It sounds like you have a lot of relevant experience you can bring to bear on a proposal. I suggest leveraging your experience in your proposal in some useful manner. > With all this experience I want to participate in your projects.

I suggest going through some of the MGED tutorials, which you can find on the website wiki under Docs, to get some basic familiarity. This can be done in just a couple hours. From there, I would suggest downloading and compiling BRL-CAD from source, and then reading a LOT. Read our GSoC project ideas page, read this ideas page (https://brlcad.org/~sean/ideas.html <https://brlcad.org/~sean/ideas.html>), read the TODO file in BRL-CAD’s source, and do your best to understand existing needs. This again can be done in an hour or two. From there, I’d suggest making list of just 2-3 items that you feel fairly confident about and then discussing them with us here or on Zulip chat. Good luck! Cheers, Sean
