Hello pgRouting Community,
I am Abhivansh Saini, a college student passionate about open-source technologies and real-world problem-solving. With growing experience in C++ and a strong desire to deepen my understanding of programming, I am eager to begin contributing to pgRouting. As I am preparing for the GSoC 2026, I am excited to learn from the community and contribute wherever I can. I would be grateful for any suggestions on how to get started.
Thank You!
Best Regards,
Abhivansh
Welcome Abhivansh.
Since you are interested in GSOC, you should start by reviewing this page - Google Summer of Code · pgRouting/pgrouting Wiki · GitHub
Have you used pgrouting in your work or studies.
If not or even if you have I would suggest going thru the workshops so you have a feel of what it can do. pgRouting Workshop — Workshop - FOSS4G Auckland - Routing with pgRouting ( source is here - GitHub - pgRouting/workshop: Source, data and docs for the pgRouting workshop )
Making changes to the workshops or documentation https://docs.pgrouting.org/ is always a great first contribution.
Then reviewing outstanding tickets to see if you can tackle any GitHub · Where software is built would be a good but much bigger challenge.
Hello pgRouting Community,
I hope you are all doing well.
I am glad to share that I have completed all the prerequisite tasks for the GSoC application:
I will now start drafting my proposal, adhering to the GSoC recommendations and guidelines stated in the pgRouting documentation. Additionally, I plan to explore the pgRouting source code to trace the functions I studied during the workshop and gain a deeper understanding of the code structure.
In the coming days, I also aim to contribute small improvements, such as documentation updates and minor bug fixes, to get more comfortable with the development workflow.
Any feedback or suggestions from the community would be highly appreciated, as they will help me refine my proposal further.
Thank you for your time.
Best Regards,
Abhivansh Saini
