In this video, Harkirat is interviewing 10 out of 20 people that have been selected for GSOC this year from 100xDevs. We will dive into their journey, what they have done right, what are the best practices while applying to GSOC, things to keep in mind while searching for organisations, what are their college backgrounds, when did they start to code, and many more such questions.

Your videos have been super helpful, Harkirat :). I got into GSoC this year with the Haiku organization, and I’m sure I wouldn’t have known about it without them. The syllabus you share on your cohort's websites has also been a great guide for me. Thanks for all the videos, and please keep posting more like these. I’m still trying to learn as much as I can from them. Hopefully some day I get a chance to talk to you and get some advice :D
Hello, Can you tell me , When did you start coding ?
@@asthatiwari7813 I began learning C++ in September 2023 during my first semester of BTech in IT at NITK. After about a month of study, I started writing small programs on my own. At the same time, I was also learning the MERN stack by following Harkirat's videos (though I still have a long way to go with web development). Prior to this, I had a little Java experience from my 10th grade schooling. I started contributing in late January, but I had been active on their IRC much earlier.
P.S. I just finished my first year :)
@@calistomathias so i am learning mern stack almost completed, what guidance you'll give me to crack gsoc, i have 0 knowledge about it
@@ayushjoshi9531 When I applied to Haiku, I followed rough guidelines. My project wasn't heavily focused on low-level programming, and I believe my selection was due more to the strength of my proposal than my prior contributions. I made 2-3 small contributions, fixing some issues. Haiku's unique operating system API, unlike any other OS, required a lot of extra study. The GSoC lead often asked me to research topics and answer questions, helping me understand how to start. Staying in touch with your GSoC mentors and leads is crucial; the person I discussed my project with became my co-mentor for GSoC.
Most tips from the video are really helpful: start contributing early to understand the codebase, stay in touch with the organization, and be curious from day one. One more tip: get your proposal reviewed multiple times by your mentors before submitting it. My future mentor reviewed mine several times and asked for detailed plans. And remember, don’t get overwhelmed by huge codebases - that happened a lot to me at the start (still does to be honest xD) but its part of the task :)
Btw: I write medium blogs on my GSoC journey so would really love it if you go through them (you can find them on my LinkedIn) and let me know what you think :)
@@calistomathias Thank you for sharing this
I am org admin for the Linux Foundation and project lead of OpenPrinting (and co-founder) of it. Great interview of Rudra Pratap Singh! Thanks a lot, Harkirat! He was really an amazing candidate and was very enthusiastic on the Snap automation work which helped me to deploy Snap automation on the CUPS Snap and the 4 Printer Application (printer driver) Snaps. So I selected him with a high rank and he continued strong on the rockcraft-based OCI containerization of CUPS and the Printer Applications.
Well i know all of this and also understood it
Manifestation Time - next year I'll be there in harkirat's video.
How
So proud that my best friend Satyam Soni is part of this amazing podcast😃.There are many things I taught him during the GSoC prep and he taught me many things about CNCF as well. He is the organizer of CNCG New Delhi and has hosted many events related Cloud Native, he is great person and has shown exponential growth in the past few months. That is why going to networking event is a very good habit because you never know when you are going to find a best friend, a mentor or a potential employer at such events. Proud to say that I am also a part of 100xdevs 0-100 cohort and have been selected twice in GSoC (openSUSE and CNCF's KubeArmor). Looking forward to achieving even greater feats in the future😁
Could you please share his Twitter? It would be really helpful.
Please

Hey brother, I am first year btech student. Can you share your social media handles. I would like to connect with you. I have learned basic html css js ( have done some DSA and leetcode also but that's different). I am selected for gssoc and will start contributing after my endsem exams. Can you guide me for gsoc. It will be a great help.
@@crazybro4383 I shared mine and satyam's twitter handle above
This is one of my two goals i have in my mind. Praying to god that he gives me enough courage to deal with everyday failures. And yes i'm prioritising to contributing more and more and be at 0.1% of my stack field. See you a year later.
3 from our college itself got into GSoC from first year, 1 to LFX.I got selected in LFX.
Fun Fact: ALL ARE ROOMMATES 🎉
Are you also from first year?
@@crazybro4383 yes I am in my first year.
BRO I AM ALSO ENTERING IN FIRST YEAR CAN YOU PLEASE GUIDE ME LITTLE , IT WILL BE REALLY HELPFUL PLEASE HELP ME IF POSSIBLE
Could you please give some tips for getting selected in gsoc
What is gsoc and what are the benefits of getting in it ?
I'm from non IT.
In 2025 I'll definitely make myself to be capable enough to get selected for GSoC 🔥
bhai kab hai 2025 mein ....?
@@ezcoding69 yeah exactly! When does GSOC 25' application period starts ?
@@Hari_Nazrekar_7 Applications typically open in March and close around early april
So proud of you my friend Satyam,
Yes we are from sane organisation and we learn and contributed together to the organisation
How can I connect with you. Pls share your LinkedIn/twitter I'd.
Badi mushkil se move on kara tha, video dekh ke ghoom fir ke fir se tanaav aa gaya...
Had total of 5 prs 2 of them were big
@@chachaji550 in which month you started contributing in gsoc seriously
@@chachaji550 try for next year best of luck
@@chachaji550 dont worry i had like 8 PRs still got rejected (2023), didn't apply in 2024 as I was already employed
Don't worry last year mere sath m esa huya tha but this year i am selected
Hey Harkirat,
Even I was also, got selected in GSoC this year in CERN. I would like to share the experience with everyone as CERN has different process of selection in comparison to all other organisation.
please do
CERN ? Like that LHC one ?
Next year I’ll be there (in harkirat’s video)
I'm in
All the best
All the best bro see you next year
Count me in
Me too bro.
Really helpful…kindly make some videos for people who are switching their careers to full stack and/or DevOps…what should be their optimal approach and how to overcome career gaps etc.
Congratulations Satyam ❤️ Keep growing, keep developing.
Amazing guys.. I too got in being in first year itself of engineering.
We need these types of videos Harkirat bro, keep them coming, thank you ❤❤❤
Keep doing the good work Harkirat 👏
bro im entering my 1st year and ive done mern this was soo much helpful we need more like this ❤
GSoC a new RACE! thanks Kirat!!
Hello Harkirat!!
I have also been selected as a GSoC contributor under the organization BeagleBoard this year. I have also made an intro video presentation about my project and have uploaded it on UA-cam.
I would be very happy if you would comment on it😃
Hii brother, can you share your social media handles. I would like to connect with you.
This video really makes a lot of sense : )
Perminder bhai.. Rock kr diye tum to
Thankyou bhai❤❤
@@permindersingh4844 fannn bhaiii❤❤
@@opketan477 hahaha...😂
20 out of how many students got into GSOc and how many ended up nothing reality check 😅
Next year, I’ll try for GSoC again just so that I can feature on your podcast. This Friday I was busy hence missed this podcast.😩
I'll try my best in 2025
Same time in lost year 2023, i swa your video of how to crack gsoc 24 that day i take printout of gsoc and pasted it on my wall , that is the only thing i have done to crack gsoc and i am watching cracking gsoc 25 in 24 . I hope i achuve it this year i dont get new printout bcz lost year printout still looks good and newer
..
I'm not telling he is not good teacher,he is great teacher but i am bad studenta nd lack of motivation
..
I wish whoever reading this comment and have aim of making into gsoc wish you good luck 👍😊
You gonna crack it this time💪
So much hard work👏👏👏
I have been thinking of starting java as a newbie have a lil base in c and python ( just syntax basically) should i do it or not very confused can u tell should i do it or not
Very helpful 👍
Amazing Podcast! Could you please share the social handles of Satyam ( the BSC guy)? Being a BSc student, felt motivated that one can crack such programs without btech.
Share me also, I am also bsc student aiming for Gsoc 25
@Techiexboom Sure brother, btw which organization are you targeting?
next time meeting kirat with the same context (cracking the gsoc)
Harkirat , is GSoC not open for professionals who do not have a track record in open source development? Is it only available for students? Would love to know
Bhaiya, from where i can get bigger industry projects which are broken down to smaller parts so that i can learn fastly the current and future technologies in depth( I am beginner with no coding experience)🙏🏻 please reply asap🙏🏻🙏🏻
this year I'm joining the same college and same branch as karan in this video. Really gives me a motivation that someone from my college got into gsoc and i can too. Harkirat bhaiya i will be in the video next year🥂🧿
@@awhatnow2795 hii!! are you also in muj. what's your name, would love to meet you in campus when college starts (i wanna find a like minded peer group in college )
Great bro. Hope you get in!
@@KaranPalan hii!! thanks for replying , means a lot
@@divishadivoliya1395 🤝📈
Can you make a similar video including everything about GSOC 2025..kinda like a whole roadmap..
Lets just be honest , Satyam just used his network in order to get in to GSOC ,and then later devloped his skills .
Bro What about the 2nd part of rust? And beginner to advance level projects with it?
When will you gonna upload it
It's now or never, I am targeting from now onwards, whatever happens I will be on this video next year(by clearing gsoc) .
Hello
Can you tell me when your blockchain 0-100 live cohort starts?
I a m waiting to join it
hi harkirat, it would be great if you could get interviews with some people who are not students and still want to take part in GSOC.
guys i need some suggestion , is java a good language for gsoc as the organizations which i saw for java were comparitively less as compared to that for javascript and python so is taking java for spring along with android a good tech stack or node js for the backend would be a better option a compared to spring for gsoc
guys everyone is talking about ' i found out about the cohort and joined it' in the video
... can someone tell me what it means..? its name and how to join it...?
In GsoC, how does the contribution work, lets say if all the open issues are taken, do we create new issues that improves their repository? and finally sum up all the pr's and make a proposal?
Hello, is Live 0-100 Complete taught in English?
Paaji rocks ❤
Thankyou bhai❤
Sir, I want to ask can we crack GSoC with Ai and ML background (with no knowledge of development)?
i just know html, css and basic level c. I am pretty sure my c will get better in 1 month. should i do gsoc or prepare more??

Congratulations permider bhai
Thanks pratik❤
Cool
please guys tell me should i join previour cohort or wait for new one?
Next year I will featured in your video❤❤
Shall i join the previous cohort or wait for the new one ?
Sat Sri Akal Bhaji, I'm Jaskaran Singh 32years old. Im working as a graphic designer from last 10yrs, but now i wanna switch to coading. I checked your website but i'm confuse that what course i should choose. plz help me
next year ill be hereeeee.-
Bhaiya mujhe kuch nahi pata hai, abhi c ki oneshot khattam kar raha hoon apna college se. to ek begnier ke liye start to end sab kuch explain karte hue video banayiyega
Bro, I've noticed that your recent videos haven't been doing well, and I see you've been trying out new things. I'm just a random internet guy sharing my opinion. I don't want you to fade away. Personally, I prefer videos that are 10-21 minutes long, hits the sweet spot. Also, consider trying out different types of content.
Hey harkirat i know this message will annoy you this is regarding web3 bootcamp i have missed cohort as i stood late to know about your channel
I am eagerly waiting to be part of web3 bootcamp
I will do my best irrespective of web3 is promising or not how much i have to wait for thissss
Launch the courses in Hindi as well harkirat bhai please
harkirat ,when your web3 cohort will start ?
is GSOC only for those who are currently in clg ?
Hi bhaiya
Are you going to bring a new cohort soon?
Im looking forward to join it
Could you please confirm
Damn, this is great 👏
1 min pehle video aai 1 hr 30 min ki and tumne dekh bhi liya???
When are you going to start new cohort
hey harkirat can I stil buy the cohort
considering it as most of the classes has been passed
I want to take the 0-100 cohort
cosidering my stage
I have just started with html css and java script with dsa
I think you don't mind if i answer
You can join the contents is available and you will be able to cope up with it
But you just have one disadvantage that is you can't attend live classes as it's over now for 0-100
In online classes you can ask the doubt to harkirat that's a plus point
Other than that you can go for it or wait maybe next cohort will come don't know
Hope you find it helpful :-)
@@rajeevraj7455 thanks , I Iappreciated your reply...
Bhai can u tell pre requisite for cohort
I'm a college graduate. Can one participate in GSOC after college?? Or one has to be enrolled in any college
Bhai Harkirat, now you are working in which country?
I have a question.. Can 4th year students apply for gsoc 2025?
When does GSOC 25' begin ?
Abhi se open source chalu kar du kya?
Please launch a cohort for ML
How to get your course from Pakistan?
I wanted to ask that I am a recent graduate and new to open source. Can I apply for Gsoc next year and if yes, will I be choosen ? Or priority will be given to college students?
no , gsoc is only open for college students
When will applications open for 2025 ??

Helloo harkirat ❤❤
bhiya iss sal vi gsoc cohort hoga kiya .........so that i can also crack it .........and in 2025 i will be in the your video🤭🤭
I'm 19 and college is starting from August. Will BTech AI ML prove to be the best choice? Or I should go towards WebDev. Suggestions Please
AI ML
Noting matters just focus on your skill
@@tajinder715can a guy from civil/ mechanical branch with good coding skills go for it?
good
First comment
I was waiting for this
Sir, could you please make a video explaining the main differences between the MERN stack and Java full stack? Which is better for a long-term career? I have completed my first year and only know the basics of programming languages. How can I start my career in my second year? I'm confused about whether to choose AI/ML, the MERN stack, the Java stack, or cloud computing. This should help many other students who are also confused about which field to choose.
