This summer marked the ninth consecutive year that the PEcAn Project participated in Google Summer of Code (GSoC). Over that time, 30 student-led projects have made significant contributions to PEcAn’s mission of advancing open, reproducible ecosystem modeling.
The 2025 cohort continued this tradition with three contributions that improve functionality and user experience.
The PEcAn Project is excited to announce the availability of funding for small projects and activities. This fund is made possible by GSOC mentor stipends.
We invite proposals for small grants to support activities that advance and promote PEcAn-related work.
As Google Summer of Code 2024 comes to a close, the PEcAn project is proud to highlight the outstanding work of this year's participants. Participating in GSOC over the past eight years has been an opportunity not to expand our code base as well as our community.
Improving Github Actions for the PEcAn Project: Report on my 2023 GSOC project.
The project aims at creating and deploying a user friendly, interactive and accessible website for PEcAn Project. PEcAn Project's website consisted of html pages, bookdown and pkgdown pages being rendered separately. In this project, all separate sections have been integrated as a consistent, modern website with elegant UI with the help of Docusaurus 2, a static site generator. This project has been created as a part of GSoC'21.
