Google Summer of Code 2026

**Ideas Page:** https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2026-Ideas

**Mentors:**
- We need more mentors for the borgbackup tasks (see ideas page).
- I personally can do backup mentoring, but will only be primary mentor for 1 student/project. For that project, a backup mentor is needed also.
- We do not know yet how many projects we will get from Google / PSF, but if a potential project has no potential primary mentor, it rather won't happen.

**Students:**
- If you have questions or remarks, please ask below (only about **borgbackup** tasks, vorta and borgmatic have separate sites).
- Get familiar with the code, tools and development workflow.
- Check this issue tracker and the labels, pick something you like (also check if somebody else is already working on it, see issue assignee and open PRs), open a pull request, watch the CI tests if they succeed, check for feedback from us.
