+We are happy to announce that Typelevel will be participating in [Google Summer of Code 2023][GSoC], under the auspice of the [Scala Center]! If you are a student, this is a wonderful opportunity to spend your summer working on Scala open source projects with mentorship from Typelevel maintainers, while earning a stipend.
+
+We are proposing the following three projects:
+
+- [io_uring backend for Cats Effect + FS2 JVM][io_uring] for efficient, non-blocking network I/O. This will be the flagship of the Cats Effect [I/O Integrated Runtime Concept][io-integrated].
+
+- [http4s Ember WebSocket client][websocket], which opens doors to implement protocols used by Kubernetes and GraphQL while cross-building for JVM, Node.js, and Native.
+
+- [Pure Scala Open Telemetry implementation][telemetry] for [otel4s], an exciting new offering that promises to integrate observability into the major Typelevel libraries.
+
+Each of these projects is an important enhancement for the Typelevel ecosystem. Taken together, they are a major milestone towards offering a full-featured stack for developing services and deploying on high-performance runtimes available for JVM, Node.js, and Native.
+
+Moreover, we are excited to welcome you to the Typelevel community and we hope that this program will be only the beginning of your open source journey. [Applications open on March 20!][apply] Until then, please feel free to reach out or join us on [Discord]; we look forward to getting to know you :)
