Hi, I need people to help me admin this year. I can create the pages and do reminders, but I won't have time (and motivation) to do blog posts and more communication. So if you are interested, please don't be afraid and step up :).
I've updated the skeleton wiki page to create the 2025 season: https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2025/Ideas. Please start discussing among your teams what ideas will be great to have this year and who is willing to mentor, as KDE needs to apply between the January 27 and February 11 and we need a wiki page filled with ideas by then. And please don't wait the last moment to fill the page. Note: I've removed some links in the mail that were more related to mentors/admins, I'll send the complete mail to the mentors list. Cheers, Johnny ---------- Forwarded message --------- De : 'sttaylor' via Google Summer of Code Mentors List < [email protected]> Date: mar. 14 janv. 2025 à 20:36 Subject: [GSoC Mentors] Google Summer of Code 2025 is here: Org apps open Jan 27! To: Google Summer of Code Mentors List < [email protected]> We are thrilled to announce Google Summer of Code 2025, our 21st year of the program! The blog post will go live at 2000 UTC today on the Google Open Source blog <https://opensource.googleblog.com/> but we wanted to let all of you know first. GSoC 2025 Org Applications are open from Monday, January 27 - Tuesday, Feb 11. What’s new for GSoC 2025? We are looking to bring more security and AI/ML projects into GSoC 2025, a common interest for potential GSoC contributors. If you know of an open source org doing cool things in AI/ML or security please refer them to GSoC. If they have questions you can send them to [email protected]. We will hold multiple sessions for potential GSoC Contributors in mid February - mid March about preparing for the contributor application period that starts on March 24 and ends on April 8.

Explore our resources <https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/resources/>, timeline <https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline>, the Contributor/Student Guide <https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/>and Mentor Guide <https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/>. The GSoC 2025 flyer and slide deck are available on our resources <https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/resources/> page. Have a group you think GSoC should reach out to? Diversity in open source communities is vital to the health of our communities. Please spread the word about GSoC to communities in your country or in your network particularly those that reach underrepresented groups in open source. If you have a suggestion for a group you think the GSoC team should add to our list of contacts that we send out emails to about the program, or if you have a group that you think would be a good opportunity for GSoC Administrators to give a virtual talk about GSoC please email us at [email protected] with their details (email and contact person if you have one available).
