r/gsoc_2027

Hi everyone,

I am a 2nd-year B.Tech Cybersecurity student currently learning penetration testing and working with Python. I am very interested in diving into open-source contributions later on and recently came across Gsoc

As a cybersecurity-focused student, is it worth preparing for GSoC? If so, I would love some guidance on the following:

Organizations: Which security-focused open-source organizations should I look into or start with

Languages & Tech: What programming languages, frameworks, or tools should I focus on mastering to be competitive?

General Advice: What actionable steps should I follow to successfully prepare and contribute?

Thank you in advance for your help

gonna enter 2nd year, wanna try for gsoc 2027. i know basic python, however to strengthen my skills in it, wanted to know good sources for python- less theory, more applications. is CS50's Introduction to Programming with Python by harvard a good choice?
