Hi Beam Devs, My name is Mansi Singh, and I am a Master’s student in Software Engineering preparing for GSoC 2026 with Apache Beam.
I recently submitted my first contribution fixing spelling issues in Go comments (PR #37617) to get familiar with the Beam codebase and contribution workflow. I am now excited to start working on more meaningful issues, particularly around the Kafka Streams Runner area, as I have hands-on experience building Kafka-based distributed pipelines and microservices during my work at Nokia. I would be grateful if someone could please share an invite link to the ASF Slack workspace or Beam Slack channels so I can follow discussions, ask beginner questions, and collaborate more closely with the community. Thank you for your time and for maintaining Apache Beam. Best regards, Mansi Singh GitHub: https://github.com/MansiSingh17 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/singh-mansi17/
