Applications for GSoC 2024 opened very recently and close on February 6. All of our information is in order on their website. Before submitting, we just need to ensure that our project-ideas repository is in good shape:

If there are any project ideas you'd like to add, feel free to do so. Just please pay attention to the README. Also, please keep the following in mind (from the GSoC FAQ):

The GSoC 2024 program has some flexibility in the schedule for projects. The length of time allowed to complete a project can range from 10 weeks to 22 weeks for medium and large projects with the standard length of 12 weeks. Small projects can range from 8 to 12 weeks. GSoC Contributors and their mentors can decide together if a project should be extended to end a couple of weeks or so later.

If you're willing to be a mentor for a GSoC project, please let me know.

As for SAOC, the three participants submitted their final reports before January 22nd and the judges have reached a decision. I've informed the participants of their status. I'll announce the results as soon as all three have acknowledged my email.
