☀️ Contribution Process for Google Summer of Code 2025 ☀️

[SableRaf]

Hi there!

Here are some things to keep in mind if you're interested in applying to this year's Google Summer of Code with the p5.js Editor!

Where Can I Find This Year's Projects?

Please check out the full list of projects across the Processing Foundation on our 2025 Project List page.

How Can I Start My Contributions?

For folks interested in applying for this year's Google Summer of Code, we recommend that each contributor makes 2 Pull Requests maximum for better management and proposal review. Please feel free to specify on your 2 pull requests that you're interested in applying for GSoC and list them within your proposals.

If you're interested in applying for the program and have already submitted 2 pull requests, we do not recommend you to submit any further. We strongly encourage folks to dedicate lots of time researching the project areas, reflecting on the existing issues, and crafting their proposals.

How Long Will It Take for My Pull Request to Be Reviewed?

We typically aim to respond to incoming issues and pull requests within 1-2 weeks, though we might not always catch them all! If there hasn't been any engagement with your submission, feel free to add a comment if the 2 week timeframe has passed.

What if I Have Other Questions?

If you have any other questions, check out this Discourse thread! Feel free to introduce yourself and ask any other questions you might have there!

Hi @SableRaf, I had a quick question regarding the application process. For applying to the Visual Tests project in Processing4, should I specifically mention just two PRs in my proposal, or is it fine to list all my contributions across the Processing Foundation?

Additionally, for my existing approved PRs, would you recommend adding a note mentioning my interest in GSoC, or is that only necessary for new PRs?

Hi @Rishab87. Great question! To keep things manageable, we're centralizing all GSoC-related discussions in the Discourse thread. Could you post your question there? Kit will be happy to answer.
