Hi Sanjeev, Thanks for reaching out.
In the meantime, here’s how you can get started and plug into the right channels: 1. Join the GSoC Matrix Room We’re moving Apache Fineract GSoC 2026 discussions to Matrix. You can join here: https://matrix.to/#/#apache-fineract-gsoc:matrix.org Please introduce yourself there and mention your interest. 2. Fill Out the Contributor Interest Form (Important) To help us structure mentorship properly and understand everyone’s level of interest and commitment, please complete this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSexeaNi-2RZL3wUsQM8KzhjtDl0hiEj00_gcTiL49g3wEI42A/viewform?usp=publish-editor 3. Read the Official GSoC Documentation Page This will give you context on how Fineract structures its GSoC program: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/GSOC+Program+at+Fineract 4. Review the GSoC 2026 Tickets Here are the tickets currently labeled for GSoC 2026: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-2454?jql=project%20%3D%20%22Apache%20Fineract%22%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20gsoc2026%20ORDER%20BY%20createdDate%20 You can comment on the relevant ticket expressing your interest and briefly summarizing your proposed approach. Once mentors are formally announced, they’ll engage more directly on the tickets and Matrix. For now, the best thing you can do is: Join Matrix Introduce yourself Review the ticket deeply Start asking clarifying questions publicly Setup Fineract on your local development environment Looking forward to your introduction on Matrix.
