The Django Software Foundation has been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2026, marking Django's 21st consecutive year in the program. The post outlines how prospective applicants should engage with the Django ecosystem — starting early, participating publicly on the Django Forum, and demonstrating genuine understanding of the project. It explicitly warns against submitting AI-generated proposals without personal understanding, copying previous proposals, or treating GSoC as a solo internship. First-time contributors are guided to set up Django locally, explore open tickets, and introduce themselves on the forum before crafting a proposal.
