Preparing for Google Summer of Code (GSOC)?
This is a great place to start.
One thing I strongly believe in is that GSoC preparation isn’t about waiting for the program to open it’s about starting early and building real open-source contributions that actually show up on your profile as that's where the program managers shortlist your from :)
At @_olake , we’ve opened up a set of open-source bounties along with good first issues, specifically designed to help you start contributing in a structured and beginner-friendly way.
Here’s how you can get started:
1️⃣ Open-source bounties & good first issues
We’ve curated issues that are easy to start with while still being meaningful. The bounties range from $20 to $40 and go up to $100, depending on the contribution and impact.
2️⃣ Tech stack
If you’re working with Java or Golang, this can be a great starter repository to gain hands-on experience with production-grade open-source code.
3️⃣ Join our Slack
All conversations, discussions, and reviews happen on our Slack. This is where you’ll interact with maintainers and other contributors and get unblocked quickly.
4️⃣ Pick an issue & start contributing
Go through the open issues, find the ones that match your skill set and interests, and start working on them.
There’s no pressure just steady learning and shipping.
5️⃣ Share your PR on Slack
Once you’ve raised a pull request, drop it on Slack. Our developers will review your work, guide you where needed, and help you improve.
At the end of the day, Olake is all about open source, collaboration, and building in the open.
If GSoC is on your radar, this is a solid way to start building a real and visible contribution history.

HOW TO FIND THE BEST HACKATHONS IN 2026 👀
the last post got 240+ bookmarks, and many of you asked where to find the best hackathons.
i’m sharing the platforms i personally use to find them.
General Hackathons

Web3 Hackathons

find opportunities before they get crowded
some keywords i would prefer:
upcoming AI hackathons 2026
Web3 hackathons with prizes
Solana and Ethereum hackathons
AI agent hackathons
online hackathons for students
try to research previous winners
look at their projects, demos and GitHub repos.
understand what made them stand out, what the judges valued and what you can learn from their execution.
try to pick hackathons strategically
don’t join every event you find.
choose ones that match your skills, give you enough time to build and offer something valuable beyond prize money !
bookmark this and share it with someone who’s looking for their next opportunity.
If you really think that student protests are not something worth it or they don't have the potential.
Give this a watch
we need help here @wayzyycom
We have @theweeknd joining the trend too

मैंने अपने मित्र, भारत के प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी से बात की और उन्हें इज़राइल के स्वतंत्रता दिवस पर वीर भारतीय पायलट के साथ मशाल प्रज्वलित करने के लिए आमंत्रित किया।
मोदी ने निमंत्रण के लिए मुझे धन्यवाद दिया और कहा कि ज़मीन पर और हवा में, भारत और इज़राइल आतंकवाद के ख़िलाफ़ मिलकर लड़ रहे हैं। उन्होंने हमारे बीच के मज़बूत और वर्षों पुराने संबंधों की भी सराहना की। 🇮🇱🇮🇳
Bro please @Apple at this point i am done with developer support, and mind you I paid $100 for this account.
Crazy how companies mass produce goods without doing enough testing.
