No need for special introductions, Sebastian; this list is the perfect venue for discussing any GSoC issues.
Josh, as it is written on the wiki page, two possible mentors for the "Conformance Checker" are Dick and Kate (who are obviously also on this list). Their technical experience is more oriented towards Python, that's why we put it down as the preferred technology for this project. If a candidate prefers another implementation language, we can see whether we can find mentors to accommodate them. This project is about a brand-new piece of software, so there is nothing to point to (yet) nor can we present an existing list of small issues for you to work on. The idea is to use the already existing libraries for reading and processing SPDX Documents (that exist for different programming languages) and perform analysis of Documents related to NTIA's minimum elements guidance. For example, are all mandatory fields present?

We always appreciate help, and your portfolio looks especially impressive :) Alexios Zavras has been leading the GSOC process for SPDX, so I can get you in touch with him if you have any specific questions - he'll be able to answer them much better than I can! The SBOM Conformance Checker is a great project to take on. I see you have experience in Java - would you like to develop this in the SPDX Java libraries? Gary O'Neall currently maintains these and I'm sure he'd be able to help if you get stuck and maybe even be your mentor for GSOC. In any case, please feel free to send us a draft of your proposal whenever you like! Let us know if you have any questions.
