Hi Michael, I want to give some feedback before GSoC’25 as GSoC’24 participant. I speak for myself but I know some of other colleagues are sharing similar thoughts with me.
First of all community has incredible talented people and I am not even single percent of those people. However I tried my best during the qualification stage and after that. My main problem was finding answer's inside a huge codebase. I might come stupid ideas, bad implementations but to be honest when I asked about something in IRC I couldn’t get any answers, even in my volumedetect(qual patch) I couldn’t get a proper review from community. Guessing contributors are mostly the passionate driven. I find that passion beginning but lost day by day. I tried to share similar thought during VDD, they told me this is normal and happening. Which shouldn’t be in my opinion. If project wants to newcomers or continuous contributors people should be more welcoming. I understand you can’t force people to review some patches but still there are some parts needed to be change, I can’t say specifically which parts but they should be changed. In addition to that I am very thankful to my 2 mentors (Thilo, Kyle) for helping me every step. I do not want to understood like my mentors didn’t help me.
