Hi everyone 
GSoC 2027 has not yet been announced. In the meantime, please check the many resources here, or introduce yourself below!
Important to keep in mind: if you make PRs in a way that is consistently disruptive, your account may be suspended, and your GSoC application may be rejected. This includes clear violations of the AI Usage Policy of contributor guidelines for different projects (e.g., p5.js guidelines are here - but other projects have different ones! Check the source code repositories for links!) This also includes sending direct messages to maintainers (who are mostly volunteers) asking very urgently for review.
The Processing Foundation is a non-profit organization, and our open source projects are maintained largely by volunteers. Please be mindful of how your behavior affects others, and respect the time and effort of the people maintaining these projects. Repeatedly disregarding our contribution guidelines may result in temporary or permanent ban. If you’re considering applying for GSoC 2027, please be aware that we will reject applications from contributors whose activity has been disruptive or has repeatedly created unnecessary work for maintainers.
We do our best to assume goodwill, and provide feedback and warnings. Even if an account is suspended, it is usually temporary (30 days). However, if violations are repeated, or when users try to circumvent the ban, the suspension will be permanent, and if there’s a future GSoC application it will not be considered.
Processing Foundation does not require a PR for consideration, but we do require that conduct in all online community spaces is helpful and considerate. That includes being mindful that most maintainers, stewards, and reviewers are volunteers. There are many ways to contribute, and hey all begin with understanding how the community works and finding ways to be constructive and helpful! You are welcome to ask questions or share ideas about this below.
This year, @clairep94 is also supporting as a GSoC org admin, so we’ll be back on this thread regularly when there are news to share from the GSoC team.
Best,
Kit (org admin for GSoC @ PF)
