+title: 'Gentoo accepted into Google Summer of Code 2022'
+---
+
+Do you want to learn more about Gentoo and contribute to your favourite
+free software project?! Once again, now for the 10th time,
+[we have been accepted](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2022/organizations/gentoo-foundation) as 
+a mentoring organization for this year's Google Summer of Code!
+
+The GSoC is an excellent opportunity for gaining real-world experience 
+in software design and making oneself known in the broader open source 
+community. It also looks great on a resume. Some initial project ideas can 
+be [found here](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2022/Ideas), but
+new projects ideas are also welcome. For new projects time is of the essence: 
+they have to be worked out, discussed with the mentors, and submitted before 
+the ***April 19th deadline***. It is strongly recommended that contributors
+refine new project ideas with a mentor *before* proposing the idea formally.
+
+Potential GSoC contributors are encouraged to e-mail [Yury German 
+(BlueKnight)](mailto:blueknight@gentoo.org) with their name, IRC nickname, and
+the desired project, and discuss ideas in the 
+[#gentoo-soc](https://web.libera.chat/?channels=#gentoo-soc) IRC channel on 
+Libera Chat. Further information can be found on the [Gentoo GSoC 2022 wiki 
+page](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2022). Those with 
+unanswered questions should also not hesitate to contact the [Summer of Code
+mentors via their mailing list](mailto:soc-mentors@gentoo.org).
