Applicants: please include the sub-org in your proposal title
by Terri Oda April 3, 2025

April 3, 2025

Hey all, Quick reminder: Python is an "umbrella organization" in GSoC which means that we're a collection of smaller "sub-orgs" grouped under a single banner. Please make sure to include the name of the sub-org you're applying to in the title of your gsoc application as it shows in Google's system so we can make sure the correct mentors see it and evaluate it. Python gets a lot of applications and a lot of very spammy AI-generated proposals, so it's very easy for things to get missed or marked as spam if you don't include the sub-org name somewhere. For more application instructions, please see here; https://python-gsoc.org/#apply Terri PSF Org Admin

Inquiry about Google Summer Of Code with Python
by Shraddha Bhambure March 15, 2025

March 15, 2025

Dear GSoC Python Team, I hope you are doing well. I am Shraddha Bhambure from India, and I am in my 2nd year of graduation in Computer Science. I am writing to inquire about opportunities to contribute to open-source projects under Google Summer of Code (GSoC) with Python. As an aspiring developer passionate about open-source contributions, I am eager to understand how I can effectively prepare and contribute to relevant projects. I am fluent in JavaScript and React.js. I would appreciate any guidance on selecting suitable organizations, recommended prerequisites, and best practices for crafting a strong proposal. Additionally, if there are specific Python-based projects or mentors available for guidance, I would love to explore those opportunities. Looking forward to your response and any insights you can share. Best regards, Shraddha B. shradhabhambure(a)gmail.com

Inquiry About Google Summer of Code with Python
by Sohan Suchdev March 13, 2025

March 13, 2025

Dear GSoC Python Team, I hope you're doing well. My name is Sohan Suchdev, and I am an 18-year-old student in Year 13 in the UK. This autumn, I will be starting my undergraduate studies in Computing (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) at Imperial College London. I am very interested in applying for Google Summer of Code with Python. However, I understand that many applicants may have advanced experience, such as master's-level education. While I may not have the same level of experience, I am highly dedicated and a fast learner, with programming experience in Python and Java. Would it still be worth applying if I can demonstrate my ability to quickly adapt and contribute effectively? I would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice you might have for someone in my position. Best regards, Sohan Suchdev

Dear GSoC Python Community, I hope you are all doing well! My name is *Bandi Mamatha*, and I am eager to contribute to Python-based projects as part of *Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025*. I am currently exploring open-source contributions. I would love to engage with the mentors and contributors here to better understand how I can start contributing early, clarify doubts regarding project expectations, and learn about any guidance for first-time GSoC contributors. Could you please share insights on: - How to find and get involved in Python projects that will likely participate in GSoC 2025? - Best practices for early contributions and what mentors look for in applicants? - Any upcoming discussions or opportunities to interact with mentors and past contributors?

GSoC 2025 is coming but not here yet
by Terri Oda Dec. 27, 2024

Dec. 27, 2024

Hey all, Just wanted to give you a heads up that we're waiting on Google to formally announce GSoC 2025 before we get really underway. We want to know if there are any big changes to the program before we start updating our documentation and calling for project ideas. So if you're wondering why we haven't updated the website or anything it's because things are running later than usual this year and hopefully we'll be ramping up in the new year. For students: The instructions for getting started are here: https://python-gsoc.org/index.html#gettingstarted Contributing to *any* open source project can put you a lot higher in our rankings -- most years more than half of our applicants haven't ever had code merged into a project. For mentors: Most of you probably already got the email from Steph and I don't have any new news, but Python is intending to apply this year sometime after we get an announcement and a timeline!
