Hello everyone,
Hello mentors, contributors, and the preCICE community!
I’m Suryansh Singh, a third-year CSE student from India. I’m applying for GSoC 2026 with preCICE because I want to spend my summer on a high-quality open-source project.
preCICE aligns perfectly with my interests in systems programming, numerical methods, and reliable scientific software.
About me:
-
Main languages: Python + C/C++
-
Open-source contributions: I have previously contributed to several projects, including Antiwork, Zulip, OWASP, and Vercel
-
Git/GitHub: Good with commits, branches, rebasing, PRs, reviews as per the templates and guidelines
What I’ve started:
-
Set up the local repo and dev environment (including CMake dependencies)
-
Reviewed README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, issue/PR templates
-
Studied contribution workflow: pre-commit hooks, GitHub Actions, linting, clang-format, code style
-
Exploring entry tests / good first issues, focusing on C++ projects
-
Planning to submit a small fix or doc improvement soon
-
Checked out the repo precice.github.io
I’ll be full-time during GSoC with no other commitments and flexible on time zones.
I’m especially interested in the “Error messages with configuration context” project. It seems like a great fit for my C++ skills, improves user experience a lot, and is nicely scoped for meaningful contribution.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance or recommendations you could provide regarding the next steps including any specific things I should prepare or have in place before taking on this project.
Looking forward to your feedback and hopefully working together!
