Request for Guidance on Contributing to Chromium for Google Summer of Code 2026

[Ranjan kumar Jena]

Dear Chromium Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Ranjan Kumar Jena, and I am a student of Integrated M.Sc. in Material Science and Engineering from Odisha, India. I have strong skills in C, C++, Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Git/GitHub, and I am deeply interested in open-source software development.

I am very eager to contribute to the Chromium project and would like to prepare for participation in Google Summer of Code 2026. I have started exploring the Chromium documentation and source code, but I would appreciate your guidance on how to get started effectively particularly regarding:

Recommended areas or components for new contributors.

Any beginner-friendly issues to help understand the workflow.

Best practices or development tools used in Chromium.


I am enthusiastic about learning, collaborating, and contributing meaningfully to the Chromium community. Your guidance will be invaluable in helping me start my journey and grow as an open-source contributor.

Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your suggestions and directions on how I can begin contributing.

Warm regards,
Ranjan Kumar Jena
