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
