About Gsoc 2026

[Nisha Kulkarni]

Dear Chromium Team,

I hope this message finds you well.
My name is Nisha kulkarni, and I am very interested in contributing to Chromium as part of Google Summer of Code 2026.

Could you please guide me on how to get started — particularly any recommended resources, documentation, or contribution guidelines that would help me understand your project structure?
Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could point me toward some beginner-friendly or “good first issues” suitable for new contributors.

Thank you for your time and for running such an impactful open-source initiative.
I look forward to contributing to Chromium and learning from your community.

Warm regards,

Nisha.
