Hi Aakash, Thanks for getting in touch! I am including in the CC our mailing list (which you always should to keep everyone in the loop, and in case someone has a similar question).
It is great that you have been working on different ML projects. To start with your contribution to Shogun, the very first step is to send at least one patch. This can be anything, related to your project of interest or on a completely different topic (like fixing a known issue, adding a new example showcasing something that appeals you). If you need inspiration for an initial task, you can check out our list of entrance issues <https://github.com/shogun-toolbox/shogun/labels/good%20first%20issue> that you can find on github. Note that contributing during the GSoC application period is a requirement. We want you to get familiar with general ways of working in open source and with Shogun. For the Disease Data project itself, I suggest you to read well the project description, get familiar with the concepts described, explore from the links, and of course feel free to ask any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you.
