Hello everyone,

I am a first year undergraduate in computer science. I have had an interest in astronomy since my childhood and I would like to continue my passion by contributing to OpenAstronomy through GSOC 2024. I am looking forward to work with the team and also learn something in the process.  
I have had some experience in image processing and am continuing to develop my skills in python. Could someone guide me as to how I can start contributing to the project?

Hello @WinterSun !

Glad to hear you are interested in and want to contribute to OpenAstronomy.

OpenAstronomy is a collection of projects each with their own focus: [Members](https://openastronomy.org/members/)

I suggest you start by browsing this list and seeing what catches your eye. From there, each project has a collection of libraries, with guides and methods to get in touch with the people running that project. They then can help you get involved directly!

Hopefully that helps!
