I’m Oshika Jain, a third year CS undergrad interested in contributing to preCICE. I’m proficient in web development and my primary coding language is C++. I’m comfortable working with Docker, CI workflows, and backend systems. I’m a contributor at Rucio (CERN).
I’ve been exploring the GSoC project ideas and I’m particularly interested in:
• Website modernization (Jekyll → Hugo, Bootstrap upgrade)
• System tests improvements (Docker-based simulations, CI enhancements)
Both align well with my web development experience and backend/tooling background.
I’d appreciate some guidance on which of these might be a better starting point in terms of impact and long-term contribution to preCICE. I’m happy to start with the entry tasks.
thank you for your interest in contributing to preCICE!
If C++ is your primary language (not that of a common skill), you would also be very useful in the two configuration-oriented ideas concerning the core library.
Could you please write more about your experience with the related technologies and a few more words on why the respective idea would fit you specifically? Note also the “entry test” described in each idea, which would make us more confident that you know what you are getting into.
For anything that you might not want to share publicly, feel free to drop me a private message, but let’s keep the conversation as much as possible in this thread.
Linking any current interaction with our repositories in this thread would also help (later, and feel free to edit, to keep the notifications to a minimum).
