I didn't even realise where these 40 minutes had gone. Your open-source contribution walkthrough was incredibly insightful, and it's inspiring to see how dedicated you are to the community. Keep up the fantastic work, and I can't wait to try out these contributions myself.

[@Aditya_Vyas]

Today I was thinking to search for a Detailed Video teaching the GSoC Process. Thanks Kirat for coincidentally uploading it bro. Loads of Love

[@ashwin2263]

you are making Gsoc competitive like never before 😢😂

[@gandalfthegrey2777]

Yeah, Kunal started the open source awareness now harkirat and there will be more soon. Open source will become the new DSA and GSOC the new competitive coding 😞

[@tanaypatel8412]

Nope getting into DSA and CP is way easy than getting into to Open source, the learning curve is too steep.

[@btwshivxm]

😢

[@Infinite_Mainak]

Why do u think so?

[@mdmehedihasan2908]

[@icemanauz5701]

[@ujjawaltyagi8540]

Bro destroy Zulip next please :) You make everything seems like a cakewalk ! I swear everything seems more easy after watching your tutorials (i can literally go and can create a quantum computer right now that's how high i am after watching video XD)

[@NishaSharma-gx2gv]

Brilliant idea on series....looking forward to learn.

[@bad_gentlemen]

Great Job Harikirat. We want more videos Like this. One can get this type of guidance only in high-tier colleges. In low-tier colleges, no one even talks about GSOC, MLH, etc. and someone who knows such types of events, couldn't get proper guidance. So thanks a lot for such type of videos. We, the students from tier 2,3 colleges really appreciate your work. God bless you.💞💞💝💝🥰🥰

[@this.is.lapc506]

Students from outside the US really appreciate this as well.

[@muskangupta518]

thanku bhaiya..for such a detailed video on open source contribution

[@Syed-kr6hd]

Harkirat Singh bhaiya Honestly I'm following your six months road map please keep uploading every video related to GSoC , Thank you❤

[@krishnaa9358]

It was really amazing sir. It can't get more perfect. I literally needed it. You are the best. Please keep going and keep making videos on GSoC. I want to crack it this year. Also a small suggestion, can we connect somewhere, or can make a community to ask questions related to GSoc if possible !? I hope for your response. Once again Thank you sir for such efforts.

[@amanashiwal3027]

most awaited video.. thankyou so much for the content

[@maheshkhatri3256]

Thanks a lot for doing this, man. GSOC is a god send for people in tier 3 colleges who have no chance of on campus placements and rely solely on off campus to get a good offer. Please see this through.

[@user-bo3bj6lg1r]

i noticed some of the organisations have a challege or sceening test to select contributers, so is this normal do all organistions have this and should i still contribute to the projects before the screening test is done??

[@pbh2991]

Can any one tell how to know which projects of a particular organization are going to come in GSOC list. I know orgs are selected by Gsoc Are the projects also selected by Gsoc ,Or organization itself? And do we have to start contributing to only that project which is going to feature in gsoc as he mentioned in video. If so, then the project is already coaded right, then why to code the same project again during gsoc coding period.

[@rohanpandey9957]
