The HEP Software Foundation (http://hepsoftwarefoundation.org/) facilitates the coordination of common international efforts in high-energy physics software and computing.\n\nCERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research, https://home.cern) has participated in GSoC since 2011 as the CERN-SFT group, which provides common software for CERN's experiments. In 2017, the program expanded to include many software projects from the whole field of high-energy physics. The vast majority of our GSoC projects do not require any physics knowledge.\n\nThe experiments at CERN, such as the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator (http://home.cern/topics/large-hadron-collider) try to answer fundamental questions about the Universe. For example, what is the nature of mass? What are the elementary building blocks of the Universe? What was the early Universe like? What is the nature of dark matter and dark energy? Why is there an asymmetry between matter and antimatter? In 2012, LHC experiments announced the discovery of a new particle, the Higgs Boson, that helps explain how particles obtain mass. Also, CERN is the birthplace of the World Wide Web. Today, particle physicists are working on analyzing the data from the experiments to study the properties of the newly discovered particle and to search for new physics, such as dark matter or extra dimensions. This requires a lot of sophisticated software.\n\nThe open-source high-energy physics projects to which students can contribute during GSoC span many high-energy physics software projects: data analysis, detector and accelerator simulation, event reconstruction, data management and many others.

Unhealthy projects can have negative impacts on the community involved in the project as well as organizations that rely on such projects. In response, people want to know more about the open-source projects they are engaged with. For example:\n\n1. Open source contributors want to know where they should place their efforts and know that they are making an impact.\n\n2. Open source communities want to attract new members, ensure consistent quality, and reward valuable members.\n3. Open source companies want to know which communities to engage with, communicate the impact the organization has on the community, and evaluate the work of their employees within open source.\n\nOpen source foundations want to identify and respond to community needs, evaluate the impact of their work, and promote communities.\nIn response to these issues, the CHAOSS project develops metrics, practices, and software for making open source project health more understandable. By building measures of open source project health, CHAOSS seeks to improve the transparency and actionability of open source project health so that relevant stakeholders can make more informed decisions about open source project engagement.\n\nThe project goals are to:\n1.

We have built an innovative lightweight tool called the Checker Framework (https://checkerframework.org/).\n\nThe Checker Framework helps you prevent bugs at development time, before they escape to production. It is based on the idea of _pluggable type-checking_. Pluggable type-checking augments a programming language's built-in type system with a more powerful, expressive one.\n\nJava's type system prevents some bugs, such as `int count = \"hello\";`. However, it does not prevent other bugs, such as null pointer dereferences, concurrency errors, disclosure of private information, incorrect internationalization, out-of-bounds indices, etc.\n\nThe Checker Framework enables you to create a more powerful type system and use it in place of Java's. The more powerful type system is not just a bug-finding tool: it is a verification tool that gives a guarantee that no errors (of certain types) exist in your program. Even though it is powerful, it is easy to use. It follows the standard typing rules that programmers already know, and it fits into their workflow. We have created around 20 new type systems, and other people have created many more.\n\nThe Checker Framework is popular: it is successfully used on hundreds of projects at Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber, on Wall Street, and in other companies from big to small. It it attractive to programmers who care about their craft and the quality of their code. The Checker Framework is the motivation for Java's type annotations feature. Talks on it have received multiple awards at conferences such as JavaOne. With this widespread use, there is a need for people to help with the project: everything from bug fixes, to new features, to case studies, to IDE integration.

One of our ambitions is to fill the gap between theory and practice by turning state-of-the-art theoretical tools in geometry and optimization to state-of-the-art implementations. Towards this goal, we will deliver various innovative solutions in a variety of application fields, like finance, computational biology, and statistics that will extend the limits of contemporary computational tools. GeomScale aims in serving as a building block for an international, interdisciplinary, and open community in high dimensional geometrical and statistical computing. The main development is currently performed in volesti, a generic open source C++ library, with R and python interfaces (the latter is hosted in package dingo), for high-dimensional sampling, volume approximation, and copula estimation for financial modelling. In particular, the current implementation scales up to hundred or thousand dimensions, depending on the problem. To our knowledge it is the most efficient software package for sampling and volume computation to date. It is, in several cases, orders of magnitude faster compared to packages that solve the same problems. It can be used to compute challenging multivariate integrals and to approximate optimal solutions in optimization problems. It has already found important applications in systems biology by analyzing large metabolic networks (e.g., the latest human network) and in FinTech by detecting shock events and by evaluating portfolios performance in stock markets with thousands of assets. Other application areas include AI and in particular approximate weighted model integration. Recent studies has shown a potential application of volesti methods in trustworthy AI, static analysis of programs and differential privacy.","ideas_list_url":"https://github.com/GeomScale/gsoc26/wiki/table-of-proposed-coding-projects"},{"slug":"git","name":"Git","logo_url":"https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/media/org/git/mbqqznjbaohwgq80-360.png","website_url":"https://git-scm.com/","tagline":"Fast,Scalable,Distributed revision control system","contact_links":[{"name":"chat","value":"https://git-scm.com/community"},{"name":"mailingList","value":"https://git-scm.com/community"},{"name":"email","value":"git@vger.kernel.org"},{"name":"twitter","value":"https://discord.gg/GRFVkzgxRd"}],"date_created":"2022-03-14T17:19:20.014007Z","tech_tags":["shell script","git","c language"],"topic_tags":["version control","dvcs"],"categories":["Programming languages","Development tools"],"program_slug":"2025","logo_bg_color":null,"description_html":"Git is the most widely-used revision control system in Open Source.

Its modularity allows users to populate the framework with their own algorithms, allowing to put the focus on the signal processing implementation without worrying about how to embed that algorithm in a whole GNSS receiver. It also makes possible fair performance benchmarks using real GNSS signals, and its open source license allows free downloading, use and code inspection.\nThe proposed software receiver targets multi-constellation/multi-frequency architectures, pursuing the goals of efficiency, modularity, interoperability, and flexibility demanded by user domains that require non-standard features, such as earth observers or geodesists, and allowing applications such as the observation of the ionosphere, GNSS reflectometry, signal quality monitoring, space weather, and high-accuracy positioning based on carrier-phase navigation techniques. In this project, we focus on signal processing, understood as the process between the ADC and the computation of code and phase observables, including the demodulation of the navigation message. We purposely omit data processing, understood as the computation of the navigation solution from the observables and the navigation message, since there are a number of well-established libraries and applications for that (also in the open source side, such as GPSTk or RTKLIB).","ideas_list_url":"https://gnss-sdr.org/google-summer-code-2025-ideas-list/"},{"slug":"gnu-compiler-collection-gcc","name":"GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)","logo_url":"https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/media/org/gnu-compiler-collection-gcc/kpspl59nyj0hoxlr-360.png","website_url":"https://gcc.gnu.org/","tagline":"GNU compilers","contact_links":[{"name":"mailingList","value":"https://gcc.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gcc"},{"name":"chat","value":"https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GCConIRC"},{"name":"chat","value":"https://gcc-rust.zulipchat.com/login/"},{"name":"twitter","value":"https://twitter.com/gnutools"}],"date_created":"2022-03-29T16:54:12.791478Z","tech_tags":["c/c++","gnu make","gnu autotools"],"topic_tags":["compilers","developer tools","toolchain","openmp","link time optimization"],"categories":["Programming languages","Development tools"],"program_slug":"2025","logo_bg_color":null,"description_html":"The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is an optimizing compiler produced by the GNU Project supporting various programming languages, hardware architectures and operating systems.

It can be used with readily-available low-cost external RF hardware to create software-defined radios, or without hardware in a simulation-like environment. It is widely used in research, industry, academia, government, and hobbyist environments to support both wireless communications research and real-world radio systems.\n\nIn brief, a software radio is a radio system which performs the required signal processing in software instead of using dedicated integrated circuits in hardware. The benefit is that since software can be easily replaced in the radio system, the same hardware can be used to create many kinds of radios for many different communications standards; thus, one software radio can be used for a variety of applications!\n\nYou can use GNU Radio to write applications to receive and transmit data with radio hardware, or to create entirely simulation-based applications. GNU Radio has filters, channel codes, synchronization elements, equalizers, demodulators, vocoders, decoders, and many other types of blocks which are typically found in signal processing systems. More importantly, it includes a method of connecting these blocks and then manages how data is passed from one block to another. Extending GNU Radio is also quite easy; if you find a specific block that is missing, you can quickly create and add it.\n\nGNU Radio applications can be written in either C++ or Python, while the performance-critical signal processing path is implemented in C++ using processor floating-point extensions where available. This enables the developer to implement real-time, high-throughput radio systems in a simple-to-use, rapid-application-development environment.","ideas_list_url":"https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/GSoCIdeas"},{"slug":"google-deepmind-sq","name":"Google DeepMind","logo_url":"https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/media/org/google-deepmind-sq/cmdhldmexaj4kpms-360.png","website_url":"https://github.com/google-deepmind","tagline":"Google DeepMind's open-source projects","contact_links":[{"name":"email","value":"webpaige@google.com"},{"name":"twitter","value":"https://twitter.com/googleaidevs"}],"date_created":"2025-02-11T17:43:46.445347Z","tech_tags":["python","javascript","typescript","Jax","Gemma"],"topic_tags":["python","Jax","AI,","Gemma"],"categories":["Artificial Intelligence"],"program_slug":"2025","logo_bg_color":null,"description_html":"Google DeepMind is a leading AI research organization committed to solving intelligence and using it to advance science and benefit humanity.

It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description.\n\n\nLua has been used in many industrial applications (e.g., Adobe's Photoshop Lightroom), with an emphasis on embedded systems (e.g., the Ginga middleware for digital TV in Brazil) and games (e.g., World of Warcraft and Angry Birds). Several versions of Lua have been released and used in real applications since its creation in 1993.\n\nWhat is Lunatik?\n\nLunatik is an extension framework for Linux that combines the approaches of Extensible Operating Systems and Scripting Languages. This approach, named Kernel Scripting, advocates that OS kernels can be dynamically extended by using a high-level scripting language. Lunatik is a programming and execution environment that offers two main features: it allows developers to make subsystems scriptable and allows users to run Lua scripts in the kernel.\n\nWhat is Pallene?\n\nPallene is a statically-typed programming language, intended to serve as a more performant companion to Lua. It is designed to seamlessly interoperate with Lua, with first-class support for Lua data types.

We started by enabling offline access to Khan Academy's videos and exercises and grew to become a key player in the global education technology landscape. For the past 13 years we’ve focused on boosting learning outcomes in some of the most challenging contexts, supporting disconnected learning in refugee camps, rural schools, out-of-school programs, and more.\nLearning Equality develops and maintains Kolibri, an adaptable set of open tools specially designed to support teaching and learning with tech but without the Internet for the third of the world that still lacks access to connectivity.\nKolibri is centered around an offline-first learning platform that runs on a variety of low-cost and legacy devices. It is complemented by a curricular tool, a library of open educational materials, and a toolkit of resources to support training and implementation. These tools are open and available in a variety of languages to better support learners and educators globally.\nAs a community-driven nonprofit, Learning Equality works closely to co-design Kolibri with a core network of collaborators, including national NGOs, UN agencies, government, and corporate partners.

Since instances of Kolibri never need to connect to the Internet to be used, we do not know about usage across every instance, which is why this is an informed estimate from years of data.","ideas_list_url":"https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vShAAywLDbBu5WH-Wv44rxetISCOQmHxBwxDw63Nt_OcpPVIZW2jjT8sd_GLTpeNvspze8W-_c9JUdl/pub"},{"slug":"libreoffice","name":"LibreOffice","logo_url":"https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/media/org/libreoffice/3g60m1gvsyzwzvvk-360.png","website_url":"https://www.libreoffice.org/","tagline":"LibreOffice is a free and open source office suite","contact_links":[{"name":"chat","value":"https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/IRC"},{"name":"mailingList","value":"https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Mailing_List"},{"name":"twitter","value":"https://twitter.com/libreoffice"}],"date_created":"2022-03-11T08:34:28.124504Z","tech_tags":["python","java","c++"],"topic_tags":["office suite","desktop application","end user application"],"categories":["End user applications"],"program_slug":"2025","logo_bg_color":null,"description_html":"LibreOffice is a modern Free & Open Source Office suite, one of the largest open source projects, and used by millions of users worldwide. LibreOffice is compatible with many file formats like Microsoft® Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Publisher. At its heart though, LibreOffice is built around an open standard, the OpenDocument Format, as its native file format.\nLibreOffice is developed by users who, just like you, believe in the principles of Free Software and in sharing their work with the world in non-restrictive ways. The development of LibreOffice is supported by The Document Foundation which provides the infrastructure for the project.\nWe believe that users should have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software that we distribute. While we do offer no-cost downloads of the LibreOffice suite of programs, Free Software is first and foremost a matter of liberty, not price. We campaign for these freedoms because we believe that everyone deserves them.\nThough the members of our community hail from many different backgrounds, we all value personal choice and transparency, which translates practically into wider compatibility, more utility, and no end-user lock-in to a single product. We believe that Free Software can provide better-quality, higher-reliability, increased-security, and greater-flexibility than proprietary alternatives. LibreOffice is a large project (approx. 6MLOC), which makes it interestingly complex, but at the same time, provides a place for all sorts of contribution & skills.\nThe community behind LibreOffice is the heart of the project, without which we would not have the resources to continue developing our software. The passion and drive that every individual brings to the community results in collaborative development that often exceeds our own expectations. With tons of different roles in the project, we invite everyone to join us in our work and help us to make LibreOffice known, prosper, and accessible to all.","ideas_list_url":"https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas"},{"slug":"libssh","name":"libssh","logo_url":"https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/media/org/libssh/kcfc8lhxh3uyozbu-360.png","website_url":"https://www.libssh.org/","tagline":"The SSH library","contact_links":[{"name":"mailingList","value":"https://www.libssh.org/communication/"},{"name":"chat","value":"https://matrix.to/#/!yBkUIMByeIPFgUzcVM:matrix.org?via=matrix.org"},{"name":"blog","value":"https://www.libssh.org/"}],"date_created":"2022-03-08T15:27:58.808466Z","tech_tags":["c","git","ci","ssh","sftp"],"topic_tags":["security","cryptography"],"categories":["Programming languages","Security"],"program_slug":"2025","logo_bg_color":null,"description_html":"This project is for programmers needing a working SSH implementation by the mean of a library.

MDAnalysis accomplishes this goal by providing a toolkit of programming building blocks that provide an abstract Python interface to the simulation data — agnostic of the specific simulation package that produced it — that lends itself to interactive data exploration and rapid prototyping but is also a robust foundational library that can form the basis for new computational tools.\n\nMDAnalysis allows one to read particle-based trajectories such as the ones produced by MD simulations or individual coordinate frames (such as biomolecules in the Protein Databank format) and access the atomic coordinates through NumPy arrays. Together with a powerful selection language and many implemented analysis algorithms, MDAnalysis provides a flexible and fast framework for complex analysis tasks. Welcoming documentation such as the User Guide https://userguide.mdanalysis.org/ make it easy to get started.

We envision a world where access to high-quality education is not a privilege but a human right. \n\nThe team works on two platforms: \n\n (a) Oppia Web, which provides an online learning tool that enables anyone to learn from effective and engaging interactive lessons (called 'explorations'), which simulate a one-on-one conversation with a tutor. This format makes it possible for students to learn by doing while getting feedback. The Oppia Web platform also provides the infrastructure needed to support lesson creation and translation.\n\n (b) Oppia Android, which provides a way for these lessons to be played offline on an Android app that supports low-end devices and does not require Internet connectivity. \n\nAs a community, we are also aware that millions of students in underserved communities lack access to the educational resources necessary to effectively learn key skills like basic numeracy. Thus, in addition to developing the Oppia platform, the team has launched and continues to develop a set of free and effective lessons on basic mathematics, supplemented by translations and voiceovers. Students using these lessons have shown strong improvements between pre-and post-tests, and we’ve received lots of positive feedback on them. We are planning to extend this offering to other subjects, based on what students (and the nonprofits working with them) tell us would be most useful.","ideas_list_url":"https://github.com/oppia/oppia/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2026"},{"slug":"organic-maps","name":"Organic Maps","logo_url":"https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/media/org/organic-maps/cnhed0elppzqsjut-360.png","website_url":"https://organicmaps.app","tagline":"Offline maps app for tourists, cyclers, hikers and drivers","contact_links":[{"name":"email","value":"join@organicmaps.app"},{"name":"chat","value":"https://matrix.to/#/#organicmaps:matrix.org"},{"name":"chat","value":"https://t.me/OrganicMaps"},{"name":"facebook","value":"https://www.facebook.com/OrganicMaps"},{"name":"twitter","value":"https://twitter.com/organicmapsapp"},{"name":"blog","value":"https://organicmaps.app/news/"}],"date_created":"2022-03-11T12:19:55.673964Z","tech_tags":["android","java","c++","ios","OpenStreetMap"],"topic_tags":["privacy","maps","navigation","mobile","offline"],"categories":["End user applications"],"program_slug":"2025","logo_bg_color":null,"description_html":"Organic Maps is the ultimate companion app for travelers, tourists, hikers, cyclists and drivers:\n\n- Detailed offline maps with places that don't exist on other maps, thanks to OpenStreetMap\n- Cycling routes, hiking trails, and walking paths\n- Contour lines, elevation profiles, peaks, and slopes\n- Turn-by-turn walking, cycling, and car navigation with voice guidance\n- Fast offline search on the map\n- Bookmarks export and import in KML/KMZ, GPX, GeoJSON formats\n- Dark Mode to protect your eyes\n- Countries and regions don't take a lot of space\n- Free and open-source\n\nOrganic Maps is pure and organic, made with love:\n\n- Respects your privacy\n- Saves your battery\n- No unexpected mobile data charges","ideas_list_url":"https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/wiki/GSoC-2026-ideas"},{"slug":"osgeo-open-source-geospatial-foundation","name":"OSGeo (Open Source Geospatial Foundation)","logo_url":"https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/media/org/osgeo-open-source-geospatial-foundation/yundulx00fbd1akm-360.png","website_url":"https://www.osgeo.org/","tagline":"The Open Source Geospatial Foundation","contact_links":[{"name":"email","value":"gsoc-admin@osgeo.org"},{"name":"chat","value":"https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_Recommendations_for_Students#How_to_get_in_contact_via_IRC"},{"name":"mailingList","value":"https://www.osgeo.org/community/communications/"},{"name":"twitter","value":"https://x.com/osgeo"},{"name":"facebook","value":"https://www.facebook.com/OSGeoFoundation/"},{"name":"blog","value":"http://planet.osgeo.org/"}],"date_created":"2022-03-10T23:18:59.851175Z","tech_tags":["c","python","javascript","java","c++"],"topic_tags":["open science","gis","citizen science","geolocation","mapping"],"categories":["End user applications","Other"],"program_slug":"2025","logo_bg_color":null,"description_html":"The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to foster global adoption of open geospatial technology by being an inclusive software foundation devoted to an open philosophy and participatory community-driven development.

This project specifically seeks to improve this ability. Because no one measurement provides a complete picture, multiple data sources must be integrated in a sensible manner. Process-based models represent an ideal framework for integrating these data streams because they represent multiple processes at different spatial and temporal scales in ways that capture our current understanding of the causal connections across scales and among data types. Three components are required to bridge this gap between the available data and the required level of understanding: 1) state-of-the-art ecosystem model, 2) a workflow management system to handle the numerous streams of data, and 3) a data assimilation statistical framework in order to synthesize the data with the model.","ideas_list_url":"https://pecanproject.github.io/gsoc_ideas"},{"slug":"pharo-consortium","name":"Pharo Consortium","logo_url":"https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/media/org/pharo-consortium/zrxygkl3ycuvw6nb-360.png","website_url":"https://pharo.org/","tagline":"Modern and immersive programming language","contact_links":[{"name":"chat","value":"https://discord.gg/QewZMZa"},{"name":"mailingList","value":"pharo-users@lists.pharo.org"},{"name":"email","value":"https://gsoc.pharo.org/ideas"},{"name":"twitter","value":"https://twitter.com/pharoproject"},{"name":"blog","value":"https://thepharo.dev/"}],"date_created":"2022-03-10T23:18:54.260425Z","tech_tags":["git","smalltalk","pharo","spec","SUnit"],"topic_tags":["machine learning","programming languages","virtual machines","Modelling","Live music"],"categories":["Programming languages","Development tools"],"program_slug":"2025","logo_bg_color":null,"description_html":"Pharo is a dynamic, purely object-oriented programming language (where everything is an object) that is inspired by Smalltalk.

It includes\n\n* an effective data handling and storage facility,\n* a suite of operators for calculations on arrays, in particular matrices,\n* a large, coherent, integrated collection of intermediate tools for data analysis,\n* graphical facilities for data analysis and display either on-screen or on hardcopy, and\n* a well-developed, simple and effective programming language which includes conditionals, loops, user-defined recursive functions and input and output facilities.\n\nThe term “environment” is intended to characterize it as a fully planned and coherent system, rather than an incremental accretion of very specific and inflexible tools, as is frequently the case with other data analysis software.\n\nR, like S, is designed around a true computer language, and it allows users to add additional functionality by defining new functions. Much of the system is itself written in the R dialect of S, which makes it easy for users to follow the algorithmic choices made. For computationally-intensive tasks, C, C++ and Fortran code can be linked and called at run time. Advanced users can write C code to manipulate R objects directly.\n\nMany users think of R as a statistics system. We prefer to think of it of an environment within which statistical techniques are implemented. R can be extended (easily) via packages. There are about eight packages supplied with the R distribution and many more are available through the CRAN family of Internet sites covering a very wide range of modern statistics.\n\nR has its own LaTeX-like documentation format, which is used to supply comprehensive documentation, both on-line in a number of formats and in hardcopy.","ideas_list_url":"https://github.com/rstats-gsoc/gsoc2026/wiki/table-of-proposed-coding-projects"},{"slug":"rizin","name":"Rizin","logo_url":"https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/media/org/rizin/7ageygqfyv7wzlee-360.png","website_url":"https://rizin.re","tagline":"Rizin reverse engineering framework and toolset","contact_links":[{"name":"chat","value":"https://im.rizin.re"},{"name":"email","value":"gsoc@rizin.re"},{"name":"mailingList","value":"https://bsky.app/profile/rizin.re"},{"name":"twitter","value":"https://twitter.com/rizinorg"},{"name":"blog","value":"https://fosstodon.org/@rizin"}],"date_created":"2022-03-10T23:19:00.292713Z","tech_tags":["c","python","go","c++","qt"],"topic_tags":["reverse engineering","computer security","debugging","emulation","disassembly"],"categories":["Security"],"program_slug":"2025","logo_bg_color":null,"description_html":"The Rizin project is a fork of the famous Radare2 project that started in 2006.

By leveraging the flexibility and universality of the underlying Python interpreter, SageMath is able to accommodate for a vast range of their requirements.\n\nThe mission of SageMath is to create a viable open-source alternative to all major proprietary mathematical software systems.\n\nPython is the main programming language inside the SageMath library and also the language of choice for all interactions with the built-in objects and functions for expressing mathematical concepts and calculations. Besides a command-line and programming-library interface, its primary user interface is a dynamic self-hosted website. From the perspective of a user, the interface language is Python, but with a thin extension built directly on top of it.\n\nAlmost all areas of mathematics are represented in SageMath, at various levels of sophistication. This includes symbolic calculus, 2D and 3D graphics, polynomials, graph theory, group theory, abstract algebra, combinatorics, cryptography, elliptic curves and modular forms, numerical mathematics, linear algebra and matrix calculations (over various rings), support for parallel computing, and a powerful coercion framework to “mix” elements from different sets for calculations.

A significant proportion of our software contributions come from university students studying software engineering.

This prepares them for the competitive realities of the working world.\n\nLife started for us in 2016 when a group of expatriate Jamaicans wanted to assist development of new and existing information technologies for the island’s social good. We knew academic and student leadership wanted greater practical exposure to the latest technology. In response, our pilot Calico program for Jamaican universities was created with the goal of addressing the issues graduates would face when employed.\n\nAfter five years of success, members of the Jamaican diaspora suggested we expand our service area to be global. They saw similar needs in their own under-served communities where the digital divide is very visible and thought our experience in the developing world would be useful.\n\nSince 2019 we have focused on creating a mobile app to help community organizations like ourselves better manage their membership. We saw the need for a social media component to keep in contact with our volunteers. We also felt these organizations often faced challenges with the project management of events and keeping track of volunteer abilities, roles, and responsibilities.\n\nWe want to make the app useful for any community-based organization such as clubs, small religious institutions, neighborhood groups, and volunteer associations.

Its main purpose is to bundle JavaScript files for usage in a browser, yet it is also capable of transforming, bundling, or packaging just about any resource or asset.\n\nOverview\nCurrently in the web, modules are not fully adopted, and therefore we need tooling to help compile your module code into something that will work in the browser. webpack champions this by not only supporting CommonJS, AMD, RequireJS module systems, but also ECMAScript Modules (ESM).\n\nWhat makes webpack unique?\nExtensibility webpack is built using an extensible event-driven architecture. This means that a majority of our code is Plugins that hook into a set of lifecycle events. This means that it is infinitely flexible and configurable. This architecture also lets us pivot very quickly. Plugins isolate functionality (and can even be used in your configuration), and allow us to add and drop new functionality without breaking the rest of the system.\n\nFocused around Web Performance webpack revived a classic technique from Google Web Toolkit known as \"code splitting\". Code splitting let's developers write imperative instructions (as a part of their code), to split up their JavaScript bundles (at build time) into multiple pieces that can be loaded lazily.\n\nBuilt in JavaScript webpack's configuration format, and architecture is all built and run on NodeJS. This means that anyone comfortable with JavaScript can break open our source code with a low level of entry to learn, contribute to, and improve.\n\nUsed at Scale webpack is used by companies like AirBnB, Microsoft, Housing.com, Flipkart, Alibaba, to build high performance, scaled web applications.\n\nCommunity Owned webpack is not backed by a single organization, rather by its users, contributors, backers, sponsors, and shareholders. This means that every decision we make is for them, and them only.","ideas_list_url":"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Mr_IPVdbupGwmGtcvLlVqFEL8wYN_rlfHUghJ2EPBVE/edit?usp=sharing"},{"slug":"wellcome-sanger-institute","name":"Wellcome Sanger Tree of Life","logo_url":"https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/media/org/wellcome-sanger-institute/gmcjtlourmhkhhed-360.png","website_url":"https://www.sanger.ac.uk/","tagline":"Genome analysis for all species","contact_links":[{"name":"email","value":"gsoc@sanger.ac.uk"},{"name":"twitter","value":"https://twitter.com/sangertol"},{"name":"blog","value":"https://sangerinstitute.blog/"}],"date_created":"2022-03-10T23:18:59.471980Z","tech_tags":["python","machine learning","natural language processing","nextflow","Cloud Storage"],"topic_tags":["machine learning","genomics","bioinformatics","genome analysis"],"categories":["Science and medicine","Artificial Intelligence"],"program_slug":"2025","logo_bg_color":null,"description_html":"Two scientific units of the Sanger Institute are focusing their effort on non-human genomics, encompassing all organisms on Earth.
