[GSoC] Introduction

Lorenzo Pegorari· Jan 10, 2026, 02:40 UTC · lore

Hi everyone!

My name is Lorenzo Pegorari. I am a 23-year-old student from Italy, currently in the final year of my BSc in Computer Science and Engineering at Politecnico di Milano (Polytechnic University of Milan).

Last year I had the privilege of participating in GSoC'25 with the organization BRL-CAD, where I took my first steps into the open-source world.

This year I want to take my shot at becoming an active contributor to the Linux ecosystem, hoping to participate in the Linux Kernel Bugfixing LFX and the GSoC'26 with Git.

Right now I'm learning how to make my first contribution by following the "Hacking Git" and "MyFirstContribution" pages, while also looking for a possible microproject, #leftoverbits, and/or bug to tacke.

I hope to become a valuable member of the community.

Best regards, Lorenzo
