Finding the right org to contribute got a lot easier. Explore different orgs across 7 different open-source programs like GSoC, C4GT, LFX, ESoC, Outreachy, SoB etc here.

I have launched OpenOrganizations (https://openorganizations.site/) a directory that brings organizations, project history and public proposal examples from seven open-source programs into one place.

It currently includes 800+ organizations and 300+ public proposals across GSoC, LFX, Summer of Bitcoin, ESoC, Outreachy, C4GT, and Season of KDE.

You can filter by technology, program, year, and available terms, explore participation graphs and project lists, and find smaller communities within umbrella organizations. I’ve attached a short demo.

Inspired by the OG gsocorganizations website to make it intuitive to use.

Website: https://openorganizations.site/

This is the first public release. Feedback on the filters, missing communities, or useful proposal archives would help me improve it.

Please star the repo if you find it useful 🍪 https://github.com/satwiksps/openorganizations

🔥Why do mosquitoes pee while drinking blood ?

A mosquito was sucking my blood. Upon observing I saw she was spraying water from her back. What might be the reason. She is full now and can't even fly anymore..lol

Passed my GSoC midterm evaluation. Gonna do something useful with this stipend 😋

GSoC has been on my bucket list since I was in class 9. Now I am in my 3rd year of Btech. I don't know how much resume value it will hold in this AI era but I am happy to get into 🙂‍↕️

[edit] For those who want to know more about GSoC: Watch any GSoC roadmap on YouTube i recommend Harkirat Singh. Find some orgs here: https://www.gsocorganizations.dev/ And proposals here: https://github.com/satwiksps/GSoC_archive_2026

About to start asking for referrals and applying to job roles. Too afraid of rejection. What more to improve ?

Couldn't get any onsite internship. Only did some open source contributions.

Please give suggestions to improve my chances of selection.

Back to Newbie again 😭

Last 2 contests, I solved more questions than I used to solve. I was confident I did better and my rating would increase, but I lost my Pupil rank also TT

Does anyone else think, suddenly so many people are joining contests and many are doing very well ??

Can it be that due to begining of placement season, human LLMs are joining more and more !!

Hey everyone, first off, congratulations & same pinch to everyone who got accepted into Google Summer of Code this year!

When I was writing my own proposal, one of the most helpful things I did was read through past accepted (and rejected) proposals to get a feel for the expected structure, timeline, and level of detail. To keep paying this forward, I have set up a central repository to archive GSoC 2026 proposals:

https://github.com/satwiksps/GSoC_archive_2026

If you applied this year, whether you were accepted or rejected, it would be a huge help to the open-source community if you could contribute your proposal.

There are also links in the README to the 2025 and 2024 archives if you are a future applicant looking for inspiration right now.

If you are planning to apply next year, feel free to star the repo so you have it bookmarked for when you need it. Let me know if you run into any issues with the PR process!

Anyone got contacted by their org ?

was feeling stressed about the selection process, so I did some digging. I am not 100% sure this is perfect, but here’s a simplified breakdown of how it works:

Step 1: You apply. You submit your proposal.

Step 2: Mentor review. Mentors check if you meet their baseline requirements (like making at least 1 PR or being active on Slack etc).

Step 3: Interviews (sometimes). This totally depends on the org and the mentor.

Step 4: The Org's Priority List. At this point, our part is done. The org ranks their top contributors across all their projects into one master priority list. They have to do this without knowing how many contributor slots Google will actually give them.

Step 5: The org sends their ranked list to Google and requests a certain number of slots google decides how many they actually get (which can be less than requested).

Step 6: The Final Cut. Let's say the org gets 2 slots from Google. The top 2 people on their priority list get accepted.

Note: If the #2 person gets accepted into a different org that they prioritised higher, they drop off this list, and the #3 person gets the selection..
