Hello Airflow dev members, Hello Jarek Potiuk, Jason Liu, Kevin Yang, and Vaquar Khan,
I hope you are doing well. I am planning to apply for GSoC 2026 under Apache Airflow, and I wanted to reach out as I begin preparing my proposal. Over the past few weeks, I have worked on a few PRs in Airflow and explored documentation related to core components, providers, and the development workflow. This has helped me understand the project better along with the expectations for GSoC this year. I am technically comfortable with Python, C++, C, Rust, Go, JavaScript, React, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD workflows. In parallel, I have been learning additional tools and frameworks to deepen my understanding of the Airflow ecosystem. I am also actively following issues, discussions, and ongoing work to develop broader context. As I refine my proposal ideas, I would appreciate any guidance on areas where contributions are currently most needed or topics that align well with the project’s priorities this year. Additionally, if there is anything else I should be doing beyond my current engagement—specific modules to explore, tasks to pick up, or discussions to follow—I would be glad to take it up. My intention is to prepare a strong, realistic proposal aligned with Airflow’s needs. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your guidance. Regards, Ajay
