Seeking GSoC 2025 Django Project Ideas and Mentors

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

Hi Folks.

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is coming up, and Django has enjoyed great success with it over the years.

We’re currently looking for project ideas and prospective mentors for 2025. Do you have an idea for a project or are you interested in mentoring one?

A mentor with an Area of Interest is a great start, and having a concrete project idea is even better. It could be for Django itself or for one of its third-party packages.

Projects need to be feasible within a 12-week GSoC timeframe, though that doesn’t necessarily mean they must be small. Examples include CrossDB JSONField, Redis cache backend, Composite Primary Keys.[1] (but please, no “Add types to Django” suggestions as that’s too broad for GSoC).

Is there a particular feature missing in one of your third-party apps? Is there a Django ticket you’d love to see resolved? Or perhaps there’s something you’ve been working on that could benefit from dedicated time and mentoring (e.g., the Form Media project that has been discussed)?

For instance, I propose “bring django-template-partials into core”. This idea is well scoped and defined, and I’d be excited to mentor someone through it.

How about you? Share your ideas and let’s make GSoC 2025 another great year for Django!

It’s not 100% clear these are completely doable in the timeframe, but let’s go with it. ↩︎

Django GSoC 2025 Project Ideas

Based on your message, you're seeking:

Project ideas feasible within a 12-week timeframe
Potential mentors for these projects
Ideas for Django core or third-party packages

Your example of bringing django-template-partials into core is an excellent model of a well-scoped project.

Some potential project ideas that might fit the GSoC timeframe could include:

Improving Django's caching mechanisms
Enhancing ORM capabilities for specific use cases
Modernizing specific components of the admin interface
Creating new middleware solutions for common problems
Developing better integration with modern frontend frameworks

For a successful GSoC project, it's important to:

Define clear deliverables
Establish measurable milestones
Ensure the scope is manageable within 12 weeks
Have a mentor with expertise in the specific area
