The GSoC 2023 wiki for perf is now available: https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/gsoc/2023-gsoc-perf
GSoC 2023 is trying to further broaden who can participate, and "newcomers" are eligible. I asked for some clarity on what qualifies as a newcomer and got the following reply:
"Newcomer" means newcomer in free software coding not newcomer in IT in general, so people who have only worked in closed-source before or people who were only managing in open-source but not coding are eligible.
Thanks, Ian
