You can rewatch here our latest MEET with GSoC wanna-be contributors, where we answered your questions and made some announcements:
January 28
The Liquid Galaxy project has applied to the Google Summer of Code program 2025.
As you can see and have to know by our calendar, Google will communicate on February 26 what organizations will take part this year, so two things:
- Continue working hard with our pre-requirements.
- Cross your fingers and Good Luck !!
On February 6, 16:00 CET we'll have an Ask Me Anything related to GSoC and the Liquid Galaxy project.
In the meantime remember:
- We have posted in our main menu on this unique post for GSoC 2025, our Project Ideas List , with all the projects we propose to you for this GSoC.
- Also you have the Master Proposal document with instructions.
You can start thinking and writing about what project you want to present for, BUT till February 27 we'll not accept any document. It is up to you if you want to start early but remember, no Google, not any organization, so not us, know as today who will be at GSoC.
You can start commenting between you and on our Discord channel, #GSOC2025, but if you look for official information always read here, or from a senior mentor.

Nov 23, 2024
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 sending the drive main GSoC folder with read permissions to anyone. (edited for clarity)
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).
DATELINES clarification (as Jan 31)
Contributors have to try to give us the task on time, due that we need time to evaluate your abilities, both technical and soft skills.
Contributors that arrive late to the party, nothing bad there, just simply have to hurry up.
- Task 1: Install a virtual LG Due January 10
To see how we want the video take a look too at the many GSoC 2024 contributors' task 1 videos,
- T2: Create a basic Flutter app or web app* Due January 20
You have to create a basic LG app, where the user can select on a simple window:
- To send 2 different kmls, selectable one by one.
* As as Nov 23, 2024, the new web tech stack is not fully defined, our counsel if you're starting early is go Dart/Flutter.
Send proof of task following rules, including a video explaining your code (5 mins max) (edited for clarity) , and the kml that you have created. If the kml is not created by you, please mention the source where you took it from.
Send us the videos, the kml files and the released build apk.
- T3: Creating and delivering technical presentations
For the other contributors, remember that attending presentations and interacting will help your LG Score, giving you more opportunities to be selected for GSoC 2025.
--Added template and edited for clarity as 7.1.25--
As samples, and to get train you can watch the great presentations contributors did in the past, such as:
Integrating Google Maps in Flutter for Liquid Galaxy apps, by Saumya Bhattacharya
https://www.youtube.com/live/Rkt1TtyrD54?si=drN96E7UdqHw-Ktg
- T4: Creating at least 3 entries for our Liquid Galaxy WIKI
Please write with clarity for others to understand, and quote code in the right way.
Add graphics if needed, and remember to store the images in the same folder independently.
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.
Due date before GSoC contributors announcement.
(edited for clarity)
- T5: UI creation challenges ---added 31.12.2024--
Some of the challenges have it written specifically that it must be done in KML.
Your judgement will be on whether you can create such pixel perfect micro interactions, animations and interfaces, as for 2025 we want the best looking UI.
Submission link will always be a Github repo, containing all the code, the web pages can be deployed while the app pages can be built and you can send us the apk.
The kml files can be kept in the assets folder.
