Hi everyone! :wave:

Our Google Summer of Code 2025 recap is now live on the Kotlin blog - together with individual stories from this year's amazing contributors → <https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2025/11/google-summer-of-code-2025/>

They shared their GSoC experiences, project details, tips on writing strong proposals, how they approached the program, and what they learned along the way - a great resource for anyone thinking about joining GSoC in the future.
