[question] GSoC Proposal 2026

[Saalim Quadri]

Hi everyone, I am Saalim Quadri an undergrad student at Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, pursuing Electronics and Communications.
I wish to participate in the GSoC 2026 as a part of the EROFS filesystem.

I have been contributing to the Linux Kernel and have more than 10 accepted patches.
I have also worked with Android Linux Ecosystem in the past years, and have worked on several subsystems, backports and fixes.

I started looking into https://erofs.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/roadmap.html, and I am interested in expanding erofs-utils to stabilize liberofs APIs.

In that sense, I would like to know if anyone in the community could provide with some suggestions for my proposal, and a positive impact.
Any suggestion or hint is appreciated!

Sincerely,
Saalim Quadri
