Here's the news most of you were waiting for, the new changes in community activities and
GSoC 2025 pre-requirements
All wanna be selected contributors will have to deliver pre-required tasks if they want to be considered, as we have to be sure you're familiar with your tech stack and about your coding capabilities, very next to your soft skill abilities.
Please read these instructions carefully, watch the 1st community meeting for season 2024-2025 and if you have any questions contact us the only way to communicate with us, our lovely Gmail account;
liquidgalaxylab@gmail.com
Note: you can create the tasks in the order you want, but for us to approve every task we need them in order. Send every task as noted, and wait for approval to send the next one. We'll not consider contributors not following the rules.
For every task, we need a video and the GitHub code link, if any, as proof, so first create in your own Google Drive a folder with read permissions for everyone, with your name and GSoC 2025, and create subfolders for every task. Do not delete this till Sept 2025. Send us your first task in this main folder.
The videos for this use have to be a 3-minute max video, recorded horizontally in full HD, showing up your face talking and the screen recorded from the camera, not screen captured.
Please always name all files with task name, your name and GSOC year (2025).

All the entries have to be on the same Google Doc, we’ll not accept pdfs or .docx, and please name the doc with your name and GSoC2024.
Each entry has to be a minimum of half a page, as you have to explain the aforementioned parts and the code or instructions involved.
You’ll be credited if the entry is published, and also you can be invited to write other ones if the ones you choose have been already written many times.
Send proof of task following guidelines.
