<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Anirban,</div><div><br></div><div>for start, let's drop the "Sir", "Madam" or whatever :). I've also added the GCompris list as we prefer open discussion instead of one-to-one when there are no critical/confidential information and this information could be useful to other potential contributors.<br></div><div><br></div><div>For now, we are still in the process to know if we will participate or not to GSoC. <br></div><div><br></div><div>On your side, it's great to show interest this early. Before talking about GSoC, the first step would be to compile GCompris on your computer, play a bit, see if it interests you.</div><div>Then, a second step would be to start contribute with small tasks (<a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/gcompris_improvements/">https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/gcompris_improvements/</a>) or an easy activity to implement (<a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/gcompris_activities/">https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/gcompris_activities/</a>) to see if it also interests you in the developing side and if the community is one you'd like to be a part of.</div><div></div><div><br></div><div>Regarding GSoC then, if we participate, at some point you will need to create a proposal
(in a few months from memory)
with what you plan to do, how you plan to test, a timeline and discuss it with us to know how it would be better integrated in GCompris. A list of previous contributions is always appreciated if we have a lot of candidates as it helps mentors to choose the person they think fits the best.<br></div><div><br></div><div>We have a Matrix room at <a href="https://webchat.kde.org/#/room/#gcompris:kde.org">https://webchat.kde.org/#/room/#gcompris:kde.org</a> to discuss if needed.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Johnny<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Le mar. 24 janv. 2023 à 08:37, <<a href="mailto:anirban-1009@riseup.net">anirban-1009@riseup.net</a>> a écrit :<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Sir,<br>
