GNOME will be mentoring 8 new contributors for Google Summer of Code 2024

We are happy to announce that GNOME was assigned eight slots for Google Summer of Code projects this year!

GSoC is a program focused on bringing new contributors into open source software development. A number of long term GNOME developers are former GSoC interns, making the program a very valuable entry point for new members in our project.

In 2024 we will mentoring the following projects:

Improve Tracker SPARQL developer experience by creating “web IDE” for developing queriesrachle08Carlos Garnacho
Add support for the latest GIR attributes and gi-docgen formatting to Valadocsudhanshuv1Lorenz Wildberg

As part of the contributor’s acceptance into GSoC they are expected to actively participate in the Community Bonding period (May 1 – 26). The Community Bonding period is intended to help prepare contributors to start contributing at full speed starting May 27.

The new contributors will soon get their blogs added to Planet GNOME making it easy for the GNOME community to get to know them and the projects that they will be working on.

We would like to also thank our mentors for supporting GSoC and helping new contributors enter our project.

If you have any doubts, feel free to reply to this Discourse topic or message us privately at soc-admins@gnome.org

Unfortunately #KDEConnect & friends don't have a great power-saving story, yet.

This would be a neat idea for an #Outreachy or #GSoC applicant, since it would require some creative thinking.

Part of the problem here, is that the power consumption and wake-ups are *usually* caused by the remote device, not the local one. For example, a remote device sending MPRIS track switch + album art update every ~3 minutes.


And #FOSDEM #FOSDEM2024 is not only my 2 talks ...

It will start with inflight sessions with @pemensik, working on Avahi, and others from Red Hat.

In the evening I will have a dinner with Canonical/Ubuntu colleages and friends: @linuxflower @3v1n0 @laney @kewisch @popey and more

Saturday evening I will meet #GSoC mentor fellows on a GSoC evening event and afterwards join the #GNOME #GNOMEbeers

I will visit booths of GSoC and #Thunderbird @thunderbird @killyourfm

Now, @Aryan20 is presenting at #GNOMEAsia2023 about @gnome extensions and the ecosystem. How do extensions fit into the desktop scene?

He builds on his work done as a #GSoC intern and why the flexibility and customization of the desktop grows the success of the #OpenSource ecosystem.
