+#### GSoC
+
+We are happy to announce that GNU Guix participates in the
+[Google Summer of Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) (GSoC),
+under the aegis of the
+[GNU project](https://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2020.html).
+We have collected [project 
ideas](https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/GSoC-2020) related to GNU Guix.
+The list is far from exhaustive, so feel free to bring your own!
+
+The GNU Project participation was announced on Feb. 20. Thanks for the GNU org 
admins for organizing this.
+
+The application period is from March 16. to March 31. The final proposal 
submission deadline is March 31., 2020 at 20:00 CEST.
+
+The student projects are announced on April 27., 2020. We will have to provide 
the number of slots requested to the GNU
+project, so that they can accumulate the numbers to pass on to Google. This 
takes some time, so please prepare the decision
+early, so we don't have to hurry when this information is requested. We kindly 
remind everyone involved
+not to communicate an intern selection decision before the official 
announcement.

+
+#### Outreachy
+
+We are happy to announce that GNU Guix offers a
+[three-month internship through Outreachy](https://www.outreachy.org),
+the inclusion program for groups traditionally underrepresented in free
+software and tech.
+
+We currently propose [three 
subjects](https://www.outreachy.org/apply/project-selection/#gnu-guix) to work 
on:
+
+1. Create [Netlink](https://linux.die.net/man/7/netlink) bindings in Guile.
+2. Improve internationalization support for the [Guix Data 
Service](http://data.guix.gnu.org).
+3. Integration of desktop environments into GNU Guix.
+
+The initial application deadline was on Feb. 25, 2020 at 4PMÂ UTC, so initial 
applications are now closed.
+This means that prospective applicants how did not do the initial application 
yet will have to apply for
+a later Outreachy round.
+
+The project list was finalized on Feb. 27. This means that no new proposals 
can be added for this round, so
+the list above is final.
+
+Funding was confirmed for two internships this round. Thanks for the members 
of the spending committee, who
+are taking care of the financial side of this.
+
+Co-mentor applications are still open, prospective mentors are encouraged to 
apply on the
+[Guix community page](https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/gnu-guix/).
+
+The next phase is the contribution period: March 5, 2020 to April 7, 2020.
+Also the final application deadline is April 7, 2020 at 4PMÂ UTC.
+
+In this phase applicants are working with the mentors on the projects,
+and they have to register a contribution. A registered contribution
+is a mandatory requirement.
+
+Accepted interns will be announced on April 27, 2020 at 4PMÂ UTC. We kindly 
remind everyone involved
+not to communicate an intern selection decision before the official 
announcement.

+Last year we had the pleasure to welcome Laura Lazzati as an Outreachy intern 
working on
+[documentation video 
creation](https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/documentation-video-creation/),
+which led to the videos you can now see on the home page.

+#### About GNU Guix
+
+[GNU Guix](https://guix.gnu.org) is a transactional package
+manager and an advanced distribution of the GNU system that [respects
+user
+freedom](https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html).
+Guix can be used on top of any system running the kernel Linux, or it
+can be used as a standalone operating system distribution for i686,
+x86_64, ARMv7, and AArch64 machines.
+
+In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
+transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management,
+per-user profiles, and garbage collection.  When used as a standalone
+GNU/Linux distribution, Guix offers a declarative, stateless approach to
+operating system configuration management.  Guix is highly customizable
+and hackable through [Guile](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile)
+programming interfaces and extensions to the
+[Scheme](http://schemers.org) language.
