Hello, I am Monal, a third year Btech student. I am interested in contributing to ScanCode.io, with the goal of preparing for GSoC 2026. I have started setting up the environment and am currently going through the documentation to understand how the pipelines and components work. I would love guidance on good beginner issues and areas where contributions are currently needed. I look forward to contributing and learning more. |

Subject: Introduction: Systems student (CodeSeer project) interested in Parsing & ScanCode Hi everyone, My name is Raj Shekhar, and I’m a student at Delhi Technological University. I’m writing to introduce myself for GSoC 2026. I am interested in ScanCode Toolkit because it aligns closely with my current work. I am developing an open-source code intelligence engine called CodeSeer (focused on parsing and understanding software composition), so I have been diving deep into static analysis and AST parsing recently. I’ve successfully set up ScanCode Toolkit locally and ran it against my own project to compare its license detection with my internal logic. The setup process on Windows was a bit tricky with path lengths (encountered the package_patterns_index cache corruption issue but resolved it), but I was impressed by the scan speed once configured. I’m looking through the issue tracker now for good-first-issues related to parsers or rule improvements. Looking forward to contributing! |

Hey everyone! I'm Anmol Vats, a security researcher and developer from US. GitHub: @NucleiAv. My background is in vulnerability research and application security. I've done responsible disclosures across Trail of Bits, Pensar, OpenClaw, Caddy (CVE requested via GHSA, CVSS 8.1), the State of Maryland, and a few others. On the technical side I work mostly in Python, Bash, C and Django, with experience in SAST, threat intelligence, and GRC. I hold Security+, CNSP, ISO27001, IBM CTI, and MITRE ATT&CK Defender certifications among others. I came across AboutCode because it overlaps heavily with projects and work I've been doing around software composition analysis and vulnerability tracking. The problem space genuinely interests me and I'd love to contribute meaningfully for GSoC 2026. I've already submitted two small fixes to the repo (#285, #286) and am now exploring the codebase deeper. Looking forward to getting feedback. |

Hello! My name is Hiya Sanghvi and I am currently a third-year undergraduate student pursuing a degree in Electronics & Communication. I am passionate about open source development, backend systems, and data-driven problem solving. Over the past few years I have worked on several projects involving machine learning, signal processing, and software development, which helped me build a strong foundation in Python and system design. I am particularly interested in the PURLdb PopularCode project because it combines data analysis, dependency graphs, and real-world open source ecosystem insights. The idea of identifying widely used and influential packages through graph-based ranking and activity metrics is very exciting to me, and I would love to contribute to building a system that helps prioritize important open source components. I am currently exploring the PURLdb repository and understanding its architecture, and I look forward to discussing potential approaches and contributing to the project with the guidance of the mentors. |
