The list of accepted organizations is at [1]. Our OSGeo GSoC 2026 application is available at [2]. 2. Please note the Potential GSoC contributors (Student + Professional) discuss application ideas with the mentoring organizations from February 19 - March 15, 2026. So, be ready to be flooded with queries by potential contributors in the coming period. ? 3. GSoC contributors will be able to register and submit their applications from March 16 - March 31, 2026. All proposals must be submitted by March 31, 2026, at 18:00 UTC. 4. Mentors of the projects who have already updated their ideas in the OSGeo GSoC 2026 ideas list, kindly fill out the Google Form [3] so that we can start sending the invitations. We still have time for more projects to participate with ideas [4]. It is a good opportunity to: - Add functionality to your projects. - Attract more contributors participating in the projects, times they become long-term contributors. OSGeo projects, Incubating projects, and community projects are welcome. Note: If you are interested in joining the Organization Administration team and have been involved with the OSGeo GSoC initiative in the past with rich experience, please reach out to us.

If you are a contributor interested in contributing to the geospatial open source with OSGeo as an umbrella organization, then this is high time: 1. To go through the OSGeo GSoC 2026 project ideas list [2]. Make sure to check the list frequently, as it is being updated regularly with new ideas. 2. Contact the project mentors via the Developers? mailing list or the community chat channels to discuss the project idea/ideas of your interest. 3. Start working on the proposal draft and share it with the community as soon as possible to receive feedback and comments. Please go through the GSoC Contributors/Students Guide [3] to get an overall understanding of the problem. From Google admins: ?GSoC Contributors who engage with their organization early (and often) are more likely to be accepted and then succeed?. Remember to submit your proposal well in advance, so that you can make the most out of the feedback from mentors and the community at large and refine your proposal until the final deadline. Read the application instructions here [4]. The same page contains all the info you need before taking action, so please read it carefully. Please note that the student application period starts March 16, 2026 - 18:00 UTC and all the student proposals must be submitted before March 31, 2026 - 18:00 UTC. Please don?t wait for the deadline. Refer to the GSoC Timeline [5] for more details. We are looking forward to working with you towards another awesome edition of GSoC! Good luck everyone! Please forward this email to your developer and community mailing list.

A services and business incubator for geospatial open-source developments and/or whether we are interested in collaborating with them. The timescale is relatively short (mid-April submission) and they are keen to emphasise their willingness to undertake the heavy admin burden of a EU Bid. Of note, it is bidding for up to ?6m, and it is designated that a minimum of 45% and up to 60% of this will be provided as 'cascading funds' - i.e. money given to companies and organisations to do stuff, rather than used by the project partners as such. This seems like an interesting opportunity, and any comments / advice / suggestions are welcome. If you have any links, or are interested, please do reach out to Ksenia or myself. Best wishes, Nick.

It's not quite the same as Story Maps, but is current and maintained. https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/qgis2web/ https://qgis2web.github.io/qgis2web/ It allows you to take a QGIS project (inc. layers, styles, symbology, etc.) and publish it as a web map. You can insert this web page into any existing webpage - so you could construct a series of maps on a web page. I hope this helps. Best wishes, Nick.
