Announcing QEMU Google Summer of Code 2025 internships
QEMU is participating in Google Summer of Code again this year! Google Summer of Code is an open source internship program that offers paid remote work opportunities for contributing to open source. Internships run May through August, so if you have time and want to experience open source development, read on to find out how you can apply.
Each intern is paired with one or more mentors, experienced QEMU contributors who support them during the internship. Code developed by the intern is submitted through the same open source development process that all QEMU contributions follow. This gives interns experience with contributing to open source software. Some interns then choose to pursue a career in open source software after completing their internship.
