GSoC 2026 | Looking to Collaborate on Data-Driven Open-Source Projects

[dusty haven]

Hi everyone,
I’m Meetoaz Bhardwaj, first time here and currently exploring opportunities around GSoC 2026.

While we’re waiting for the list of selected organizations, I’m looking to stay engaged by learning and working on small collaborative projects in the open-source space.

My background is in data analytics and research, and I’m especially interested in projects involving open, real-world datasets—for example, data related to news, public or policy sources, social trends, or technology events. I enjoy working with live or frequently updated data, building clear visualizations, and extracting meaningful insights rather than just producing charts.

If anyone here is interested in collaborating, brainstorming project ideas, or already working on something where data analysis could be useful, I’d be glad to connect. Open to suggestions and learning from others in the community.

Hi @ember jewel , thanks for sharing this and for the offer to guide — appreciate it.
I’ll take a proper look at the repository and the overall idea behind it.
It does seem interesting, especially from an open-source and learning perspective.
