[noumbis...@gmail.com]

Hello Everyone! Am Noumbissi Valere, a student from Cameroon. Am skilled in python and have used django to build some web apps. Am new to open source and will love to contribute to django, hoping to participate for GSoC this Year. Please can anyone help me on how to get started?

Hello Noumbissi ,

I think you're skilled in python but you're not enough skilled in "" GOOGLEing" .

you can start with the officiel django tutorial.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/intro/tutorial01/

Best regards.

Hi Folks. 

First off: can we please keep it civil. Let's offer positive responses where possible. Thanks 

There's no harm in people asking for help: there is a contributing guide, but if folks aren't finding it, perhaps we need a bigger sign-post.  

So...

The place to begin is here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/

See the Development Dashboard: https://dashboard.djangoproject.com

Looking at Unreviewed Tickets on the issue tracker and helping to Triage them is super helpful. 

That's a good place to get familiar. 

That doesn't make a GSoC project, so looking through Accepted tickets (take your time! 🙂) 

would be a good place to look for ideas. 

I don't think we have a ready list of GSoC-scale project ideas we can point you to I'm afraid. (Anyone?)

I hope that at least gets you started. 

Welcome aboard! 

Kind Regards,

Carlton

[Noumbissi Valere]

Thanks Carlton.

Also, if Django does participate in GSoC this year, they'll have an ideas page for it eventually similar to something like this - https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/SummerOfCode2018.

The best thing that you can do today to improve your chances is start contributing!
