An interactive 3D globe that maps every Google Summer of Code organization on the planet. Filter, explore, shortlist, and find your GSoC home.
GLOBOC plots all 520+ GSoC organizations from 2016–2026 on a spinning dark globe. Each dot is a real org — colored by domain, sized by years of participation. Filter by year, category, or tech stack. Click any org to see its full profile. Find your next open source contribution.
Built as a tool for GSoC 2026 applicants who are overwhelmed by 500+ org choices.

Org data is sourced from gsocorganizations.dev — a community-maintained GSoC archive by @nishantwrp. Coordinates are geocoded from org HQ city.
Finding a GSoC org to contribute to is overwhelming. 500+ orgs, no map, no way to filter by what you actually care about. GLOBOC makes it visual, fast, and actually fun.
MIT — do whatever you want with it.
