> I don't use it myself. Out of curiosity, is that because you don't DJ, so have no use for the software; or, because you do DJ but use something else? :) Either way, I concur with your Mixxx assessment! While I haven't mixed or mixxxed for a while (too long?), I have used Mixxx for all my DJing (with a Vestax controller) over the years in a variety of environments from house parties to the playa to camp outs to a community hall to a local bar (perhaps the pinnacle of my DJing "career" as the dance floor included an A-List actor who I didn't even notice because I was just happy that I'd managed to get dance floor so crowded :D ). It was a reliable & useful tool and even at that time offered features that other "free" versions of closed/proprietary DJ software specifically excluded such as set recording. At one point I was exploring running Mixxx on a Raspberry Pi 3 with a dedicated small screen in an attempt to move past the "DJ Staring at Laptop" look but while I did get it (barely) running on that platform it really required more RAM & processor power. (My understanding is that people have by now successfully gotten it running on RPi 4 in that sort of configuration.) Mixxx has the potential to be an interesting FLOSS project case study, I think, because they have unusually thorough & well-presented documentation (https://manual.mixxx.org/2.3/en/); https://manual.mixxx.org/2.3/en/); they compete with multiple extremely popular "free" versions of commercial/proprietary software in the non-trivial audio software niche; they have what I consider one of the best (if not the best) custom UI styles in FLOSS which is functional, visually distinct & stylish (e.g. <https://manual.mixxx.org/2.3/en/_images/mixer-section.png https://manual.mixxx.org/2.3/en/_images/mixer-section.png>); and, have enough community participation to manage at least yearly releases of various sizes. So, yes, Mixxx is a great project & surely one that is more exciting to work on for GSoC than... I dunno, some database system that isn't used by super-cool DJs to entertain hundreds of people around the world. :D
