Respected Sir/Ma'am,

I am Dulton Ghosh, a final year student of IIT Guwahati. I want to contribute in MariaDB in upcoming Google Summer of Code. Please give me some instuctions to do so.

First, MariaDB is not part of the upcoming Google Summer of Code yet. Until February 27 (https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline) we cannot be sure that MariaDB will be accepted as a mentoring organization. But if you want to prepare in advance, please check https://mariadb.org/get-involved/ and links in there, for example https://mariadb.org/get-involved/getting-started-for-developers/ You can look at open issues at jira.mariadb.org (search for Minor or Trivial issues, they're usually simpler). You can find project ideas from previous GSoC's at https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/google-summer-of-code/ Regards, Sergei Chief Architect MariaDB and security@mariadb.org
