We’re happy to share that Joplin has been allocated 5 slots for this year’s Google Summer of Code :tada:

Congratulations to all the selected students, and welcome to the project!

The community bonding period starts today. This phase is all about getting familiar with the project: connecting with mentors, exploring the codebase, discussing ideas in more detail, and refining project plans before the coding phase begins.

Below are the selected contributors, along with their projects and mentors:

  • Harsh Gupta
    AI-based Note Categorisation and Tagging for Joplin
    Mentor: Ton Hoang Nguyen (Bill)

  • Keshav
    Idea #7: Local Note Encryption
    Mentor: mrjo118

  • Sriram Varun Kumar
    Interactive Sync Conflict Resolution for Joplin Desktop and Mobile
    Mentor: CalebJohn

  • Akshaj Rawat
    Strengthen the security of the plugin ecosystem
    Mentor: Laurent

  • Yugal Kaushik
    AI-Generated Note Graphs
    Mentor: Daeraxa

We encourage everyone to engage with the community during this period, ask questions, and start shaping their projects.

We’re looking forward to working together over the coming months and seeing your contributions to Joplin :rocket:

I'm not seeing this on the program page.

Instead I see "Local Encrypted Vault for Notes & Notebooks", which isn't mentioned here in Discourse.

I hope I'm not missing something. I was looking forward to developments in securing the plugin ecosystem.

Akshaj's original proposal was for note encryption, but because we have 2 candidates with that proposal, he is doing the strengthening the plugin ecosystem project instead
