Mentor orgs are looking for contributors that are excited about their community and reaching out to the orgs and talking to them about their project ideas is the best way to do that. </div><div><br></div><div>Be sure to use the filters to help you narrow down your list by programming language (python, C++, etc.) and by category (data, development tools, infrastructure and cloud, security, etc.). If you want to quickly look through which orgs are participating be sure to check out our <a href="https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/2022-mentor-orgs" target="_blank">alphabetical list of the Mentor organizations</a>.</div><div><br></div><div><u style="font-weight:bold">Applications will close April 19th at 1800 UTC.</u> Do not wait until the last minute to submit your proposal.
