[rounakdey6]

I applied for both CA and contributor, I have got mail regarding CA but didn't get any mail regarding contributor, what can I do?

[rounakdey6]

Yes , that was my mistake

[rounakdey6]

@MastanSayyad Thank you

[rounakdey6]

@MastanSayyad As I thought I had applied for CA , that's why I didn't apply for the second time, Is there anything that I can do for CA ?

[AKSHITHA-CHILUKA]

Sorry the registrations for CA is closed

[MastanSayyad]

@rounakdey6 It’s okay, it happens. Since the CA registrations are closed and all CAs have been selected, the selection emails have already been sent out. You won’t be able to join as a CA, but you can still contribute as a contributor. Selection emails for contributors will be shared soon.

[PMX078]

sir , i wanna ask you when selection mail will come out

[aslams2020]

Selection emails will be rolled out from 20th Sep Onwards (Tentatively)

[shravankumar8]

Dear Organizers,

I kindly request that you focus on selecting meaningful projects this time. Last time, many were clones and did not provide real value, making contributions feel unproductive. Please consider implementing PMF and idea validation steps to ensure project suitability. It would be more impactful to have many people working on a few strong projects rather than spreading efforts too thin.

Thank you for considering my feedback.

Best regards,

[shreyash3087]

@shravankumar8 Thanks for your feedback, we will definitely consider it

[Arjun-Bhandari]

Dear Organizers,

I Registered and a pop up came up showing that i have successfully registered but when i try to explore projects it is asking me to registered me again.

Thank you ,
Best Regards.

[shreyash3087]

@Arjun-Bhandari Don't worry if your registration has been successful you dont need to register again

[MastanSayyad]

Hi @Arjun-Bhandari,

if you received a notification saying "successfully registered," then you are registered. As for the request to register again to explore projects, we don't have such system in place that requires registration just for viewing the projects, also as said the coding period will be from Oct 1st to Oct 30th and new projects have not been shortlisted yet.

[Nayanpatel48]

When did the mail regarding selection as contributor will come? please reply here https://www.linkedin.com/in/patel-nayan-047317248/

[aslams2020]

Selection mails will be rolled out from 20th Sep Onwards (Tentatively)

• Referral code should be empty as it is optional
• If the issue arises then apply through desktop

What is the role of campus ambassador?

[Meetjain1]

The role of a Campus Ambassador in GSSoC (Girlscript Summer of Code) involves promoting the program within their college or university, encouraging students to participate

As a Campus Ambassador, you will have the following responsibilities:

• Spread Awareness: Promote GSSoC within your campus, on social media, and among your peers.
• Organize Events: Conduct virtual or physical sessions to introduce open-source and the GSSoC program to your campus community.
• Foster Participation: Encourage students to participate in the program, attend webinars, and make contributions.
• Engage & Report: Share your activities and experiences with the GSSoC team, and actively engage with the ambassador community.

Also we are scheduling a session regarding this soon , So stay tuned and keep promoting .

[ayesha-quazi]

[yashksaini-coder]

Hi @MastanSayyad I am actually getting an error when I go to Gssoc website to get my badge ID for both contributor & Campus ambassador.

I have applied for both and today got my CA email, will I be considered a contributor only when I receive the contributor email.

Before that I tried downloading the ID badge and got both but they were in different images so I wanted them in new profile image, That's when I encountered this error.

In the image files you can see that I have a contributor badge also td
below are the image files:-

Please tell me what can I possibly do in this situation

[MastanSayyad]

@yashksaini-coder There is no issues, actually before when you download the badges that time we were testing with the data

Currently only CAs can download the badge, after that when Contirbutors mails will get rolled out then you can download that badge too!

[yashksaini-coder]

okh @MastanSayyad i got it. I thought WTF, I got contributor before but now they are denying. I never thougt of that as I had applied 2 times before that.

Thx for the quick help. appreciate it 😃
