Dear All,
This is a gentle reminder to submit the project ideas for OSGeo’s participation in Google Summer of Code 2026. So far, we have only received the ideas submission from the pgRouting project: https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/wiki/GSoC-Ideas%3A-2026 Feel free to reach out to the OSGeo GSoC Admins if you have any questions or concerns.
