    Are participants from Ukraine, Russia, or Belarus allowed to participate in GSoC 2022?

    Due to current circumstances, GSoC 2022 is not accepting participants (Contributors, Mentors or Organization Administrators) from Russia, Belarus, or the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic (“DNR”) and Luhansk People’s Republic (“LNR”). There are no restrictions on participants located within Ukraine but outside of the DNR and LNR.

    Not even a ban from sanctioned countries like we usually see. Oh what’s this, Google has an office in Moscow? Well then

    Edit: And for those curious, Moscow isn’t the only office with no openings (i.e. neither Kyiv nor Edmonton have positions)

      So Crimea is fine then? Cause i think they still consider it part of Ukraine.

        I’m sure they mean to exclude people from Crimea as well, but since it has been de facto a part of Russia for 8 years, I guess it just goes without saying
