First, we are going to present features that were added since last year, including document signing support implemented by Malika during her internship. This comprises both initial support for manual signatures (drawing or inserting a handwritten signature image) and improvement of digital signatures. We'll walk through the design decisions, the challenges of integrating signatures into the existing Papers architecture, and what still lies ahead. Then, we are going to try to lure new contributors into Papers development with a few interesting projects that will be fun to develop! They would also be very useful for users: auto-cropping pages, a new rendering cache, built-in translations, and more. Markus is a maintainer of Papers since May 2024. He did a Google Summer of Code to improve Papers on mobile and has contributed in most areas since then. Lucas initially implemented support for ink annotations in Papers. He then became a Papers maintainer in March 2025. Malika did a 2025-2026 Outreachy internship within Papers. She worked on document signing. After her internship, she became a regular contributor to Papers. GNOME is a free and open-source software environment project supported by a non-profit foundation. Together, the community of contributors and the Foundation create a computing platform and software ecosystem, composed entirely of free software, that is designed to be elegant, efficient, and easy to use. GUADEC is the GNOME community’s largest conference, bringing together hundreds of users, contributors, community members, and enthusiastic supporters for a week of talks and workshops.
