GSoc 2026 introduction from Abhivansh

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.
