Hey GSoC Contributors,

As part of your GSoC journey, all contributors are expected to publish **at least one blog post every week** throughout the program, starting after the **Community Bonding Period**.

During the community bonding period, you should publish **at least one post** to introduce yourself, share what you’re learning, and reflect on your early project exploration. More posts are always welcome if you have extra insights or updates!

If you haven’t set up your blog yet, now’s the time. You’re free to choose any platform you like. Here are a few suggestions:

- [Medium](https://medium.com)
- [Dev.to](https://dev.to)
- [Hashnode](https://hashnode.com)
- [Blogger](https://www.blogger.com)
- Or host your own blog

Once your blog post is published, **reply to this thread with the link** so we can all read and engage with your updates.

🗓 **Weekly blog posts are due by end of day every Friday.**  
You are allowed to skip one blog post during the entire program, but try your best to stay consistent week to week. Blog posts will be used as part of your evaluations, so make sure they reflect your progress and learning throughout the program.

Looking forward to reading your updates and following your journey!

@chintu @shettybharath @capernix @jayg @harshthkkr @nsalifu @twiine @jonathan
