Hi, anybody here is experienced in Rust (perhaps even also in creating bindings for a C library/API) and would like to mentor a #GSoC contributor for OpenPrinting? The contributor will work a total of 3 months full-time (or 350 hours) in the time from May to November this year on the project and they will get a stipend from Google.
Only additional requirements are a minimum age of 18 and not to want to participate as GSoC contributor this year or in any later year.

Google has signed a contract with Israel to supply Tech support used in the Palestinian genocide. A US$1.2 billion deal, with Amazon in the mix.
It's not the first time Google has been implicated in this type of crime.
Google obeys the every command of Trump-musk fascism, the Gulf of Mexico is just the one example that makes you laugh.
So when you have google main sponsor of FOSDEM and debian going dancing to GSoC, and many others in the FLOSS and Open movement doing the same,
I say to you straight out:
You're embracing fascism, you're legitimizing genocide, you're part of the problem!

You are using #LibreOffice but don't want to create or modify a complex citation style for your needs?
Thanks to our #GSOC contributor, you can now choose from the vast amount of #CSL styles in JabRef and use them together with LibreOffice.

Stepping down as GNOME Internships organizer
For the past nine years, I’ve been actively involved in our internship initiatives with Google Summer of Code and Outreachy. As an alumnus of these programs, I firmly believe they are great ways to onboard new contributors to GNOME and help students start a career in open-source software.
However, as my work responsibilities have grown and I’ve started some personal (non-software) projects, I’ve found myself with less time and energy for this type of contribution.
I’ve been discussing this with key people over the past year, and I plan to stay around to hand over responsibilities to other members of the Internship Committee. I will continue helping manage things for 2024, but I won’t be directly involved beyond that.
If you’re interested in helping with these activities, please reach out to the GNOME Internship Committee.

Next week I will travel to #GUADEC #GUADEC2024 to Denver, CO, in the US.
Perhaps some of you have read my #OpenPrinting News from May where I tell that 2004 was a magic year and so we have a lot 20th anniversaries in FOSS now.
And the 2 keynotes on GUADEC are about 2 of them: Ryan Sipes, CEO of #Thunderbird @thunderbird and Stephanie Taylor, program lead of #GSoC!

I've read it here already, so chances are you did as well. It is true: I will make Papers – the soon-to-be default document viewer in GNOME – work on mobile, while improving the UI in general.
I'm granted a #gsoc stipend to work on Papers – together with my mentor @pabloyoyoista. We looked into some things today, already.
I'm excited to make Linux on Mobile a viable alternative for more people. But probably you knew that already, from my other involvements.
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:
| Project Title | Contributor | Assigned Mentor(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Add TypeScript Support to Workbench | Angelo Verlain Shema | Sonny Piers |
| Port Workbench demos to Vala, build a new Workbench Library, and replace the current code search | Bharat Tyagi | Sonny Piers |
| Improve Tracker SPARQL developer experience by creating a “web IDE” for developing queries | Demigod | Carlos Garnacho |
| Papers’ small screen and touch support for mobile and tablet | Markus Göllnitz | Pablo Correa Gomez |
| More durable synching for FlatSync | Mattia Formichetti | Rasmus Thomsen |
| Port libipuz to Rust | pranjal_ | jrb |
| Improve Tracker SPARQL developer experience by creating “web IDE” for developing queries | rachle08 | Carlos Garnacho |
| Add support for the latest GIR attributes and gi-docgen formatting to Valadoc | sudhanshuv1 | Lorenz 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

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.
