to Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)

Hello my name is Ananth Raghav and I am planning to participate in GSOC 2021. I would be grateful if the community could offer me some advice with the following doubts. I have read the GSOC website for contributing and have basic knowledge of python and how to write tests in Django, how to write patches in the development version of Django after extensive reading. I know the most basics and my doubt is should I know any pre requisites of Django or python before I get started so as to get acquainted with the platform.

I have the basic knowledge of python and how Django is used in deploying web frameworks efficiently and have even referred to Django's website on how to contribute. Any additional advice would be very appreciated :)

Thank you

Adam Johnson

Hi Ananth

I responded in the other thread you started: https://groups.google.com/g/django-developers/c/EEij1pzCVD8/m/FkWfc9iHAQAJ

As far as GSoC goes we have limited slots and successful candidates have often made some contributions to Django or a similar project before, even if small. If you haven't done that yet, that would be the first place to look.

Thanks,

Adam
