Hello DetectionMetrics community! 😄

We’re excited to share that DetectionMetrics, as part of the JdeRobot organization, has been selected for Google Summer of Code 2025! One of the proposed projects focuses on expanding DetectionMetrics’ functionality—you can find all the details in the official project description.

With the rise of LLMs, the best way to showcase your skills and enthusiasm is through prior contributions and active engagement. That’s why we’re reaching out to our recent contributors—if you’re interested in participating in GSoC 2025, now is the time to act!

How to Apply

The application period is already open and runs until April 8th (official timeline). Here’s what you need to do:

✅ Review JdeRobot's pre-requisites for GSoC candidates. This includes completing some entry-level challenges and filling out a Google form to introduce yourself.
➡️ For the DetectionMetrics project, the mandatory challenges are: RoboticsAcademy and Python.

✅ Start drafting your project proposal ASAP! Once you have a draft, reach out to us (the mentors) via email for feedback. Sharing your proposal early gives us time to help refine it, increasing your chances of success.

We’re looking forward to seeing your applications and helping you on your GSoC journey! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

@dpascualhe I have a question regarding the challenges. Should the challenge repository be public or private with you and other mentors added as collaborators?

[dpascualhe]

Public is ok

@dpascualhe is there a specific format/template that we need to follow for designing our proposals?
