Tua re agitur – it's about us:
The Google Summer of Code is much more than an internship or funding program. Everywhere, in the many projects and mentorships, our shared vision is being further developed: Free Software, openness, and collaboration. Many applications we use daily – GIMP, Inkscape, Krita, Blender, FreeCAD, and many more – were improved or enhanced with new features this summer as part of the GSoC.️What happens here directly impacts our daily work, our tools, and our ideas about open development.
Tua re agitur – it's about all of us.
Some example projects (2025)
GIMP:
Gabriele Barbero – GEGL Filter Browser
Ondřej Míchal – Plug-in Development Browser
SamIsTheFBI – Online Extensions Registry
FreeCAD:
Sayantan Deb – Interadtive 3D-Controls
Chirag Singh – Export to 3D-PDF
Theo VT – Parallel work on several Documents
