I apologise for not responding to your email more quickly. The formal proposal submission process starts at the end of next week (16/03) and, until then, the main channel of communication is supposed to be through this GitHub repo. That said, starting at some point next week, we will start assigning mentors to mentees, so you should hear from us then. Your candidacy is acknowledged. |

ok thanks for clarifying @jonbrenas and should i start making proposal i am asking this because on docs it is written that we have to make and send skeleton of project on email so till now i only made the skeleton of project not proposal so should i start making proposal or like wait for 16 march to make with the guidance of mentors? |

Full proposals are not expected at this stage. You are welcome to start thinking about it more deeply but a skeleton of your plan is enough. You just need to be able to show to the mentors that you understand the problem, that you have started to think about potential solutions and that you are able to plan ahead. |

Of course, your own ideas are welcome. I would even recommend that you make your own proposals as it shows creativity and understanding of the context and problem. |

Heyy @jonbrenas! My name is Bianca Sawant, a B.Tech CSE student. I was really interested in Project #2 (machine-learning taxon classifier for genomic classification in malaria mosquitoes). I wanted to ask, what will make you recognise our candidacy and assign us mentors? Is it getting a PR merged in this reporsitory, or making an introduction? |

Hi @star-lord1234, the process to apply is highlighted in the contributor's guidance document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/178LEZEsC0xbknHDId83k5XzIDRtnyVw243Ta0fhlvPM/edit?usp=sharing. Have you followed the steps described there? You will need to work on a PR but it doesn't need to be merged. |

Hi @jonbrenas, just following up regarding the proposal I shared over email a few days ago for the project “Building a Machine-Learning Taxon Classifier for Genomic Classification in Malaria Mosquitoes.” I understand this is a busy period with the GSoC window, but I’d really appreciate any quick feedback on whether the overall direction aligns well with the project goals so I can refine it accordingly. Happy to iterate quickly based on your suggestions. Thanks! |

Hi @Sashreekkumar, I don't have access to the email address myself and it may take a day or so for anyone to update our spreadsheet. Edit: I see your name now. Did you link a PR? |

Hii @jonbrenas I haven't linked a PR, just wanted a feedback on my proposal |

Well, we don't have the resources to send feedback to everyone who went through the normal process. We will review every proposal during the reviewing period but anything more is going to be difficult. |

Hi @jonbrenas, I hope you’re doing well. I just wanted to follow up regarding my PR #1239, which I had submitted a little while ago as part of my proposal. I understand things can get quite busy, but I would really appreciate any feedback whenever you get the chance. Regards, |

Hi @jonbrenas , I am interested in applying for GSoC 2026 with MalariaGEN. What kind of proposal usually stands out for selection especially in terms of depth, structure, and prior contributions? Any tips or resources would be really helpful. Thanks |

Hi @suhr25, I don't really have tips or resources. We are currently mentoring more than 30 different candidates with a wide-variety of proposals. I think creating a proposal that you are comfortable with is the best we can ask for. |

Yes, of course! Anything that makes your proposal stand out gives you an edge. Original ideas, particularly so. |

hii @jonbrenas i have a quick question that i am submitting proposal on portal and i am made proposal on existing idea + my own idea as you know so should i select project medium or large on portal please clarify this asap |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

|
Hi @mandeepsingh2007, I would advise you to submit as a medium project. GSoC said in some of their communications that they are likely to disregard submissions that have a different size from the proposed project. |
