Perhaps also this year security-related projects and projects about AI/ML are especially welcomed by the organizers at Google, like in 2025. Everything is going as last year, especially allowance of open source newcomers and not only students and flexibility with the end of the coding period and the 3 project sizes, large (350h), medium (175h), and small (90h). On January 19, 2026 (in 5 days) the application period for mentoring organizations for the Google Summer of Code 2025 will start and the deadline will be Feb 3. To be successful, we need a rich project idea list so that we will get selected by Google. I have set up a page for project ideas for the Linux Foundation's participation in the Google Summer of Code 2026: https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/gsoc/google-summer-code-2026 Please add your ideas to the sub-page of your work group. Also remove project ideas which are already done in one of the previous years or not needed any more and make sure that all contact info is up-to-date and all links are working. At each idea please tell for which project size (Large (350h), Medium (175h), Small (90h)) it is intended, the level of difficulty (Easy, Intermediate, Hard), and mark clearly your security-related and AI/ML-related project ideas (with something like "**SECURITY**", "**AI**", "**ML**"). Having security and AI/ML project ideas and also not only large-sized projects raises our chances to get accepted. Make sure to not talk about "students", but about "contributors" instead. I have, at least partially, taken care of this when I have copied your sub-group pages from last year. Also make sure to remove the "**TO BE UPDATED**" phrase after having updated your project ideas. If you have problems mail me with your project ideas and other editing wishes. The ideas list is in the Linux Foundation Wiki. If you want to edit and did not have the edit rights already from previous years, please tell me and I give you edit rights. I need your name and e-mail address for that. If you have an account at the Linux Foundation, use preferably that e-mail address, but having an account at the Linux Foundation is not required. Please also take into account that the deadline for our application as mentoring organization is Feb 3 and after that Google will evaluate the applications. So have your ideas (at least most of them, ideas can be posted at any time up to the contributor application deadline) in by then to raise our chances to get accepted. Please also tell us if you do not want to participate any more with your workgroup, so that we can remove your sub-page. Till
