Seeking Guidance on How to Contribute to INCF

Hello Everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Divyanshu Kumar, and I am currently in the 2nd year of my BTech program in Computer Science. I have a strong foundation in Java, Spring, Spring Boot, JavaScript, and MySQL, and I am deeply passionate about open-source contributions and continuous learning.

I am particularly interested in contributing to initiatives like the Google Summer of Code (GSoC), as I believe these programs provide an excellent platform for collaborative learning and working on impactful projects.

I would be grateful for your guidance on the following points:

  1. Getting Started with INCF Contributions:
    Should I prioritize exploring the projects listed in the Project Ideas section or focus on resolving issues directly from the INCF GitHub repository?
  2. Preparation for GSoC and Similar Programs:
    What steps can I take to prepare effectively while ensuring that my contributions bring genuine value to the projects I work on?

My goal is to grow as a developer by working on real-world projects and contributing meaningfully to open-source initiatives. I am committed to dedicating the time and effort required to make the most of this journey.

Thank you for your time and any advice or resources you can share to help me get started. I look forward to learning and contributing under your guidance.

Best regards,
Divyanshu Kumar!:slightly_smiling_face:
