Dear all, regarding the Google Summer of Code I would like to send a kind reminder. You can start reading here: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Google_Summer_of_Code_2026 If you and your project are interested, please list good ideas. As I know that the interest in the program has very much declined over the recent years, I still would like to promote this a opportunity. Besides the 350 and 175 hours, Google offers to also have just a 90 hours length. This might lower barriers and let reconsider to introduce people working with XMPP rather than expecting them to implement heavy lifting such as MUC or A/V. The 90 hours could also be taken to do this as a more academic implementation and working with rather simple topics but increase interest in the technology. Another thing to reconsider is finding people through talks with your community but also in your local sphere such as university and contacts you have and that might be suitable. - https://mov.im/community/news.xmpp.org/News/e65a1483-2449-4eb7-b1fd-09f3641… - https://fosstodon.org/@xmpp/115805273794678126 - https://bsky.app/profile/xmpp-official.bsky.social/post/3mb5vxmszad2b Best regards, Eddie On 05/12/2025 19:47, E.M. wrote:
