It is once again that pre-GSoC time of year where I go around asking GNOME developers for project ideas they are willing to mentor during Google Summer of Code . GSoC is approaching fast, and we should aim to get a preliminary list of project ideas by the end of January.

Internships offer an opportunity for new contributors to join our community and help us build the software we love.

@Mentors , please submit new proposals in our Project Ideas GitLab repository .

Proposals will be reviewed by the GNOME Internship Committee and posted at https://gsoc.gnome.org/2026 . If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us .
