Hi @peterdudfield , I contributed to OCF in 2025 and also submitted a proposal. I’m very interested in GSoC 2026 with OCF and would love to continue contributing and exploring potential project ideas. Looking forward to collaborating with the community again and learning more from the upcoming discussions.

Hey @peterdudfield
I looked at OCF projects in the past and that got me really excited, looking forward to contribute and work with OCF in summer 2026

[pan103769]

Hi, I’m Amartya. I’m starting to explore OCF with the goal of contributing consistently and preparing for GSoC 2026 — OCF already feels multifaceted in terms of impact and scope.
Currently getting familiar with the codebase and issues.
Looking forward to learning and contributing here!

Hi @peterdudfield and the OCF team! 👋

I'm Siddhant Jain, a student from IIT Roorkee,India interested in contributing to OCF for GSoC 2026.

My background:

• Python (NumPy, PyTorch) and experience with ML pipelines
• Contributed to Kubeflow (security hardening PRs)
• Currently working on OpenVINO (PyTorch frontend contributions)
• Comfortable with open source workflows (Git, PRs, code review)

I'm particularly interested in your solar/wind forecasting ML models. I've started exploring the open-source-quartz-solar-forecast repo and will be looking for a good first issue to start contributing.

Looking forward to being part of this community!

Hi, @peterdudfield , I'm looking forward to contribute to OCF.

[MelchiorVos]

Hi @peterdudfield,
I'm an MSc Computational Science student at the University of Amsterdam and a former software engineer at ASML. I’m starting to get involved in open source, and OCF looks like a great project to contribute to. I’m planning to apply for one of the GSoC 2026 projects and would love to get involved.

Kind regards,
Melchior Vos

Hi, I’m Xiru interested in contributing to OFC and preparing for GSoC 2026.
I come from a computer science and digital humanities background, with a focus on data-driven work and social impact, and I’ve started exploring the repositories.
Looking forward to learning and contributing!

[ArkVex]

Hi @peterdudfield I am also contributing to ocf for quite a while and I am also interested in submitting my proposal for gsoc in 2026...will be looking forward to the project ideas.
Thankyou

Hi @peterdudfield ,

I’m Naman Jain, a Google Summer of Code 2025 Mentee at Jisti. I’ve also been selected for the LFX Mentorship Fall term under CNCF’s KubeStellar project, where I worked on cloud-native and Kubernetes ecosystem initiatives. In addition, I’ve served as an LFX mentor during the Spring term, helping guide contributors in open source development.

My work revolves around open source systems, developer platforms, and building tools that make contribution workflows smoother and more scalable.

I’m looking forward to being involved again both as a contributor and someone who actively supports the community. Excited to collaborate, learn, and ship meaningful work

Hi @peterdudfield ,
I'm a 2nd year CS student from Delhi. Living here, air pollution and climate impact aren't just topics I read about - they're something I deal with daily, which is what drew me to Open Climate Fix's work.
I'm currently participating in a Climate Data Hackathon focused on Delhi's air pollution track, where we're working on real-world air pollution challenges using AI and data. So this space feels very relevant and personal to me right now.
I've been exploring the graph_weather repository and have been looking at some of the open issues - particularly around input validation and error handling. I've cloned the repo locally and am starting to understand the structure.
Looking forward to contributing and learning from this community!

[CyberKing2850]

Hi @peterdudfield , I’m Manoj, an undergraduate student focused on ML and PyTorch-based forecasting systems.
I’m interested in contributing to Open Climate Fix for GSoC 2026.
I’ve started exploring the codebase and NWP-driven pipelines.
Could you suggest good first issues or prerequisites to focus on?
Thanks!

[Mayan10]

Hi @peterdudfield

I'm Mayan, a developer with PyTorch/ML experience who's been working on research ML projects in the field of energy (esp. Solar). I'm really interested in OCF's work on solar and wind forecasting and would love to apply for GSoC 2026.

I've been exploring graph_weather and plan to start with issue #157 (NeuralDMD implementation). Looking forward to getting more involved!

[CodeVishal-17]

Hi @peterdudfield 👋
I’m definitely interested in applying for GSoC 2026 with OCF.
I’ve started contributing and understanding the nowcasting pipeline and geospatial logic, and I’m excited to deepen my involvement over the coming months.
Thanks for continuing to support students through GSoC!

[princekumarlahon]

Hi @peterdudfield
I’m a CSE student and I recently came across Open Climate Fix while looking into GSoC 2026. I’m completely new to open-source contributions, but I work with Python, machine learning, and data analysis. I’ve also built a small AQI prediction project, which is what got me interested in climate and forecasting work like yours. If you have any suggestions on beginner-friendly issues or repos I could start with, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks!

[IvanPisquiy06]

Hi @peterdudfield and the @openclimatefix team! I’m Ivan, a Systems and science Engineer student from Guatemala. I’m currently a QA Engineer in the Banking sector with previous experience as a Frontend Developer. I’m also a musician, which fuels my passion for collaborative, community projects.

I’m deeply motivated by OCF’s mission. I believe we have a responsibility to build the digital infrastructure needed for a sustainable future. I am specifically interested in the "Global Solar Forecast" project for GSoC 2026.

I'll start checking the projects to better understand the product.

Looking forward to contributing!

Unfortunately, OCF was not accepted into GSoC this year. We’re very disappointed, but we remain hopeful about applying again next year.

Thank you very much to everyone who expressed interest here. We really appreciate your enthusiasm and hope you’ll still consider contributing to our open-source community.

No worries @peterdudfield I'll continue to contribute regardless. I like the objective of ocf .Getting selected for gsoc or not is a different thing 😃

Hi @peterdudfield
Thank you for the update. Sorry to hear that OCF wasn’t selected this year, but I really appreciate the effort from the team. I’ll definitely continue contributing and stay involved with the community. Looking forward to supporting OCF and hopefully seeing it selected next year.

[Sidharth1743]

I need to say one thing @peterdudfield. Your(ocf) aimbition and motive is different than others. Tackling climate change is not aan eassy way and many won't hold in their hand. Your works inspire me to take part in open source contribuition. my first issue and pr is started in here. So continue your work and I will be with you. This makes me push harder to contribute more in OCF. I am based in India and i will give my support as much as possible. Feel free to ask any help. Come on man we tackle climate change!!

[AswaniSahoo]

Hi @peterdudfield, sorry to hear about this, but honestly OCF's mission matters way more than any program. This is where my open-source journey began ,I've learned so much contributing to graph_weather and being part of discussions on open-data-pvnet with you and the community. I'll keep showing up and contributing wherever I can. Grateful for how welcoming everyone has been here .

[anxkhn]

Power to you @peterdudfield !
