Respected Apache OpenNLP Team, I hope you're doing well.
Although I wasn't selected for GSoC this year, I remain deeply interested in contributing to OpenNLP — particularly the gRPC-based Python integration project we previously discussed. I found the idea both technically exciting and valuable for the community, and I’d still love to pursue it independently. Currently, I’m in the middle of my 4th semester university exams, which will conclude on *May 17*. I plan to begin contributing more actively around *May 20* and would be truly grateful for your *guidance and mentorship* throughout the process. Please let me know if you’re open to supporting this contribution and if there are any specific expectations or directions I should follow to align well with the project. Looking forward to your response. Warm regards, *Jobin Sabu*
