 We are pleased to announce that Typelevel is a Mentoring Organization for [Google Summer of Code 2026][GSoC]! If you are a student, this is a wonderful opportunity to spend your summer working on Scala open source projects with mentorship from Typelevel maintainers, while earning a stipend. You can learn more about what the experience is like in [this blog post][feral-blog] by our 2024 contributor Ching Hian Chew.
 
 Please check out [our project ideas and mentors][ideas] spanning serverless, build tooling, frontend/UIs, systems programming, web assembly, and more. Furthermore, if you have an idea of your own, we would love to hear it: Typelevel members have a wide range of interests and a special fondness for building “at the cutting edge of some incredibly bizarre stuff.”
 
-We look forward to welcoming you to the Typelevel community and we hope that participating in this program will be the beginning of your open source journey. [Applications open on March 16!][apply] Until then, [get started] by [watching our intro presentation][intro] and [making your first contribution][onboard].
