Hi devs,

The [list of accepted organizations](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2022/organizations) has been published yesterday evening and XWiki has been accepted to Google Summer of Code <currentYear>!

<GSoC-Horizontal.png logo. Get it from https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/resources/marketing and upload it to the post at 100% width>

We currently have [7 project proposals](https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/#HProposedProjects2829) and [4 mentors](https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/#HMentors2829).

There is about [1 month left](https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline) (April 4th) before the GSoC contributors application period starts, so if others want to sign up as mentors and/or propose new GSoC projects for the contributors to pick from, please do so on the [ideas list](https://gsoc.xwiki.org).

During this period, interested GSoC contributors are supposed to ask questions about the proposed projects so please don't hesitate to welcome and help them out!

Another thing you can help with is to increase the list of "Onboarding" issues that we know about on jira.xwiki.org. You can use the label "Onboarding" and apply it to jira issues which you know for a fact that they would be easy to fix by someone new to XWiki. We've currently labeled quite a few issues with the ["Onboarding" JIRA label](https://jira.xwiki.org/issues/?jql=resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20Onboarding) and are listing them on the [GSoC guidelines page](https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Guidelines#HIncreasingyourchancesofbeingacceptedasastudent) to help GSoC contributors discover them more easily.

Thanks,
<Org Admin's name>
