Google Summer of Code: NO Blender projects supported [Updated]

Bart · March 2, 2015

Ton just announced that GSoC will not be supporting any Blender projects this year. This is an unexpected turn of events, and Ton is trying to find out why.

Interesting news: No Google Summer of Code for Blender Foundation. After 10 years in the program… will ask them feedback. #b3d

If you have any theories why this is, let us know!

Update March 4:

GSoC: our "ideas" page was not good. Google wants to see written out project proposals now. Accepted example: https://t.co/XbPnOcM0eG #b3d

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
