+
+A week ago, Google announced that `185 open source organizations who have
+been selected for the Google Summer of Code 2026
+<https://opensource.googleblog.com/2026/02/introducing-the-185-organizations-for-gsoc-2026.html>`_,
+one of the biggest GSoCs ever.
+
+I am happy to announce that, **for the tenth consecutive year, OpenWISP
+has been accepted into this program**! Over the past 9 years, we've
+completed over **25 successful projects**, most of which have been merged
+and are now essential parts of OpenWISP.
+
+I'm incredibly proud of what we've built together. Many contributors who
+started their journey with us have gone on to shape the open source world
+and are still contributing today. GSoC keeps bringing fresh talent through
+our doors, and honestly, that never gets old.
+
+Check out our `list of ideas for GSoC 2026
+<https://openwisp.io/docs/dev/developer/gsoc-ideas-2026.html>`_ if you're
+interested in joining us this year.
+
+I held off on this announcement because I wanted to share some big news:
+**I just merged the last three GSoC25 pull requests which were still
+open**.
+
+These took months of aggressive testing, reviewing, and stress testing,
+because they touched around **20,000 lines of code across 3 different
+OpenWISP core modules**: something that doesn't happen every day and is
+not exactly a walk in the park.
+
+The merged PRs are:
+
+- `General Map: Indoor, Mobile, Linkable URLs
+  <https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-monitoring/pull/738>`_, see also
+  `Geographic & Indoor Maps
+  <https://openwisp.io/docs/dev/monitoring/user/geo-indoor-maps.html>`_
+  for more information.
+- `WHOIS Information and IP Address-Based Geolocation
+  <https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-controller/pull/1175>`_, see also
+  `WHOIS Lookup
+  <https://openwisp.io/docs/dev/controller/user/whois.html>`_ and
+  `Estimated Location
+  <https://openwisp.io/docs/dev/controller/user/estimated-location.html>`_
+  for more information.
+- `Improve UX and Flexibility of the Firmware Upgrader Module
+  <https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-firmware-upgrader/pull/377>`_, see
+  also `GSoC 2025: Improve UX and Flexibility of the Firmware Upgrader
+  Module
+  <https://openwisp.org/blog/gsoc-2025-improve-ux-and-flexibility-of-the-firmware-upgrader-module/>`_
+  for more information.
+
+Huge achievements, all of them.
+
+Time to rest up, I've been working like a maniac to get this done on time.
+GSoC 2026 awaits!
