+We are excited to announce the RSoC 2021! Rizin Summer of code is a summer
+internship program. [Together with the KeenLab of Tencent](https://keenlab.tencent.com/zh/2021/03/04/RSoC-keenlab-2021/) we provide an opportunity
+for students to work full-time on Rizin and RzGhidra.
+We used experience gathered by participating in Google Summer of Code as an organization and
+organizing our own RSoC as part of the radare2 project.
+
+The application period continued through all of April with fierce competition between candidates. Finally, we chose
+two students. Let them introduce themselves, and we wish them luck!
+
+## Heersin: Intermediate language improvements
+
+Hello, I'm [Heersin](https://github.com/Heersin) from China, an undergraduate student majoring in information security. At the very first, I was looking for a handful RE tool on the Linux platform, and then I met radare2. I have been using it to solve some basic CTF tasks and dumps from some malwares. I found there are some imperfect features (the concept of project, ESIL, search...) and want to contribute to it. After knowing there is a new fork named Rizin, which aimed at refactoring radare2, I started to get involved.
+
+During my spare time, I've done some work for rizin, including:
+   1. Update some out-of-date pages in the rizin documentation and add more examples.
+   2. Fix some bugs in `pyc` plugin
+   3. Add support for `luac` format
+   4. Extend the testsuite to cover more platforms
+
+For RSoC this year, I will be working on the ESIL and follow the [issue #277](https://github.com/rizinorg/rizin/issues/277) to refactor it, and will add support for floating point and bitvectors. I will also try to fix some issues in ESIL (e.g. prevent rizin from getting stuck when hitting some C-library functions).
+
+It will be an exciting and challenging summer, looking forward to it!

+## Basstorm: Types analysis
+
+Hi, I'm [basstorm](https://github.com/Basstorm) from China, and I am a 21 years old student. Over the last couple of weeks, I have done some bug fixes and improved the class analysis module:
+
+- Fixed display of duplicate vtables in `acll` command when using `aaa` command to analyze over 2 times.
+- Improved the output of the `acll` command to be more concise and clear.
+- Implemented the integration of data from the **RzBin** and **RzAnalysis** modules, which makes the results of class analysis more accurate.
+- Implemented constructor and destructor detection based on the function name.
+
+This summer, I am going to do the following tasks:
+
+- Improve the support of PDB Structure.
+- Implementing new features in **RzTypes**.
+- Continue to implement new features or bug fixes around class analysis.
