GNOME Welcomes Its Google Summer of Code 2025 Contributors!

We are happy to announce that five contributors are joining the GNOME community as part of GSoC 2025!

This year’s contributors will work on backend isolation in GNOME Papers, adding eBPF profiling to Sysprof, adding printing support in GNOME Crosswords, and Vala’s XML/JSON/YAML integration improvements. Let’s give them a warm welcome!

In the coming days, our new contributors will begin onboarding in our community channels and services. Stay tuned to Planet GNOME to read their introduction blog posts and learn more about their projects.

This is a couple of days past, but I couldn't get my spoons together enough to write this till now.

Many of you know James Lopeman, mostly by the name of Meflin. He's a @ThePSF Fellow, been an Admin and Mentor for #GSoC , and been around the open source world, quietly in the background as is his way, for many many a year.

Meflin passed somewhat suddenly on Wednesday the 16th.

It was natural causes nothing too crazy there.

He was the absolute pinnacle of why, we in the open source world, need to care more about the folks who don't code. Those that deal with infrastructure, or people, or anything else that isn't just the code. We are fundamentally better off with them in our communities.

So in his honor, go drink some tea, be a giant grump, and remind folks that "No. is a complete sentence".

In the words of Terry Pratchett:

GNU James "Meflin" Lopeman

Share around, because I think this is bigger than just him, but I think everyone needs to hear what he at least meant to me.

Have a terrible headache today, but Doctor Hatch (dogtor!) is here to make sure I don't move and throw up my painkillers before they take effect.

Headache is definitely related to rejecting ~250 low-quality Python #gsoc proposals yesterday. Too much screen time and not enough sleep. I saw the signs but I really wanted to get the first pass done so no one else had to look through so many. There's still plenty of trash, that was just the ones that obviously didn't follow *any* of the instructions. There's 40 mentors who will help with sorting out the other 330 and evaluating them properly.

Ugh, Python got over 500 #GSoC applications this year and so many of them are absolutely trash, didn't follow any of the instructions. Most years about half of our applications are like this. But usually we have a lot fewer applicants and the submissions were blank files not plausible AI nonsense.

So I'm stuck reading hundreds of incredibly low quality nonsensical submissions today in hopes to take some workload off my other unpaid volunteer mentors. This is not the volunteer gig I signed up for 15 years ago when it was mostly working with new contributors and not their AI chatbots and I'm grumpy.

OSM has been accepted as a mentoring organization for this year’s #GoogleSummerOfCode, a global program that offers students and new open source developers stipends to write code for open source software projects.
