OWASP BLT & GSOC Partnership

OWASP is an open community dedicated to enabling organizations to conceive, develop, acquire, operate, and maintain applications that can be trusted. OWASP has been an active participant in the Google Summer of Code program, providing students with the opportunity to contribute to various OWASP projects.

OWASP BLT (Bug Logging Tool) has been participating in the Google Summer of Code program for the past 5 consecutive years, from 2020 to 2024. OWASP BLT is an open-source platform dedicated to making the internet safer through community-driven bug reporting and collaboration.

All students currently enrolled in an accredited institution are welcome to participate in the Google Summer of Code program, hopefully along with the OWASP Foundation.
