Come for the GSOC code experience, stay for the OS collaborative team environment

Once more, Inkscape has been approved to accept students to work on the project through Google Summer of Code (GSOC) 2020. We are excited about offering students a chance to work with mentors on this open source (OS) project.

When the Inkscape community seeks Google Summer of Code (GSoC) applicants, we're hoping to find people who are curious about the project and the software. Part of the application process requires applicants to complete sample work on the project to demonstrate their skills and understanding.

At the beginning of 2019, Valentin joined the community, tackled several tasks and shared the outline of a project he wanted to work on as a GSoC student.

Congratulations to Bayu Rizaldhan Rayes, the winner of the Inkscape 1.0 About Screen Contest!

We recently caught up with Bayu, to ask him some questions about himself and about his use of Inkscape.
