Congratulations. We are thrilled to announce that Drupal is accepted to Google Summer of Code once again in 2022. This will be Drupal’s sixteenth year as a mentoring organization. Moreover, starting in 2022, this program will be open to all newcomers of open source that are 18 years and older. The program will no longer be solely focused on university students or recent graduates. To read more details of the change in GSoC, please visit here.

For people interested in applying GSoC at Drupal

With robust content management tools, sophisticated APIs for multichannel publishing, and a track record of continuous innovation—Drupal is the best digital experience platform(DXP) on the web, proudly open source.

Drupal is a powerful framework that has inspired a new generation of digital experiences. Drupal is also the open-source CMS that helps you deliver ambitious, elegant, and performant digital experiences at scale.

Please follow Getting Started with GSoC documentation to understand the application process at Drupal. Also, we are excited to talk to you on Slack in #drupal-google to chat in real time if you have any questions. If you are already familiar with the process, you can also jump right into Drupal's GSoC 2022 Project Idea Page.

For people interested in mentoring projects or have ideas

If you have been an active contributor at Drupal, we’d love to have you open new project ideas as well as mentoring during the program. It is definitely not too late for you to get involved. The program admins want to help you to find the right applicant before April.19th (see 2022 timeline).

Please review Drupal's GSoC 2022 Project Idea Page, and join the Slack channel in #drupal-google.

We would also appreciate Drupal agencies to help spread the word, and help us to recruit great candidates.
