once upon a time somebody had concerns about a #GSoC proposal to #MusicBrainz and whether they were going to be receptive to a flood of vibe-coded edits to the database.

i just saw that they have published a very clear statement. fwiw. emphasis theirs

We discourage the use of AI tools in communications and contributions.

The goal of GSoC is for you to learn and improve your skills, not just to finish your project at any cost. However, if you do use any AI or LLMs, you must disclose their use in your PRs and/or conversations with your mentor. Additionally, you must fully understand and be able to explain any AI-generated code you submit. Any undisclosed use of AI or Large Language Models, or inability to explain AI-generated contributions, will be grounds for instant disqualification.

Hello! I am new to Google summer of code and I'm wondering if anyone knows how the application process works. I opened the website this morning and the button is still grayed out, but it also seems like I was supposed to be emailing the organizations already from their video. Where am I supposed to start? 😅 #gsoc #developers #blog #programming

A huge milestone for Joomla!

One of our past Google Summer of Code projects is now officially part of the Joomla core — and we couldn’t be prouder.

And yes… we’re joining GSoC again this year!
