Introducing myself and looking for good first issues.

[Tanmay Bagri]

Hi everyone! 👋

I am Tanmay Bagri, a student interested in contributing to Spack and Constellation , with the goal of participating in GSoC 2026. I came across the "Expanding User-Facing High-Energy Physics Spack Packages" project and it seems like a perfect fit for me.

About me:
- Comfortable with Python I've used it for various projects, some are displayed on my Github and LinkedIn
- I have used Linux (ubuntu)
- Interested in HEP software and Science overall
- Located in 

What I've done so far:
✅ Installed Spack from GitHub


I'm looking for guidance on:
1. What would be a good first issue for someone interested in HEP packages specifically?
2. When do the Spack community meetings happen? I'd love to join.

Really excited to start contributing! Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Tanmay Bagri

Dear Tanmay,

Thank you for your interest in the HSF. Since you are particularly keen on the GSoC programme, I think it is best that you directly discuss with our kind admins and/or exchange with the proponents of specific proposals listed for this year, all at https://hepsoftwarefoundation.org/activities/gsoc.html. You are of course free to check issues on the relevant packages repositories.

Best wishes,

Eduardo for the HSF
