+Hello, everyone!
+
+We're writing this blog post to announce that the Apache OpenDAL™ Project will
be participating in [Google Summer of Code (GSoC)
2024](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/). If you're not eligible or
interested in participating in GSoC, then most of this post likely isn't
relevant to you; if you are, this should contain some useful information and
links.
+
+Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is an annual global program organized by Google
that aims to bring new contributors to the world of open-source. The program
pairs organizations (such as the OpenDAL Project) with contributors (usually
students), with the goal of helping the participants make meaningful
open-source contributions under the guidance of experienced mentors.
+
+Google is sponsoring the [2024 Summer of
Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) and [The Apache Software
Foundation](https://www.apache.org/) (ASF) registered as a mentoring
organization. The GSoC applicants now have several weeks to send project
proposals to organizations that appeal to them. If their project proposal is
accepted, they will embark on a 12-week journey during which they will try to
complete their proposed project under the guidance of an assigned mentor.
+
+We have prepared [a list of project
ideas](https://github.com/apache/opendal/issues/4131) that can serve as
inspiration for potential GSoC contributors that would like to send a project
proposal to the OpenDAL project. However, applicants can also come up with
their own project ideas. You can discuss project ideas or try to find mentors
on the [maillist](mailto:[email protected]) or
[Discord](https://discord.gg/XQy8yGR2dg). We have also prepared [a proposal
guide](https://opendal.ap [...]
+
+You can start discussing the project ideas with OpenDAL Project maintainers
immediately. The project proposal application period starts on March 18, 2024,
and ends on April 2, 2024 at 18:00 UTC. Take note of that deadline, as there
will be no extensions!
+
+If you are interested in contributing to the OpenDAL Project, we encourage you
to check out our project idea list and send us a GSoC project proposal! Of
course, you are also free to discuss these projects and/or try to move them
forward even if you do not intend to (or cannot) participate in GSoC. We
welcome all contributors to OpenDAL, as there is always enough work to do.
+
+We are excited about this event. Hoping you all feel the same way!
+
+> This announcement is inspired a lot by the [Rust participates in Google
Summer of Code
2024](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/02/21/Rust-participates-in-GSoC-2024.html).
