Do you want to learn more about Gentoo and contribute to your favourite
free software project?! Once again, now for the 11th time,
[we have been accepted](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2023/organizations/gentoo-foundation) as 
a mentoring organization for this year's [Google Summer of Code](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2023)!

The GSoC is an excellent opportunity for gaining real-world experience 
in software design and making oneself known in the broader open source 
community. It also looks great on a resume. Some initial project ideas can 
be [found here](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2023/Ideas), but
new projects ideas are also welcome. For new projects time is of the essence: 
they have to be worked out, discussed with the mentors, and submitted before 
the ***April 4th deadline***. It is strongly recommended that contributors
refine new project ideas with a mentor *before* proposing the idea formally.

Potential GSoC contributors are encouraged to e-mail the [GSoC admins](mailto:soc-admins@gentoo.org)
with their name, IRC nickname, and the desired project, and discuss ideas in the
[#gentoo-soc](https://web.libera.chat/?channels=#gentoo-soc) IRC channel on 
Libera Chat. Further information can be found on the [Gentoo GSoC 2023 wiki 
page](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2023). Those with 
unanswered questions should also not hesitate to contact the [Summer of Code
mentors via their mailing list](mailto:soc-mentors@gentoo.org).
