Dear Muhammet, Thank you for your interest in SageMath and potential GSoC 2026. However, the applications for mentor organizations have not yet opened, much less has SageMath been accepted for 2026. So we cannot give any information regarding GSoC 2026 at this time.
For contributions, you can take a look at our issues tracker on our github page, which can filter by specific topics via the tags.
