I'm happy to announce that Google Summer of Code has accepted a toplevel mentoring organization for Ruby itself, in addition to Ruby on Rails and SciRuby. You can view the organization profile here (it could probably use some beefing up): [https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org2/google/gsoc2015/ruby](https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org2/google/gsoc2015/ruby) I've created a Google Group to serve as the central point of contact for the GSoC mentoring organization: [https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/rubygsoc](https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/rubygsoc) Unfortunately JRuby, which has been a mentoring organization for several years, was rejected for the second year in a row, but we've partnered with them and they will be acting as co-mentors. We're definitely looking for more mentors and more project ideas. If you have any ideas, please add them to our Ideas List: > **[rubygsoc/rubygsoc](https://github.com/rubygsoc/rubygsoc/wiki/Ideas-List)** > > rubygsoc - Ruby Google Summer of Code project If you're interested in mentoring, please join the Google Group and send a message! > **···** > > -- > Tony Arcieri ---

I've reached out to the Rubinius folks. Would be great to have them included too. > **···** > > On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 8:49 AM, Bar Hofesh \ wrote: > > > Very good news ! > > Maybe get in touch with Rubinius project ? That would be cool. > > -- > Tony Arcieri ---

That's great! 🙂 SciRuby's project ideas page is: > **[Google Summer of Code 2015 Ideas](https://github.com/SciRuby/sciruby/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2015-Ideas)** > > Tools for scientific computation in Ruby. Contribute to SciRuby/sciruby development by creating an account on GitHub. Some students are already looking out for projects. I hope we can get some cool stuff this year 🙂 > **···** > > ----- > Carlos Agarie > Software Engineer > +55 11 97320-3878 | @carlos\_agarie > > 2015-03-03 16:34 GMT-03:00 Tony Arcieri \: > > > On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 8:49 AM, Bar Hofesh \ wrote: > > > > > Very good news ! > > > Maybe get in touch with Rubinius project ?

This is great news. I've been helping interview potential summer interns the past couple of weeks. It's amazing how many are learning Python at school and have no experience with Ruby. It will be nice to get some pure Ruby exposure out there.
