Hello everyone,

We are hosting an OpenWISP GSoC Open House on Wednesday, March 6, 2024, at 1:00 PM UTC. This is a great opportunity for you to learn more about Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and how you can contribute to OpenWISP, a network management system that allows managing and automating several aspects of a network.

In this online event, you will be able to interact with our mentors and current contributors, ask any questions you may have about GSoC, OpenWISP, or open source in general, and get some tips and guidance on how to prepare and submit a successful GSoC proposal.
