Google Summer of Code 2025 is here: Org apps open Jan 27 and Contributor apps open March 24
Stephanie
We are thrilled to announce Google Summer of Code 2025, our 21st year of the program!
GSoC 2025 Org Applications are open from Monday, January 27 - Tuesday, Feb 11.
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 gsoc-s...@google.com.

We will be hosting a GSoC 2025 Mentoring Organization Application Tips talk on Wednesday, January 22 at 1700 UTC to help clear up questions folks might have as they get ready to apply to be mentoring organizations in GSoC 2025 from January 27 - February 11.
If you are not able to attend the talk we will also be adding a link to the slide deck after the conclusion of the talk on this list so you can reference it.

Spreading the word about GSoCWe need your help to spread the word amongst your circles about GSoC.
Explore our resources, timeline, the Contributor/Student Guide and Mentor Guide. The GSoC 2025 flyer and slide deck are available on our resources page.
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 gsoc-s...@google.com with their details (email and contact person if you have one available).
