Am I right that there are zero Fediverse projects on the #GSoC2026 list?

We are happy to once again participate in the Google Summer of Code program, under the umbrella of the @INCF .
This year, Weiyuan Du (@sinyita) will work on Brian2CUDA (Brian's GPU acceleration package), ironing out bugs and making it easier to use. More details in this announcement: https://brian.discourse.group/t/gsoc2026-fix-outstanding-issues-in-brian2cuda/1560

Looking forward to a productive summer 🌞

🎉 We are thrilled to be mentoring Pranav Angrish and Shashaank Srivastava during Google Summer of Code 2026! They will be working on 2 challenging projects: bridging the gap between natural language input (e.g., via LLMs) and executable program code, as well as implementing a QGIS plugin for our weather routing tool (WRT).
