Hello Community, Following the Official [Announcement of GSoC Mentor Organisations](https://talk.openelis-global.org/t/openelis-global-has-been-accepted-as-a-google-summer-of-code-2024-mentor-organization/297), Here are some important Practices/Tips for Potential Contributors as we wait for the GSoC Contributor’s Applications to open on March 18 See Full [GSoC 2024 Tilmeline](https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline) # Warm up practices for GSoC 2024 1. If you are new to OpenELIS, spend some time to understand OpenELIS and its usages around the world. Visit our website at [https://openelis-global.org/](https://openelis-global.org/) 2. Try to Run [OpenELIS in Docker from Source Code](https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2?tab=readme-ov-file#running-docker-compose-with-locally-compiledbuilt-artifacts-ie-the-war-file-and-react-code-for-developers) to get familiar with the codebase 3. Go through our [introductory Issues](https://github.com/orgs/I-TECH-UW/projects/6) and try to work on them. . **Important Note:** 4. We are currently transitioning from the JSP to a react-based UI. Feel free to create an issue about translating a component from JSP to react ie most of our reports are still on the JSP legacy UI 5. Do some code Reviews for [PRs](https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2/pulls) from other forks. Reviewing code from others is one of the great ways to learn the OpenELIS code base. 6. Be active on the OpenELIS talk forum, and help others to solve their issues regarding developments, tests, and deployments. 7. Go through Our [Projects/Ideas List](https://docs.openelis-global.org/en/latest/gsoc/) to select which one suits your skill set and interest ..Start a Talk Thread about it to brainstorm more ideas around it 8. If you haven’t joined our slack channel, post your email on this [thread](https://talk.openelis-global.org/t/quick-note-on-this-community-page/125/31) to be invited by the admin 9. Ensure to Go through [GSoC program rules](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/rules) to understand the program requirements set by Google 10. Go through [OpenELIS Students Guidelines](https://docs.openelis-global.org/en/latest/gsocstudentguide/) to understand the OpenELIS requirements 11. Do more and more to live with OpenELIS 😄 Enjoy …! ---
