Hello OpenAstronomy community!

Two days ago, Google announced the list of selected contributors to participate on [GSoC](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) this year. The selected are:

For #sunpy

- Akshit Tyagi to work in Sunpy’s Scraper Redesign
- Aritra Sinha will improve Solar Feature Representation for HEK (Heliophysics Event Knowledgebase)

For GNUAstro,

- Labib Asari which will work on Gnuastro Python Library and Cuda Integration

For Stingray,

- Gaurav Joshi to work on Quasi Periodic Oscillation detection using Gaussian Processes, and
- Sri Guru Datta Pisupati will develop code for Unevenly Sampled Data

For Radis,

- Menasria Racim will work on a Common API for large molecular databases, and
- Somesh Verma will work with Out of Core Calculations to reduce memory uses.

As you see, there’s a lot of amazing and exciting projects that will improve our ecosystem.

The work will start at the end of May, and we will be organising a series of events so you can follow up with the progress. As usual, they will be posting regular blog posts that will be [aggregated on our Open Astronomy Universe](https://openastronomy.org/Universe_OA/).

Please, join me to congratulate all of them and thank the wonderful mentors that will be guiding them throughout this journey.
