 We have prepared a [list of project ideas][gsoc repo] that can serve as inspiration for potential GSoC contributors that would like to send a project proposal to the Rust organization.

We have also prepared a [proposal guide][proposal guide] that should help you with preparing your project proposals.
 
+You can start discussing the project ideas with Rust Project maintainers immediately. The project proposal application period starts on 18. 3. 2024, and ends on 2. 4. 2024 at 18:00 UTC. Take note of that deadline, as there will be no extensions!

 If you are interested in contributing to the Rust Project, we encourage you to check out our project idea list and send us a GSoC project proposal! Of course, you are also free to discuss these projects and/or try to move them forward even if you do not intend to (or cannot) participate in GSoC. We welcome all contributors to Rust, as there is always enough work to do.
 
 This is the first time that the Rust Project is participating in GSoC, so we are quite excited about it. We hope that participants in the program can improve their skills, but also would love for this to bring new contributors to the Project and increase the awareness of Rust in general. We will publish another blog post later this year with more information about our participation in the program.
