    2021-03-09

    For 2021, GNU has not been selected as a GSoC organization. This also means that GNUnet GSoC projects will not be offered through the GSoC programme. Thanks to all of those interested in our proposed projects and their efforts in preparing proposals, including preliminary discussions with us.
