Aspiring GSoC Contributor

Hello Django Community,
I’m Aman, a first-year CS student passionate about Python and web development. I’m excited to contribute to Django Software Foundation under GSOC.

I have experience in Python and am currently learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I would love to contribute by fixing beginner-friendly issues. Can you please guide me on where to start?

Thanks,
Aman

but still confused how to get involved in the Forum discussion, do you get any meaningful
direction?

We will work together, team work are always great😎

For providing the source . i am trying my best ,please can you give me the exact path for the gsoc 25 .I am struggling with how to start the contributions .

Thank you very much @DevilsAutumn. On wiki/GSoC2025 there are ~7 ideas listed, we can work on that or on our own idea, I read in the docs that according to that, I have to open a ticket and propose the idea in the forum before start working?
Can you clarify it please :hugs:

no worry, It’s never be too late, we can still work exceptionally, just be active in forum and communicate with others.
