Ruby Participates in Google Summer of Code

We're excited to announce that Ruby will participate in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2026! This program offers new open source contributors the chance to work on impactful projects supporting the Ruby ecosystem, such as RubyGems.org, RubyGems, and Bundler, with guidance from experienced mentors. Google Summer of Code is an annual program run by Google that pairs open source organizations with new contributors (18+ years old with less than two years of open source experience). Contributors receive a stipend from Google to work on a defined project over roughly 12 weeks.
