Dear All,
FYI, the GSoC Contributor proposal period has started. This email is a gentle reminder to the potential GSoC contributors interested in participating in GSoC 2025.
If you are a contributor interested in contributing to the geospatial open source with OSGeo as an umbrella organization, then this is high time:
- To go through the OSGeo GSoC 2025 project ideas list [1]. Make sure to check the list frequently, as it is being updated regularly with new ideas.
- Contact the project mentors via the Developers’ mailing list or the community chat channels to discuss the project idea/ideas of your interest.
- Start working on the proposal draft and share it with the community as soon as possible to receive feedback and comments.
Please go through the GSoC Contributors/Students Guide [2] to get an overall understanding of the problem. From Google admins: “GSoC Contributors who engage with their organization early (and often) are more likely to be accepted and then succeed”.
Remember to submit your proposal well in advance, so that you can make the most out of the feedback from mentors and the community at large and refine your proposal until the final deadline. Read the application instructions here [3]. The same page contains all the info you need before taking action, so please read it carefully.
Please note that the contributor application period starts March 24, 2025 - 18:00 UTC and all the student proposals must be submitted before April 8, 2025 - 18:00 UTC. Please don’t wait for the deadline. Refer to the GSoC Timeline [4] for more details.
We are looking forward to working with you toward another awesome edition of GSoC! Good luck everyone!
Please forward this email to your developer and community mailing list.
Kind regards,
Your OSGeo GSoC Admins
