GSoC 2026: Focus on Security and AI/ML
For GSoC 2026, we are actively looking to bring in more projects in the high-demand areas of Security and AI/ML. These fields are of interest to potential GSoC contributors.

If you know of an open source organization doing exceptional work in AI/ML or security, please refer them to GSoC!
