#gsoc — Public Fediverse posts

Why does GSoC matter for Neuroscience?
Because open-source tools power modern research. Contributors improve reproducibility, scale data analysis, build shared infrastructure, and connect research with clinical applications.

#GSoC #INCF

Some very talented newcomers to FreeBSD are working on #GSoC projects - MPLS, Capsicum, network kboot, embedded systems incl NanoBSD and ESP32 development work, live kernel patching, netlink, & Bluetooth improvements!

https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2026/organizations/the-freebsd-project

Another great community effort all round.

#FreeBSD @FreeBSDFoundation

I kind of hesitated with posting about it here but I'm happy to announce that my project got selected for this years #GSoC under the @typelevel organization!

Over the course of the project I will be prototyping a port of Cats Effect and FS2 for the #Wasm/WASI platform. Support for WASI by #scala compiler(s) is still experimental and I think this is the first time an I/O-heavy library is being ported there

Wow. I'm *so* glad that I've been using Tumbleweed for a decade or more. But I may have to stop recommending openSUSE. Because I can't condone putting ANYONE through "AI-powered onboarding".

Just cut that shit out and give people a proper onboarding guide!

The OpenPrint "AI-powered portal" seems equally dumb on the face of it for causing hallucination-driven issues when people are most in need of accurate information.

And it's disappointing to see that the Summer of Code is being used to integrate slop generation into Drupal.

I'm just hoping that DigiKam is basically doing a nice, sensible embedding-based search.

It's great that people want to get involved. I just wish that they all wanted to (positively) contribute.

FreeBSD on 2026 Google Summer of Code: NanoBSD Reimagined, Live-patching for the FreeBSD kernel, Native MPLS Support, Bluetooth Support for HID Devices... #GSoC #FreeBSD https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2026/organizations/the-freebsd-project

Many join GSoC, few sustain impact since 2011 with 20+ projects most years. At INCF, projects do not end in August, they evolve into tools, integrate into ecosystems, and keep serving neuroscience.

V Google Summer of Code #GSOC byly schváleny projekty. Pro #LibreOffice se jedná o 4 projekty: podpora importu JPEG XL, podpora opentype fontů v Math a opravy v Math, nové testy pro Writer a vylepšení integrace JabRef - správce citací.

In this year's GSoC GNOME will mentor 6 new contributors! Congratulations!!

They will be working on things like implementing native uninstallation support to App Grid, enabling recovery from GPU resets and more!

KDE will mentor twelve projects in this year's Google Summer of Code.

Broaching from classics like Okular, KStars and digiKam, to new arrivals such as Drawy, Mankala, and keepSecret, we look forward to a productive summer with, lots of learning and lots of commits.

Thank you 🫶 to everyone who submitted a #GSoC proposal to work with us over the summer! We received 190 proposals and it’s been really tough to narrow it down to the 3-6 we are able to provide mentors for. We’ll hear from Google on confirmed projects next week - looking forward to it!

#TIL that European Summer of Code is a thing! Great initiative and nice to see also the presence of so many good open source projects participate as mentors.

🤮 Gotta love the old white men (it's always old white men) slinging slop advertisements for their current and former employers on the Google Summer of Code mailing lists.

:notAI: There is literally no sacred space where they won't spread their sycophancy for billionaires' latest project to pillage public resources and disempower society.

Hello! I am new to Google summer of code and I'm wondering if anyone knows how the application process works. I opened the website this morning and the button is still grayed out, but it also seems like I was supposed to be emailing the organizations already from their video. Where am I supposed to start? 😅 #gsoc #developers #blog #programming

GIMP has again been accepted as part of the Google Summer of Code project - see the link for details and some project ideas.

We have a no-AI policy: in particular we need people who will understand the code they write :-) and write code that we can maintain.

JabRef meets GIt - for easier collaboration!

Thanks to our #GSOC contributor, Wanling, JabRef now supports experimental integration with #git and #GitHub to simplify collaboration.
The cool thing is that you don't need to know anything about Git or its details.
The heart of the new feature is the fantastic semantic conflict resolution, which works on an entry/field basis.

For the Python programmers under you who wanted to make your app print, you probably have used pyCUPS to talk with the printing system. Perhaps you have also seen that it is not well maintained, not keeping pace with new APIs. Problem was its design, being a maintenance nightmare.

But for libcups3 it gets much better, thanks to the most Pythonic GSoC contributor we ever had, and CFFI:

The #LinuxFoundation will mentor 21 contributors in the Google Summer of Code 2025!! #GSoC

Despite having lined up many more proposals than last year we got the same amount of slots.

11 for #OpenPrinting, 3 for #AGL (Automotive Grade Linux, 2 for each of #SPDX and #IIO (Industrial I/O), and 1 for each of #SOF (Sound Open Firmware), #Zephyr, and #KWorkflow.

See Google's announcements of the projects:

https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2025/organizations/the-linux-foundation

After years, we’re still revisiting a new #GSoC proposal to implement #NURBS functions in #Blender, another ambitious project. I’m skeptical: wouldn’t it be better to leverage existing tools like FreeCAD’s #OCCT kernel and wrappers such as PythonOCC, which already provide ready-to-use solutions? A native implementation would require advanced mathematical and programming expertise, which a beginner (still learning C++) would struggle to master in just a few weeks of development. #b3d #CAD
