I don’t know where to start from. I have good familiarity with Java, C/C++ and Python. Please help me out. Next years GSoC is still in a very early phase, but lets hope Debian will participate again ;) To get an idea about the ideas that might be interesting for Debian as part of GSoC, you can have a look at the last years projects, they are listed on https://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2018 and in the GSoC archive on https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/ You can also look through the archives of this list, i think there were already some mails with ideas for next years GSoC. I can also recomment the recording of the GSoC session of this years DebConf https://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/debian-meetings/2018/DebConf18/2018-07-31/gsoc-session.webm There is also the help page https://www.debian.org/intro/help listing various resources pointing you to different areas where you can contribute to Debian. If you want to do something wit Java, you can have a look at the Wikipage of the Java packaging team https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/JavaPackaging. There are also teams for packaging python-modules and python apps: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonModulesTeam and https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonAppsPackagingTeam If you want to help fixing bugs, there is a "newcomer" tag, which lists bugs that are ideal for new contributors to get involved in Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=newcomer cheers, Birger > > Cheers > Medha >
