Make sure you have read the IHR contributor handbook
The below ideas were contributed by current IHR contributors. They are sometimes vague or incomplete. Questions related to these ideas should be asked on the related GitHub discussion thread.
Becoming accepted as a Google Summer of Code student is quite competitive. Accepted students typically have thoroughly researched the topic of their proposed project and have been active in the discussions. Simply copying and pasting an idea here will not work. On the other hand, creating a completely new idea without first consulting potential mentors also rarely works.
Also keep in mind that these are just proposals, we are open to new ideas you might have! Do you have an awesome idea you want to work on for IHR, but that is not among the ideas below? That's cool. We love that! Please get in touch with a mentor early on and make sure your project is realistic and within the scope of IHR.
If there is no specific contact given you can ask questions on github, slack, or at gsoc@ihr.live.
IHR won’t be taking part in GSoC 2026.
