 Dev Prashant | After going through it....... I'm really interested in contributing to the Security Tracker Improvements project for GSoC! Building scalable full-stack apps and tweaking UIs is exactly what I love doing, so tackling the tracker's backend workflows and frontend fixes sounds like a perfect fit. If there are any good first issues or specific parts of the codebase you'd recommend checking out first, I'm ready to dive in. | 11:29:38 |

| catsarecute | Hey! I'm a math undergrad and have been using NixOS for around 3 years now. Haven't really gotten into properly configuring stuff on my own until last year though. I primarily work with haskell and a lot of packages seem to be broken and this is a well documented issue. I'm considering this for a GSoC proposal and would love some guidance. | 08:58:43 |

 vivekanandan_ks | Hi All
Using NixOS and Nix for almost 2 years. I don't care even if I'm officially being included in the GSoC or not. But I wanna do contribute and learn from it.
I'm interested in things like creating NixOS or Home manager module, nixpkgs packaging, or anything that needs some help through contributions. | 18:19:33 |
| vivekanandan_ks | Any mentors please utilise my time, energy and passion for this | 18:22:53 |

| James | Hi! I'm James, an undergraduate CS student. I've been running NixOS in my homelab for over a year across 15 systems: VPSs, home servers, laptops, and VMs. I've written NixOS modules and derivations, have an open PR to nixpkgs (#492556) and built a library in pure Nix to help with scaling my homelab. I would be very interested in working on the modular services migration project. Here's my GitHub: https://github.com/James-1701 and I would love to connect with a mentor to talk further. | 03:37:48 |

| Robert Hensing (roberth) | Hi Prashant, nice to meet you! I've asked the security tracker folks to see if they're available for mentoring. Feel free to get in touch with them. Those would be good preparations, especially considering that the idea is very rough/broad. But note that work done before the approval does not count towards the project evaluation. | 21:57:37 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | Hi Amrit, that's much appreciated! I've merged your PR so potential mentors can find it. See https://github.com/NixOS/GSoC/pull/34 | 21:58:50 |
