[Google Summer of Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) is a long-running program by Google that supports Open Source projects. Haskell has taken part in this program almost since its inception!

It allows **everyone** (since 2022, before that it was only students) to contribute to projects for a stipend. However, in order to do that, we need to have some **ideas of what to contribute to**.

In the past, this has led to many improvements for GHC, Cabal, HLS, Hasktorch… and it can include your project as well! This is a great way to find contributors for your project (even after the summer ends) – many past participants have become involved long-term.

You can find more info and instructions on how to participate here: [Summer of Haskell - ideas](https://summer.haskell.org/ideas.html).

(Note: at the time of writing GSoC 2025 hasn’t been officially announced but we want to starting collecting ideas anyways based on the timeline from prior years.)
