and can engage with students at workshops. The event organizers propose several project ideas like a generic API or commuter tools that could benefit sponsors by leveraging students' skills at low cost.
