GSoC 2026 Aspirant – Interested in Contributing to Django

[Manjunatha-kv01]

Hi everyone,

My name is Manjunath, and I’m a Full Stack Developer with experience in Python, Django, and backend development.

I am interested in contributing to Django for GSoC 2026, particularly in:

• Playwright integration testing
• Django ORM improvements
• Type hinting enhancements

I have experience working with:

• Python, FastAPI, Django
• REST APIs, Docker
• SQL databases

I would appreciate guidance on:

1. Which project idea would be best to start with
2. Beginner-friendly issues I can work on
3. Any recommended resources or steps

Looking forward to contributing and learning from the community.

Thank you!
