Hello,
My name is David Ayotte and I'm a PhD student in mathematics at Concordia University in Montreal. My research interests are within the field of number theory. More precisely, I study modular forms and their generalization to function field, which we call Drinfeld modular forms. In the past (for my master thesis), I have also studied questions about linking the class number of a quadratic imaginary field with modular forms. Thanks to Sagemath and PARI/GP, I was able to do enlightening experimentations that complemented my work greatly.
Recently, I started to work on this project of mine about a Sagemath module. The goal of my project is to implement Drinfeld modules (which can be seen as analogues of elliptic curves for characteristic p function fields). Moreover, I am interested in writing functions about Drinfeld modular forms. Here's my Github repo: drinfeld-modular-forms. Ultimately, I would like to implement this functionality directly to Sagemath as there are no such functionality yet. You can also refer to my Github page for more of my coding projects.
In summer 2017, I participated to the 1-week workshop Sage Days 87 where I learned the basics of contributing to Sagemath. The goal of this workshop was to develop the p-adics in Sagemath, which were lacking some functionality at the time. During this workshop, I worked on some tickets which were about fixing a bug or reviewing some contribution. Here's some ticket I've worked on:

- #29330: I reviewed this old ticket recently (this weekend). It is about implementing the method is_skew_hermitian() for matrices.
- #23473: I fixed this bug: the method is_one() would return "False" for Integers(1)(1) (which is the only element of the zero ring).
- #23484: I reviewed this ticket about a bug.
- #20308: I reviewed this ticket about the Zeta function for schemes.
These small projects were a good introduction to the development of Sagemath. I learned about the git trac command and how to do doctests. However, I feel that GSoC would be a fantastic opportunity for me to tackle a bigger project and gain more confidence about Sagemath developing as I want to continue contributing to it thereafter.

Dear David,
Welcome on board.
It is very good that you are already familiar with the SageMath
development process. To make all chances on your side, you
should start getting your hand on more serious SageMath
contributions. For example, you could write a class for
the (graded) algebra of quasi-modular forms for the full
SL(2,Z) with basic functionalities (eg q expansion,
derivation).
Feel free to open a tickets and put me in cc. Do not
hesitate if you need pointers.
Best
Vincent
