Hi, I would like to send my application for the project: Clean and actionable reporting for Gradle code quality plugins for Kotlin, how do I send it and where do I send it?

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Zainab, a first-year CS student, and I’m really interested in contributing to Kotlin Foundation for GSoC 2025. Since I’m new to open-source, I had a few questions: 1️⃣ Where can I find beginner-friendly issues to start contributing? 2️⃣ How can I reach out to mentors for guidance on my proposal? 3️⃣ What type of contributions are encouraged (bug fixes, documentation, new features, etc.)? I’d really appreciate any help or pointers.

Hi ,Kotlin developers😁 Thank you for considering my interest!!!! I look forward to the possibility of contributing to the Kotlin ecosystem. My name is Lizhong Hu, and I am a second-year undergraduate student majoring in Software Engineering. I have foundational experience in Java, Python, and C++, and I am actively developing my skills in Kotlin. I am keenly interested in contributing to the Kotlin Foundation through Google Summer of Code 2025. 🤩🤩🤩 The project idea, "Clean and actionable reporting for Gradle code quality plugins for Kotlin," particularly caught my attention due to its potential to significantly enhance the developer experience for Kotlin users by leveraging the new Gradle Problems API. I am eager to learn more about this project and explore how I might contribute.🙂

Is there any specific format for writing the proposals? If it is in this chat, can anyone just tag me in that thread.

If I have a project idea related to Compose / Compose Multiplatfrom should I submit it to kotlin foundation?

Welcome to the channel, everyone! K We are excited to have you here and can’t wait to read your proposals. Before submitting your proposals, please make sure to check out the Kotlin Contributor Guidelines for GSoC 2025. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Good luck 🚀

Hello! I'm Yusuf Aweda, interested in the 'Build Server Protocol: Add Kotlin Support' project. I've explored Kotlin and Gradle a bit and would love to discuss the approach and proposal structure!

Hello Everyone. Finally, I took the step to submit a proposal for the IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin – Gradle Reporting and Parallel Verifications. Would love any feedback as comments on my Google doc here 🙏🏾 Thank you! (Yeesh, already nervous 😬) I would like to improve the parts about testing with an analysis of the performance of the Worker API implementation. Do you have any advice here, @Jakub Chrzanowski? I am considering researching if Build Scan will suffice, https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/inspect.html. Am I going down the wrong path here?

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Soumyajit Chatterjee, a second-year Computer Science student from India, passionate about Kotlin, Gradle, and improving developer experience through better tooling. I recently submitted my GSoC proposal for the project “Clean and actionable reporting for Gradle code quality plugins for Kotlin,” where I focused on integrating tools like Ktlint, Detekt, and Diktat with the Gradle Problems API to deliver more structured, consistent, and IDE-friendly reporting. I'm sharing a copy of the submitted proposal here for reference and would truly appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or thoughts from the community. I'm really excited to be part of this space and look forward to learning and contributing alongside you all! 😌

Hi everyone, Arpit here! @Oleg Nenashev @Ksenia Shneyveys — is there a group or channel for the Gradle convention plugin related to Jenkins plugin development? I’ve submitted my GSoC proposal focused on migrating the Gradle JPI plugin codebase from Groovy to Kotlin, and I’m very interested in collaborating on this and related open-source projects.

Contributor application deadline is today at 18:00 UTC! A big thank you to everyone, who has already submitted their proposals! Good luck to all! K

Should we write a proposal even if we're going to work on a predetermined project?? I'm confused and it's my first time

For the Build Server Protocol Project Task one asks applicants to write Gradle plugin How do we represent that in the Proposal should we directly include the code in proposal or link the Github repository with the output screenshots in the readme? If anyone can help me! thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm ternbusty, a master's student at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.

Guess I’m late too

Hello everyone, does anyone know where is the list of the selected people, I have not received anything

Hi, GSoC community! kodee welcoming Thanks to all of you for your interest, ideas, and submissions! We received a record number of proposals - 123 this year, and their quality and creativity made it tough to select the final list. After careful review, our mentors and GSoC organizers have selected 8 proposals to move forward this summer. Thanks again to everyone who contributed, stay tuned for the progress updates!

How do we know if we can work on any of these projects?

Congrats again to all accepted contributors! I plan to do the first office hours next week for the teams, Gradle or not, the timing poll is here. The goal is to discuss community bonding and help teams to get started. It is totally optional and you can ask everything on Slack, but the office hours are also a goo thing to join if you participate in GSoC for the first time. Meeting poll - https://calendly.com/d/cndn-jt4-29x/gsoc-2025-in-kotlin-foundation-office-hours.

--- @Aarav Mahajan @Nouran @Vanessa Johnson @Yongjun Hong @alaje could you please also make sure to join the Gradle Community Slack? I will do the announcement and some introductions there: https://community.gradle.org/contributing/community-slack/

Hello Why was the build server protocol not selected in final proposals? Like you decided not to move forward with the idea or were the proposals not proper?

@alaje @Jakub Chrzanowski @Ksenia Shneyveys Please let me know what channel you'd like to use for https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2025/projects/lJoAo8B7 . You're of course welcome to have a dedicated channel for the plugin in the Gradle Community Slack, but I can totally understand if you want to proceed on this Slack
