Google Summer of Code Joomla Team (GSoC)

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global online program initiated by Google in 2005 to encourage new contributors to participate in Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects. The program is designed and sponsored by Google to promote open source collaboration and provide hands-on experience to contributors in real-world software development.

Joomla's GSoC team facilitates Joomla's participation in the GSoC program. We are a team of passionate volunteers, each with a dedicated role, working together to develop new features and improve Joomla during the summer. Every project selected for Joomla under GSoC is guided by experienced mentors who provide support and help contributors achieve the project goals.

For information about the 2025 edition, please visit: https://docs.joomla.org/GSoC_2025.
