Getting Started with OpenVINO for GSoC 2026

[preettrank53]

Hello OpenVINO Community,

I’m a 3rd-year engineering student interested in AI/ML , DL , LLM , langchain , RAG and Computer Vision, and I’m planning to contribute to OpenVINO for GSoC 2026. I’ve started exploring the documentation and repository and would like to begin contributing.

Could you please advise:

Are there any good first issues recommended for new contributors?

Where will GSoC 2026 discussions and project ideas be shared?

I’m also starting this discussion so that other students interested in GSoC 2026 can connect here.

Thank you.
