I'm a long term GSoC mentor and org admin. In my experience most free software projects are always happy to have new contributors. And if you ask, many will gladly hand hold you through the initial stages.
In fact, personally speaking, I would be more willing to do so outside of GSoC than within the confines of a Summer of Code program. Usually because it indicates a slightly greater level of interest, and more importantly we're not under a time pressure to get things done. It's more relaxed this way making the whole process more enjoyable.
Hit me up and I can introduce you to multiple projects within the GNU ecosystem that would love to have a new contributor.
- prashantsengar 6y agoHi, could you please introduce me to some communities. I am not a beginner but not an expert too. I love to contribute to open source communities when I am free. I also lead an open source community in my institute to introduce my juniors to use and contribute to open source .
- darnir 6y agoYou can always contact various GNU projects directly. The list of projects we had available for 2021 are listed here: https://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2021.html https://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2021.html You can also try to get in touch with multiple projects via the gnu-soc mailing list on the gnu domain. If you'd like to contact me directly, you can reach me on my username on the gnu domain.
- sm_ts 6y agoHello! Can you provide me some mean to contact you (or contact me) as well? I'm interested, and have professional resources, in participating to welcoming/established open source projects.
