About Google Summer of Code
Google Summer of Code is a global program focused on bringing more student developers into open source software development. Students work with an open source organization on a 3 month programming project during their break from school.
GNU social will be on GSoC this summer of 2019!
GNU social is happy to announce that will be participating as a hosting project in Google Summer of Code for the second time in a row!
Past successes
In 2018
GS ActivityPub Plugin
The tendency is that newer software will focus in the implementation of the ActivityPub Protocol (as it is newer and considered to be simpler) instead of OStatus, given that, it is important for GNU social to support it in order to stay updated and relevant in an even larger fediverse.
Proposed by Diogo Cordeiro and mentored by Daniel Supernault and Mikael Nordfeldth.
