Hi @chandrasingh01 Welcome! I’ve noticed you opened a separate discussion thread with the same regard: Regarding the contribution In GSOC . Even though @kit or other organizers may have a more specific answer, I’m happy to leave some comments to your questions here.
“How to contribute and give idea’s on your project’s before proposal submission?”
This forum thread is the best place to start. Consider carefully going through the “Application Preparation Checklist” on the body message on the top of this thread, as it contains information about different ways to start contributing. Consider the “Individual feedback” information too, this is where you can bringing up some very specific ideas and get feedback on them.
Processing Foundation does not require merged Pull Requests for GSoC applicants and Contributions are not limited to code. Contributions include being helpful in the community in different ways, there are also other Processing/p5.js online community spaces where you can offer your ideas and skills. If you haven’t already, you are welcome to join the Discord community.
“I would like to start contributing and submit a PR before proposal submission. Could you please guide me on how to get started and talk to mentors?”
You can start researching on the areas that interest you and resonate with your technical skills before submitting a proposal. There is more detailed replies under this thread, please consider going through them.
If you want to contribute you can also look for issues on various repositories (processing/p5.js, processing/p5.js-website, processing/p5.sound.js, processing/p5.js-compatibility, processing/p5.js-web-editor) watching out for issues labeled as Help Needed or Good First Issue. You can also look for open PRs and help review them, make sure it follows the contributor guidelines and the AI usage policy. If you have questions or encounter bugs while exploring, feel free to communicate them in the Discord channels or open a Discourse thread here, the community is very friendly and will be glad to help you!
There will be a GSoC meetup call on Monday, I’d try to attend the meeting and bring up further questions. Welcome to community!
