Dear All,

We are happy and elated to announce that OSGeo has been accepted once again as a mentor organization for GSoC 2026 [0].

  1. The list of accepted organizations is at [1]. Our OSGeo GSoC 2026 application is available at [2].

  2. Please note the Potential GSoC contributors (Student + Professional) discuss application ideas with the mentoring organizations from February 19 - March 15, 2026. So, be ready to be flooded with queries by potential contributors in the coming period. :slightly_smiling_face:

  3. GSoC contributors will be able to register and submit their applications from March 16 - March 31, 2026. All proposals must be submitted by March 31, 2026, at 18:00 UTC.

  4. Mentors of the projects who have already updated their ideas in the OSGeo GSoC 2026 ideas list, kindly fill out the Google Form [3] so that we can start sending the invitations.

We still have time for more projects to participate with ideas [4].

It is a good opportunity to:

  • Add functionality to your projects.

  • Attract more contributors participating in the projects, times they become long-term contributors.

OSGeo projects, Incubating projects, and community projects are welcome.

Note:

If you are interested in joining the Organization Administration team and have been involved with the OSGeo GSoC initiative in the past with rich experience, please reach out to us.
