Dear Mentors, PMC's, I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of accepted organizations for Google Summer of Code 2025! [1] [2]
It is now time for mentors to sign up, so please pass this email on to your community and podlings. If you aren’t already subscribed to ment...@community.apache.org you should do so now else you might miss important information. Mentor signup requires two steps: mentor signup in Google's system [3] and PMC acknowledgement. If you want to mentor a project in this year's GSoC you will have to 1. Be an Apache committer. 2. Request an *acknowledgement* from the PMC for which you want to mentor projects. Use the *below template *and *do not forget to copy ment...@community.apache.org*. We will use the email address you indicate to send the invite to be a mentor for Apache. *PMCs, read carefully, please.* We request that each mentor is acknowledged by a PMC member. This is to ensure the mentor is in good standing with the community. When you receive a request for acknowledgement, please ACK it and cc ment...@community.apache.org Lastly, it is not yet too late to record your ideas in Jira (see the previous emails for details). GSoC participants will now begin to explore ideas ( https://s.apache.org/gsoc2025ideas ) so if you haven’t already done so, record your ideas immediately! Cheers, Sanyam *Mentor request email template:* ---- to: private@<project>.apache.org cc: ment...@community.apache.org subject: GSoC 2025 mentor request for <mentor name> <project> PMC, Please acknowledge my request to become a mentor for Google Summer of Code 2025 projects for the Apache Software Foundation <project>.
