Interested in contributing for GSoC 2026!

[NeelBarke]

Hello, I am Neel, currently an undergrad student interested in AI. I went through your project and it seemed exciting to me and I hope your team gets selected as an org for 2026 edition of GSoC. The next ai evolution is definitely going to happen at the edge for inferencing rather than large datacenters which is why I find this project particularly interesting. I just wanted to know to which repo shall I contribute (cause there are multiple sub-projects whithin this project) along with any guidelines for people who have just started contributing to it. Thanks for your consideration!

Hi! Glad to hear you are interested in contributing. Please, take a look into the list of projects for this year, each of them will point you to different repos under the Open Edge Platform. You can mention here the mentors listed there, so they can answer your questions.

[NeelBarke]

Hello, will go through the entire list. A lot of those projects look interesting at first glance. Will dig deeper. Thanks for the reply!

Hi @biapalmeiro , will OpenEdge be participating in gsoc through it's sister openVINO org, now that the list of orgs has been announced?

[biapalmeiro]

@NeelBarke that's our expectation. Let's give @adrianboguszewski (OpenVino admin) a couple of days to give us an update on that.

Hi @arodage, just wanted to say that I emailed you yesterday regarding the project idea. I think maybe the email hasn't reached your inbox because of filtering or something. Please let me know how may I communicate.

[arodage]

Hi Neel, I have received your email over the weekend. I will get back to you soon.
