Dear developer, I am Piyush an Electrical and Electronics Engineering student from DTU, India. I'm new to open source and the Python foundation as well, but I want to get involved. I tried contacting the org through irc but wasn't able to talk to anyone, so I'm writing this mail.

Sorry you missed us on IRC! It's off-season for gsoc right now, so many mentors are enjoying the time off (and some are preparing for gci!) so responses will be slow.

I have knowledge of java, Python and c. I found the sci kit learn project interesting. I have no prior knowledge of machine learning but I am genuinely interested in machine learning and would love to learn about it by getting involved in the project. So can you please give me a small task in this project or even any other project, to help me get started.

I hope you already found it, but the scikit learn mailing list is here, and they're the folk to ask for more information about scikit-learn tasks and ideas! https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scikit-learn-general Do remember that you're months early for gsoc and most orgs won't be talking seriously about project ideas until January, but you can get involved as a volunteer anytime, so hopefully you can find a good way to get started even now. I've also cc'ed Manoj, the sub-org admin for scikit-learn in 2016, in case you haven't already gotten in touch with him. Terri
