GSoC 2023 with Orthogonal Labs (INCF)

It is my pleasure to let you all know that I have been accepted as a contributor in Google Summer of Code 2023 with Orthogonal Labs which comes under the umbrella organisation INCF — International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility.

My proposal is titled — ‘Exploring Open Source Sustainability via Agent-based Modelling’. You can read further about my project here.

The basic idea of the project is to develop tools and techniques for managing and maintaining open-source projects, as demonstrated by many organisations. Open-source communities can do great things, but maintaining public goods such as the software codebase and institutional knowledge over time and despite contributor turnover can be challenging, particularly for smaller organisations or projects with limited resources.

The goal of my project is to develop a framework that uses Agent-based Modelling to help open-source community admins to analyse and enhance the sustainability of their open-source projects.
