Hi everyone! 👋

I'm Yihan Li, currently based in Toronto 🇨🇦 and pursuing a Master's in Information Systems at Northeastern University.

I have 2+ years of full-stack development experience and have previously contributed to Apache Gravitino. I’m trying to learn more through contributing to open source.

I'm currently exploring the Mahout Website Refactoring idea for GSoC 2025. I’d love to learn more about the current website structure and community priorities — especially from those involved in this idea, like @rawkintrevo.

Looking forward to learning from and contributing to this awesome community! 🚀

Hi everyone! I’m Shajiya Khan!

I’m super excited to be here and start my journey in open source!

I’m an IT student who loves coding, especially working with Java and web development!

This is my first time contributing to open source and also my first GSoC experience! I’m eager to learn from experienced contributors, improve my skills, and be part of something meaningful.

Since this is my first open-source project, I’m beyond excited to contribute, help make it bigger and better, and continue supporting it in the long run! Looking forward to collaborating with everyone and making an impact.

Excited to connect with you all and contribute!
