Message-ID: <58bbb8a2652c0a3fef14873385705d04@posteo.de> Dear OSGeo Community, We are proud and extremely elated to announce that 7 students have been selected to work on OSGeo projects for GSoC 2022. ? Browse the projects at: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2022/organizations/osgeo-open-source-geospatial-foundation Please join us in congratulating all the students and welcoming them to the OSGeo community. We are excited about the development they shall be doing in the coming months. We congratulate other students (who are not selected) for their hard work and interest in contributing to OSGeo. Please remember that a dedicated effort is the first step, and you all should be proud of yourself for already taking that step. We hope you will still be interested in contributing to the OSGeo and we wish you the best in your future endeavors! Also, it is imperative to recognize our Mentors' support. None of this could have been possible without them. Thank you, dear Mentors. We all really appreciate your efforts. We shall be sending further instructions about onboarding soon.
