Hello everyone. I am Shivangi Singh, pursuing Bachelors of Engineering in Computer Science from BITS Pilani, Pilani campus. I am a 2nd yearite.
I am really sorry for my late introduction. I couldn't do it earlier because of my university exams. I have been contributing to Mailman for sometime now.
I am primarily a backend developer. I have good knowledge of Django and Python.I have been doing backend since my first year and have done a lot of projects involving the same.
Apart from this I have good knowledge of C, C# ,JAVA, HTML, CSS and bootstrap. I have also worked on REST APIs and flask. I have also tried hosting websites on pythonanywhere and Heroku.
I was excited to see the project ideas of MailmanGNU and am eager to contribute for mailman as a GSOC candidate.
I have been working on github since 2 years, though I am new to git lab.
I am quite flexible in adapting to new technical environments and I have also explored in depth my interests in game development, cyber security and microcontroller programming- ArduinoUNO.
I am a learning enthusiast and am looking forward to work with all of you. Please guide me whenever and wherever needed.
Thanking you. Warm regards.
Hello Shivangi! I think you have already gone through the code base and seen a few issues. Well, the most important thing I would say to you right now is, according to the timeline the proposal submission starts today ( 25th March ) and ends on April 9th. Please start working now on any one of the project ideas, or make up a good one on your own and convince someone who can mentor it. Post the mailing list for doubts.
Cheers!
Thankyou Aaryan. Sure. I am drafting a project proposal and will soon share it here for reviews and improvements.
To our GSoC applicants:
You may want to read https://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Blog/SPAM.txt before you submit (or edit before we read it ;-), for a better first impression. It's not a "spec" you should "try" to conform to in your first draft -- many of the activities discussed are precisely those where mentoring is most helpful -- but if after reading it you "naturally" do some things differently or try things you hadn't thought of before, it will be a win for you. It will also give you a preview of many things mentors may ask you to include or improve over the proposal period.
The current version is now three years old, but I think most of the ideas still apply. OTOH, don't trust any links or GSoC deadline dates! and some stuff like the approved MR requirement aren't discussed, and of course references to Python 2 or Mailman 2 are now completely irrelevant to Mailman GSoC.
If you have questions, feel free to ask me personally or on list. If you wonder "do I really have to ...?", please ask on the list so other students can benefit. I may answer first, but Abhilash is authoritative on GSoC requirements set by Mailman.
Also, don't take the introductory paragraph personally, no matter how simple your own self-introduction seems to you. Believe it or not, we really used to see applications like that. They're very rare nowadays, and I will edit that part dramatically -- but not for a few days, and I'd like to get this out to you *now* (I thought it was linked from our GSoC page, but apparently not).

Welcome to GNU Mailman! Like Aryan already mentioned, make sure you have read the Getting Started guide and if you haven't already, choose an idea you want to work on.
You can ask questions related to specific ideas or in general about the design, or even if you need help with your proposal, please feel free.
-- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)
Thankyou @maxking. I have already went through the guide. I will surely ask questions if I face any doubt while drafting proposal or presenting a new idea.
