Thanks for owning up. I'm sure you won't make that mistake again. And we all, except me, make mistakes, sometimes relatively serious.

Hello,
As we’ve noted previously https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/4KUEH7LAYTKMN5IZIF7B3WNE2V3C4HKT/, Wikimedia will not be participating in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025.
To be clear, I was responsible for filling out the organization application form and somehow inadvertently missed a step in the process. I was unaware of this oversight until last week, after Google announced their decision as to which organizations would participate in this year’s GSoC p rogram. As part of our Developer Outreach Team’s communication with Google, we were advised that since I had missed a step in the application process, Wikimedia would not be participating in this year's GSoC program .
I deeply regret my error and know that this is a big disappointment for the mentors and prospective interns that had hoped to participate this year, but I completely respect Google’s decision.
Looking forward to next year, we will do our best to ensure all process steps are completed in our application to be a participating organization in the 2026 GSoC cohort.
Sincerely,
Deb
