Hi all.
We had lots of applications for GSoC, and lots of folks to act as mentors,
so I want to
thank everyone there.
Django was accepted into GSoC. We were granted two slots. Thus for 2020,
two student proposals were selected:
* Kacper Szmigiel, an undergraduate student at Technical University of Lodz
in Poland, will work on a refactor of the mypy plugin plugin that is part
of [django-stubs][0]. His primary mentors are Nikita Sobolev, and Artem
Malyshev, maintainers of django-stubs.

* Ahmad A. Hussein, an undergraduate student German University in Cairo,
will work to extend the parallel test runner to Windows, macOS, and add
Oracle support. His primary mentors are Tom Forbes and Adam Johnson.
Additional mentors are Shai Berger, Simon Charette, Sage Abdullah, David
Smith, Mariusz Felisiak, and Carlton Gibson.
(I allocated us to the projects for the application phase but we can
adjust.)
My plan/hope/thought is to use the Forum[1] as the primary communication
channel. It works well for discussions.
If anyone else would like to follow-along, then that's the place.

We can post more occasional updates to the list here.
I'd like to welcome Ahmad and Kacper — we're looking forward to working
with you!
Kind Regards,
Carlton
