+
+We are excited to announce that Electron has been accepted as a mentoring organization for
+the 20th edition of Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2024! Google Summer of Code is a global
+program focused on bringing new contributors into open source software development.
+
+For more program details, check out Google’s [Summer of Code homepage](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/).
+
+## About us
+
+Electron is a JavaScript framework for building cross-platform desktop applications using
+web technologies. The core Electron framework is a compiled binary executable built with
+[Chromium](https://chromium.org/) and [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/), and is mostly written in C++.
+
+Outside of Electron core, we also work on a variety of projects to help sustain the
+Electron organization, such as:
+
+- End-user distribution tooling (e.g. [Electron Forge](https://www.electronforge.io/)
+  and [update.electronjs.org](https://github.com/electron/update.electronjs.org)).
+- Learning materials for Electron developers (e.g. [electronjs.org](http://electronjs.org)
+  and [Electron Fiddle](https://github.com/electron/fiddle)).
+- Internal tools to streamline developer productivity (e.g. [Electron Build Tools](https://github.com/electron/build-tools)
+  and [Sheriff](https://github.com/electron/sheriff)).
+
+As a Summer of Code contributor, you would be collaborating with some of Electron’s core contributors
+on one of many projects under the [github.com/electron](http://github.com/electron) umbrella.
+
+## Before applying
+
+If you aren’t very familiar with Electron, we would recommend you start by reading the
+[documentation](https://electronjs.org/docs/latest) and trying out examples in [Electron Fiddle](https://electronjs.org/fiddle).
+
+To learn more about Electron app distribution, you can also play around with
+[Electron Forge](https://www.electronforge.io/) by creating a sample application:
+
+```bash
+npm init electron-app@latest my-app
+```
+
+After familiarizing yourself with the code a bit, come join the conversation on the
+[Electron Discord server](https://discord.gg/electronjs).
+
+:::info
+
+If this is your first time participating in Google Summer of Code or if you’re new to open source in general,
+we recommend reading Google’s [Contributor Guide](https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/) as a first step
+before engaging with the community.
+
+:::
+
+## Drafting your proposal
+
+Interested in collaborating with Electron? First, check out the [seven project idea drafts](https://electronhq.notion.site/Electron-Google-Summer-of-Code-2024-Ideas-List-a1cb01daab3c48a98c30e411e96b218d?pvs=74)
+that we have prepared. All of the listed ideas are currently open for proposals.
+
+Have a different idea you’d like us to consider? We’re also open to accepting new ideas that
+are not on the proposed project list, but make sure your approach is thoroughly outlined and detailed.
+When in doubt, we recommend sticking with our listed ideas.
+
+Your application should include:
+
+- Your proposal: a written document that describes in detail what you plan to achieve over
+  the course of the summer.
+- Your background as a developer. If you have a resume, please include a copy. Otherwise,
+  tell us about your past technical experience.
+  - Lack of experience in certain areas won’t disqualify you, but it will help our mentors
+    work out a plan to best support you and make sure your summer project is successful.
+
+[A detailed guide of what to submit as part of your Electron application is here.](https://electronhq.notion.site/Electron-GSoC-2024-Contributor-Guidance-f1f4de7a0d9a4664a96c8d4dd70cb208?pvs=4)
+Submit proposals directly to the Google Summer of Code portal. Note that proposals emailed to the
+Electron team rather than submitted through the application portal will not be considered as a final submission.
+
+If you want more guidance on your proposal or are unsure of what to include, we also recommend that
+you follow [the official Google Summer of Code proposal writing advice here](https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/writing-a-proposal).
+
+Applications open on **March 18th, 2024** and close on **April 2nd, 2024**.

+
+Our 2022 Google Summer of Code intern, [@aryanshridhar](https://github.com/aryanshridhar),
+did an amazing job! If you want to see what Aryan worked on during his summer with Electron,
+you can read his report in the [2022 GSoC program archives](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2022/organizations/electron).
