Google 代码之夏 2025
Electron has once again been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025! Google Summer of Code is a global program focused on bringing new contributors into open source software development.
For more details about the program, visit Google’s Summer of Code homepage.
关于我们
Electron 是一个 JavaScript 框架，用于使用 Web 技术构建跨平台桌面应用程序。 Electron 的核心框架是一个编译的二进制可执行文件，由 Chromium 和 Node.js 构建，大多以 C++ 编写。
Outside of the Electron core repository, we also maintain several projects to support the Electron ecosystem, including:
- Tools for end-user distribution (e.g. Electron Forge and update.electronjs.org).
- 面向 Electron 开发人员的学习材料（例如 electronjs.org 和 Electron Fiddle）。
- Internal tools to enhance developer productivity (e.g. Electron Build Tools and Sheriff).
As a GSoC contributor, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with some of Electron’s core contributors on one of many projects under the github.com/electron umbrella.
申请前
If you aren’t very familiar with Electron, we would recommend you start by reading the documentation and trying out some of the examples in Electron Fiddle.
To learn more about distributing Electron apps, try creating a sample application with Electron Forge:
npm init electron-app@latest my-app
在稍微熟悉了代码之后，请加入 Electron Discord 服务器.
If this is your first time participating in Google Summer of Code or if you’re new to open source in general, we recommend reading Google’s Contributor Guide before engaging with the community.
Project contributions
We encourage you to take a look at any repositories that are relevant to the project ideas you are interested in. One way of doing your research is to make contributions by reporting bugs, triaging existing issues, or submitting pull requests. Doing so is an effective way of getting hands-on practice with our codebases, but is not mandatory for proposal submissions. A well-crafted proposal should be able to demonstrate your understanding of the code without needing to refer to past contributions.
Here are a few tips if you are looking to contribute to Electron before submitting your proposal:
- Please provide descriptive issue or PR descriptions when submitting contributions. Regardless of the code itself, putting effort into the written part of a contribution shows us that you can be an effective communicator in a collaborative environment.
- PRs are always welcome for open issues. You do not need to comment on an issue asking a maintainer if you can be assigned to it. Note that we still encourage you to discuss potential solutions on an issue if you need to refine an idea for a solution, but comments strictly asking if you can work on something are redundant and add noise to the issue tracker.
- Low-effort project contributions (e.g. invalid issue reports, trivial wording changes in a repo README, or minor stylistic changes to front-end code) will negatively impact your final proposal, as they take up limited maintainer time and do not provide any net benefit to the Electron project.
- While AI coding assistants can be an effective tool for debugging and understanding new concepts, we highly discourage contributions that are copy/pasted directly from AI-generated output. These often turn out to be of low quality, and it's often more effort for maintainers to clean up code generated from an LLM than for us to just reject a PR altogether.
Crafting your proposal
有兴趣与 Electron 合作吗？ First, check out the seven project idea drafts we have prepared. All listed ideas are open for proposals.
If you have a unique idea not on the list, we are open to considering it, but ensure your proposal is detailed and thoroughly outlined. 如有疑问，我们建议坚持使用我们列出的想法。
您的申请应包括：
- A detailed proposal outlining what you plan to achieve over the summer.
- 您作为开发者的背景。 如果你有简历，请附上一份副本。
Otherwise, tell us about your past technical experience.
- Lack of experience in certain areas won’t disqualify you, but it will help our mentors work out a plan to best support you and make sure your summer project is successful.
A detailed guide of what to submit as part of your Electron application is here. Submit proposals directly to the Google Summer of Code portal. Proposals emailed to the Electron team will not be considered as final submissions.
For more guidance on your proposal, we recommend you follow the official Google Summer of Code proposal writing advice here.
Applications open on March 24th, 2025 and close on April 8th, 2025.
📚 For GSoC 2024, @piotrpdev, worked on adding API History to the Electron core documentation. To see what Piotr worked on during his summer with Electron, read his report in the 2024 GSoC program archives.
🔐 For GSoC 2022, @aryanshridhar worked on enabling Context Isolation in Electron Fiddle. 如果你想要看到 Aryan 在 Electron 上做了什么，你可以在 2022 GSoC 程序档案阅读他的报告。
