GitHub user Aaditya1611 added a comment to the discussion: About contributing to plc4x and potential gsoc 2026 participation
Hii Chris, Thank you so much for the detailed response. At the moment I don’t have real-world experience in the OT domain, but I’ve mostly been building backend projects using Java Spring Boot for college and personal work. I’ve always been interested in going a bit deeper into low-level or protocol-oriented programming, and PLC protocols seemed like a great area to explore. Since a major part of PLC4X is written in Java, I felt it could be a good fit for me to start contributing meaningfully. Regarding GSoC — for me, it was more of a way to find and enter an open-source community, not the main reason I’m here. Even if PLC4X does not participate in GSoC, I would still like to contribute long-term and learn the ecosystem properly. Thanks for pointing me to the starter point, i will look for the ManualXYZTests and see how can i implement a integration-testing solution using a test-containers. i will also go through the open github issues to see if i can pick some beginner friendly issues. if i get stuck somewhere or need clarification, i will reach out here. Looking forward to contributing and learning from the community! Thank you.
