hi @Aman123lug

Thanks for your interest in GSoC at CNCF.

Best idea right now is checking the GSoC website to get familiar with the program: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/

Also, you might want to read the contributor guide: https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/

Then you can get yourself familiar with the projects listed in the ideas page: https://github.com/cncf/mentoring/blob/main/summerofcode/2023.md

Also, we have a #mentoring channel in CNCF Slack: https://github.com/cncf/mentoring#communication if you would like assistance on a more specific subject.

Timeline for GSoC program is available on the GSoC website.

@aliok thank you so much i read all thing from link that given but still have doubts like : cncf gsoc is annouced? , should i start contributing in cncf repository "good first issue"

[aliok]

should i start contributing in cncf repository "good first issue"

Yes, I would encourage you to do that always.

However, please note that there's no good-first-issue in CNCF/mentoring repository. You should check out the projects at the GSoC project ideas here and you can start contributing to those projects listed there.

cncf gsoc is annouced?

It will be announced by Google in 2 days, if CNCF is an accepted organization or not: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline#february_22_-_1800_utc
