OpenAFS Accepted as Mentoring Organization for Google Summer of Code 2025!

Feb. 28, 2025 - PRLog -- This is a fantastic opportunity for us to engage with talented students and contribute to the growth and development of OpenAFS.

Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers students stipends to write code for open-source projects. It's a win-win situation: students gain valuable real-world experience, and OpenAFS benefits from fresh perspectives and contributions.

We are excited to welcome aspiring developers to our community and work
alongside them on exciting projects. This program allows us to:

* Introduce new contributors to OpenAFS: We can bring in fresh talent and
expand our community.

* Advance OpenAFS development: Students will work on meaningful projects that
benefit the entire OpenAFS ecosystem.

* Mentor and guide future open-source developers: We can share our expertise
and contribute to the growth of the open-source community.

What's Next?

* General information about OpenAFS and GSoC can be found here:

* We encourage all interested students to familiarize themselves with OpenAFS
and review the project ideas at https://www.openafs.org/gsoc/project-ideas.html

important dates and deadlines.

We are looking forward to a successful GSoC 2025 and are eager to see the innovative contributions that students will bring to OpenAFS.
