[OpenAFS-devel] Google Summer of Code 2025 Contributors

[Michael Meffie]

Hello,

I am happy to introduce our two contributors for Google Summer of Code 2025.
Their projects are now underway, and we are excited to be working with them for
the next 12 weeks on OpenAFS.

Please join us in welcoming:

Tejas Sonawane, who will be working on a GNOME Shell Extension for OpenAFS.
Tejas will be mentored by Michael Meffie.

Sushil Pandey, who will be focused on Improving Multi-page Folio Support in the
OpenAFS Linux kernel module. Sushil's mentor for this project is Cheyenne Will.

We encourage you to say hello to Tejas and Sushil if you see them in our IRC
channels or on the mailing lists.

I also want to express my sincere gratitude to the individuals who helped in
getting the GSoC projects started this year.  David Botsch has again stepped up
and done the work needed for the Organization Administration, in addition to
assisting with the proposal reviews.  Andrew Deason organized and reviewed the
project proposals. Mark Vitale, Cheyenne Wills, and Gaurav Saxena assisted with
project proposal reviews.

This year, we saw an incredible response, with a record number of contributor
proposals for Google Summer of Code. We extend a heartfelt thank you to
everyone who submitted a proposal. The quality and effort put into each
submission were truly impressive, and we deeply appreciate the time and
dedication involved. While time constraints limited our participation to two
projects this summer, the quantity and quality of the project proposals made
our selection process both challenging and inspiring.

Best regards,
Mike
