Im making this post since we are now in October and ive seen an increase in the number of new contributors mentioning that they are interested in contributing because of reasons related to GSoC.
GSoC is Google Summer of Code, and opportunity for contributors to open source projects to get a grant to fund their work for a summer. Find out more at https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/
Current Status
There are currently no plans for this project to participate in GSoC in 2027.
History
Back in 2025, the project that CollectOSS was based on (Augur) participated in 2025. The maintainers who managed the process at the time got flooded with more applications than they could handle, many of which were AI generated.
This led to the decision to not participate in GSoC 2026.
Since that decision, this project has gone through a fork, which resulted in both a new project name, and a reduction in the number of active maintainers.
Without more maintainers, or substantial assistance and policy changes from Google, it is not currently sustainable for us to participate in GSoC.
We welcome any contributions any time of year that are made in line with our standards (see CONTRIBUTING.md). If you have questions, please reach out via the CHAOSS Slack in the #wg-collectoss-8knot channel to chat with other maintainers/contributors.
