Hi all,
Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025 has already been announced and the timeline is available on this link: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline. Obviously the submission of organisations deadline has already been past, but Apache is in the mix. To increase our chances as an organisation it would help if we have as many ideas for projects as possible (and potential mentors). To submit your idea please create a GitHub issue at the official ACS repository with label “gsoc25” (such as: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Agsoc2025), we’ll later review and work with the ASF guys to make this list available for applications. You will also need to register as a mentor. To become a mentor you don’t need to be committer or PMC, just to have an idea and the will to support and guide a contributor developing it. Registering is also easy, please send an email to private@ and ask to be recognized as such. You can find the general information of the program on: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ Here is the howto for being a mentor: https://community.apache.org/gsoc/guide-to-being-a-mentor.html more generic info: https://community.apache.org/gsoc/ Please directly add your project idea, and of course if you have questions I’ll be available to help. regards, Daan
