>> Hi,
>>
>> Are there people willing to help co-admin this year? For now, we are 3 admins so one more would be nice to share the workload.
>>
>> I've updated the skeleton wiki page to create the 2023 season: https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2023/Ideas.
>>
>> Please start discussing among your teams what ideas will be great to have this year and who is willing to mentor, as the organisation application date needs to apply between the January 23 - Feb 7, 2023 and we need a wiki page filled with ideas by then.
>>

>>
>> We’re pleased to [announce](https://opensource.googleblog.com/2022/11/get-ready-for-google-summer-of-code-2023.html) the Google Summer of Code 2023 program and [timeline](https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline). GSoC Org Applications are open from January 23 - Feb 7, 2023.
>>
>> In 2022 we implemented our biggest changes to the program in its 18 year history and had an overwhelmingly positive response to the changes (extended timelines, medium and large size projects and opening eligibility beyond students) so we are keeping the changes as we go into 2023 with a couple of minor tweaks.
>>
>> -
>>
>> Per the conversation on the mentor list this summer, we are expanding the eligibility to include students and beginners to open source development. There was some confusion about students who might have some experience in open source so we have fixed that with this new eligibility rule.
>>
>> -
>>
>> The other change is that we are back to allowing a person to be accepted as a GSoC Contributor up to 2 times (regardless of when their first GSoC acceptance was). This assumes they could still be considered a beginner - ie. they didn’t participate as a GSoC student in 2015 and have been actively involved in open source development since then and want to come back 8 years later to be a GSoC Contributor.
>>
>> -
>>
>> We have shifted the timeline to start a couple of weeks earlier, so that the program wraps up for the standard 12 week projects by early September which is generally what the schedule looked like for many of the past 18 years.
>>
>> Spreading the word about GSoC
>>
>> The [GSoC 2023 flyer](https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/resources/downloads/GSoC2023Flyer.pdf) and the new, more colorful and exciting [GSoC 2023 slides](https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/resources/downloads/GSoC2023Presentation.pdf) are available for you to use in any presentations you wish to do about GSoC. We need your help to spread the word amongst your circles.
>>
>> We encourage you to explore our [resources](https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/resources/),[timeline](https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline), the [Contributor/Student Guide](https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/)and [Mentor Guide](https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/) as well.
>>
>> Have a group you think GSoC Program Admins should reach out to?
>>
>> Diversity in open source communities is vital to the health of our communities. Please spread the word about GSoC to communities in your country or in your network particularly those that reach underrepresented groups in open source. If you have a suggestion for a group you think the GSoC team should add to our list of contacts that we send out emails to about the program early in the new year, or if you have a group that you think would be a good opportunity for GSoC Administrators to give a talk about GSoC please email us at gsoc-support at google.com with their details (email and contact person if you have one available).
>>
>> See you at FOSDEM!
>>
>> As Chris mentioned in the GSoC 22 Mentor Summit a couple of weeks ago, our team is very excited to attend FOSDEM in Brussels in 2023. We will send more details in January but we are in the early stages of planning a GSoC Meetup for Saturday night during FOSDEM as we have done in previous years. Looking forward to seeing many of you in Brussels in February!
>>
>> GSoC Videos
>>
>> We have been busy working with our mentors and GSoC contributors to create new GSoC videos as they are a popular medium for new folks to learn about GSoC.
>>
>> A HUGE thank you to our mentors that helped with the new ‘[Introduction to Google Summer of Code’ video](https://youtu.be/7jD2tChhrWM) (Adrian, Benjamin, Ann, Rāzvan, Meenakshi, Srishti and Gabriel). And thanks to our mentors and org admins that created [25 GSoC Org videos](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxNYxgaZ8RscKC8NFOyQK2YdMCrM9Gb5A) helping interested participants understand more about the many types of projects available in GSoC. And finally a huge thank you to the mentors and org admins that have volunteered to be a part of our [Community Talk](https://youtu.be/va_ODtap-pk) series - the 2nd one is November 15th.
>>
>> GSoC 2022 Wrap Up Coming in December
>>
>> In early December, after the 2022 program has officially ended, we will send out notes and themes we have collected from all of the mentor and GSoC contributor evaluations for 2022 to this list.
>>
>> Thank you all for GSoC 2022, we look forward to our 19th year in 2023!
>>
>> Best,
>>
>> Stephanie, Romina and Perry
