GSOC intro and guidance

[Raj Desai]

Hi everyone,

I am a sophomore student from India and have been working with Django for 2 years and had an amazing experience, got many opportunities because of it, and am still identifying myself as a Django developer. But I think it's high time I start contributing to the framework itself and so I wanna work on it. GSOC is a great start to it. I know I am late but better late than never. So any guidance or discussions are welcome. Would love to interact with the mentors too.

Welcome Raj,

Have you had a look at the GSoC wiki page? https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/SummerOfCode2021 . Do you have any ideas what you'd like to work on?

I'll also paste below my normal reply for anyone seeking to contribute.

Thanks,

Adam

There are many different ways to contribute to Django - the forum, blogging, translating, documenting, writing code, and more. Our Contributing Guide can help you get started with many of these: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/internals/contributing/

If you’re looking to work with the code base (for documentation or code), check out the “Advice for New Contributors” section: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/internals/contributing/new-contributors/ . Then see if you can work through the “Writing Your First Patch” tutorial: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/intro/contributing/ .

If you get stuck or have questions, post back here or in the “Mentorship” section on the forum: https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/internals/mentorship/10

Thanks,

Adam
