The Google Summer of Code 2025 mentoring organizations have just been announced and we are happy that GNOME’s participation has been accepted! If you are interested in having a internship with GNOME, check gsoc.gnome.org for our project ideas and getting started information.
27.2.2025 18:42GNOME is participating in Google Summer of Code 2025!In October 2024 some members of our community gathered in Medelin, Colombia, for another edition of GNOME Latam. Some of us joined remotely for a schedule packed with talks about GNOME and its ecosystem. The talks, in Spanish and Portuguese, are now published on YouTube. Check it out!
27.1.2025 15:52The GNOME LATAM 2024 recordings are now live!I don't know how it works and I'm just user, not owner of any app here. First some words from Gnome devs: "In the future, we should have a better (and GPU-based) text rendering stack that supports sub-pixel positioning a lot better than the current one, where we lose precision by going through different layers using different fixed point representations; this should already improve the rendering on non-HiDPI displays" (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/3787). Currently fonts are rendered horribly on non-HiDPI screens (even 81% of users according to Steam, which normally should include mainly gamers with modern hardware). Question, if this topic could be taken somehow? GTK4 definitely needs back LCD antialiasing and such support like in GTK3. Current situation is dividing users into "good" and "bad", "poor" and "rich", "healthy" and "unhealthy", "affected" and "non affected" (using non-HiDPI and HiDPI monitors) and this happens, when non-HiDPI will be always used because of price, power usage or availability (yes, in many environments you have FullHD or 2K only).
26.1.2025 22:54Comment on Time to write proposals for GSoC 2025 with GNOME! by MarcinIt is that time of the year again when we start gathering ideas and mentors for Google Summer Code. @Mentors, please submit new proposals in our Project ideas GitLab repository before the end of January. Proposals will be reviewed by the GNOME GSoC Admins and posted in https://gsoc.gnome.org/2025 when approved. If you have any doubts, […]
24.1.2025 10:44Time to write proposals for GSoC 2025 with GNOME!We are excited to announce that the GNOME Foundation is sponsoring an Outreachy internship for the December-March round! The intern will work with mentor Federico Mena Quintero on the project, “Implement the SVG2 text layout algorithm in librsvg.” The intern’s blog will soon be added to Planet GNOME, where you can follow their project updates […]
2.12.2024 10:04Announcement: GNOME will have an Outreachy intern working on librsvgWhile cutting the 47.2 release earlier today, I couldn’t help but reflect on everything we’ve accomplished this cycle. But instead of just listing code changes, I want to use this opportunity to give credit where it’s due, because to me, software is about people! Much of what we have achieved this cycle is thanks to […]
27.11.2024 09:36GNOME Settings 47 RetrospectiveGNOME is interested in participating in the Outreachy December-March cohort, and while we already have a few great projects, we are looking for experienced mentors with a couple more project ideas. Hurry up, we have until September 11 to conclude our list of ideas. Please, submit project ideas on https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/internship/project-ideas Feel free to message us […]
3.9.2024 08:33Looking for more internship project ideas for Outreachy (December-March cohort)For the past nine years, I’ve been actively involved in our internship initiatives with Google Summer of Code and Outreachy. As an alumnus of these programs, I firmly believe they are great ways to onboard new contributors to GNOME and help students start a career in open-source software. However, as my work responsibilities have grown […]
10.7.2024 09:29Stepping down as GNOME Internships organizerGreat stuff! I would however recommend keeping a vertical separator among posts. Hackergotchis are big enough when scrolling on a mobile device, that they can be confused with any other image. It would be better to have an horizontal line or other clear separator among posts like it is now on Planet GNOME.
2.7.2024 06:18Comment on Rethinking Planet GNOME with GitLab Pages/CI by MatteoIn reply to <a href="https://feborg.es/rethinking-planet-gnome-with-gitlab-pages/#comment-18847">Alexander</a>. Why does performance matter for rendering a static website that updates a couple of times a day only? This approach of using gitlab pages is for the sake of simplicity and maintainability. We're not in the business of website development, we make a desktop and this is a tool to be used within our community.
30.6.2024 06:07Comment on Rethinking Planet GNOME with GitLab Pages/CI by Felipe BorgesIf you like fast systems and the environment, give forgejo (fork of gitea) a shot. Gitlab is really inefficient. 4GB memory at least (if you use docker and start the cli, add the amount for every cli) and the beast is slow as hell. Forgejo is so fast the browser lags behind the website (website is rendered but the browser needs its time) and need way less resources (and you have Github like CI actions). To the first thing, in my opinion, we waste energy and our own time with inefficient code for no reason than good marketing of some projects.

27.6.2024 09:00Comment on Rethinking Planet GNOME with GitLab Pages/CI by Alexandre FrankeAwesome work, both from you and from Jakub. Thanks for tackling this, the refresh is welcome.
27.6.2024 08:59Comment on Rethinking Planet GNOME with GitLab Pages/CI by Alexandre FrankeI like it! Now I just need to get a proper hackergotchi :)
27.6.2024 01:50Comment on Rethinking Planet GNOME with GitLab Pages/CI by sriLooks nice! Though with larger fonts and Firefox on Android, the blue header is smaller than the text.
26.6.2024 20:05Comment on Rethinking Planet GNOME with GitLab Pages/CI by JeroenSome GNOME websites are getting modernized and simplified, but Planet GNOME has fallen behind. Not anymore. I started a prototype for a Python script to publish Planet GNOME with GitLab Pages/CI. As Planet GNOME Editor, I am often asked to look for blog and syndication issues I couldn’t really address due to limited server-side access. […]
26.6.2024 13:28Rethinking Planet GNOME with GitLab Pages/CIWe are happy to announce that GNOME is sponsoring two Outreachy internship projects for the May-August 2024 Outreachy internship round where they will be conducting a series of short user research exercises, using a mix of research methods. Udo Ijibike and Tamnjong Larry Tabeh will be working with mentors Allan Day and Aryan Kaushik. Stay […]

GSoC is a program focused on bringing new contributors into open source software development. A number of long term GNOME developers are former GSoC interns, making the program a very valuable entry point for new members […]
