[GSoC 2026] Introduction & Interest in MNE-Python - Sidharth N Krishna
by Sidharth N Krishna Dec. 27, 2025

Dec. 27, 2025

Hi everyone, My name is Sidharth N Krishna, and I am a recent Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) graduate. I am writing to express my strong interest in contributing to MNE-Python under the Python Software Foundation for GSoC 2026. With my background in ECE and a strong focus on AI/ML, I am particularly interested in the intersection of machine learning and neurophysiological data. I have worked on two research publications in the AI/ML domain(one published and one currently in press). While my previous research was focused on general AI/ML applications, I am eager to apply my experience in model architecture and data analysis to the decoding and machine learning modules within MNE-Python. I have started exploring the MNE-Python GitHub repository to understand the codebase and contribution workflow. My immediate goal is to contribute to documentation improvements and "Good First Issues" to familiarize myself with the project's standards, before moving toward more complex tasks in the machine learning space. My Profiles: GitHub: https://github.com/Sidharth-NK LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sidharth-krishna25/ I would appreciate any suggestions on specific modules or beginner-friendly issues I could most effectively contribute. Thank you for your time and for this opportunity. Best regards, Sidharth N Krishna

I am based in *Pune, India*, and I am very interested in applying for *Google Summer of Code 2026* as a *Python contributor* I have been exploring your organization and repositories and went through the contribution guidelines and documentation. I found the work particularly interesting, especially how Python is used to build scalable and maintainable solutions. My current learning & skills:- 1. Python programming (fundamentals, OOP, scripting). 2. Git & GitHub (collaboration workflow). 3. SQL ( querying and database concepts). 4. Web technologies (HTML, CSS, basic JavaScript). 5. Understanding of SDLC and software development best practices. *Currently learning* 1.*Python Full-Stack Development* *(ongoing training at QSpiders).* *2. **Python + AI.* Although my courses are still in progress, I am actively practicing by reading open-source code, solving problems, and preparing to contribute through beginner-friendly issues and documentation improvements. I am looking for:-- Guidance on *beginner-friendly issues* suitable for new contributor.- Suggestions on how I can best prepare for *Python-based GSoC projects.*- Any recommended repositories or tasks where I can start contributing early. I am highly motivated to learn, open to feedback, and committed to following open-source best practices. My goal is to contribute consistently and grow as a reliable member of the community before submitting my GSoC proposal. Thank you very much for your time and guidance. I would be grateful for any direction you can provide. Kind regards, *Muzammil Kaladgi* Pune, India GitHub: https://github.com/Muzammil-me

Hi everyone, My name is Srivarsha, and I’m a 3rd-year CSE-AIML student at CBIT, Hyderabad (India). I’m very interested in contributing to MNE-Python under the Python Software Foundation for GSoC 2026. I’ve recently begun exploring the MNE-Python GitHub repository to understand the codebase and contribution workflow. At the moment, I’m looking to start with easy documentation improvements or simple bug fixes, but I’m also very interested in gradually contributing to the machine learning and decoding modules as I get more familiar with the project. Here are my profiles: GitHub: https://github.com/varshaa-1616 LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/srivarsha-chivukula-ab8000293 I would appreciate any suggestions on where beginners typically start contributing or if there are specific beginner-friendly issues you recommend I look into. Thank you for your time, and I’m excited to learn and contribute to the project. Best regards, Srivarsha Chivukula
