Join in people @cappybaradeploy and @praveenscience will be guiding you to the right path of open source!

[Praveen Kumar Purushothaman @praveenscience]

I was once genuinely confused about open source.

I contributed to two #GSoC organisations, spent weeks writing long proposals, and still faced rejection.

Where to start?
How to contribute?
Is this even for me?
If you’ve felt this, you’re not alone.

AI agents don’t run on models alone they run on data.

We recently hosted @andrewmadson11 ( @fivetran ) to dig into why data quality + governance matter more than model size.

@ApacheIceberg makes data predictable versioned, structured, and trustworthy .
Better data>bigger models

[OLake by Datazip @_olake]

Real-time data, AI, and @ApacheIceberg - this is where the next-gen stack comes together.

Join us at our second open-source event.

2026 is the year to grow, learn, and contribute through meaningful open-source work.

As part of SWOC 2026, If you’re an intermediate level data engineer and looking to strengthen your open-source profile this is a great place to start.

[akshaytradesontech @cappybaradeploy]

This one’s going straight into my 2026 recap.

I’m serving as project admin for @_olake for the second time, and this year we’ve been selected as an organization-level repository at Social Winter of Code (SWOC) 2026.
If you’re registered (or planning to be maybe in #GSOC ), this is a solid chance to start contributing early.

I’ve seen how consistent, quality open-source work genuinely helps when it comes to internships and early-career roles.I’ve shared a quick walkthrough video covering:
How to get started with OLake
How to find and choose the right issues
How org-level contribution workflows actually work
How to approach open source with a long-term mindset

We’re also building an active Slack community (link in comments) if you want to engage beyond PRs.

If you’re aiming for programs like GSoC or just want to strengthen your open-source profile, the same fundamentals apply.

At OLake, we’re building a high-performance data ingestion platform and welcoming contributors who want to learn and grow.
DMs are open.
2026 is shaping up to be a strong year for open source.

[OLake by Datazip @_olake]

@sagar_adi45242 @cappybaradeploy Looking forward to your contributions!

[OLake by Datazip @_olake]

Closing out 2025 with a big milestone

What started as conversations around @ApacheIceberg and Open Lakehouse turned into meetups, webinars, deep technical discussions and a strong community.

Huge thanks to every engineer, architect, and open-source contributor who supported.

[OLake by Datazip @_olake]

We just wrapped up one of the final meetups of the year this one in collaboration with @cloudera .
Great conversations around building scalable data platforms, with deep dives into @ApacheArrow writers, next-gen execution engines.
More talks joining us soon in 2026.Stay tuned.

Start building!

Preparing for Google Summer of Code (GSOC)?

This is a great place to start.

One thing I strongly believe in is that GSoC preparation isn’t about waiting for the program to open it’s about starting early and building real open-source contributions that actually show up on your profile as that's where the program managers shortlist your from :)

At @_olake , we’ve opened up a set of open-source bounties along with good first issues, specifically designed to help you start contributing in a structured and beginner-friendly way.

Here’s how you can get started:

1️⃣ Open-source bounties & good first issues
We’ve curated issues that are easy to start with while still being meaningful. The bounties range from $20 to $40 and go up to $100, depending on the contribution and impact.

2️⃣ Tech stack
If you’re working with Java or Golang, this can be a great starter repository to gain hands-on experience with production-grade open-source code.

3️⃣ Join our Slack
All conversations, discussions, and reviews happen on our Slack. This is where you’ll interact with maintainers and other contributors and get unblocked quickly.

4️⃣ Pick an issue & start contributing
Go through the open issues, find the ones that match your skill set and interests, and start working on them.
There’s no pressure just steady learning and shipping.

5️⃣ Share your PR on Slack
Once you’ve raised a pull request, drop it on Slack. Our developers will review your work, guide you where needed, and help you improve.

At the end of the day, Olake is all about open source, collaboration, and building in the open.

If GSoC is on your radar, this is a solid way to start building a real and visible contribution history.

Helping every contributor along the way!
If you are interested in open source contributions we will provide you a platform to build with us the world's fastest data migration tool .
Where not only goodies wait, bounties over $50-100 all ready to be picked up and resolved !

[Sandip Kumar Dey @sandipkmrdey]

Thanks @_olake for sending this

@sandipkmrdey Glad you liked it !
Looks good on ya :)

At our recent @ApacheIceberg Community Meetup in India, we also sat down with Narsingh from @fivetran someone who’s been closely observing how data teams across India are evolving their architectures.

Our conversation touched on a few themes we’re seeing more and more across the ecosystem:

• How Apache Iceberg adoption is accelerating in India as teams move toward open, interoperable table formats
• How meetups like these are helping practitioners exchange ideas, share real production learnings, and shape the future of Iceberg adoption locally

Great to see the energy building around Iceberg, and even better to hear these insights directly from the people driving real-world implementations.

More conversations coming soon as we continue strengthening this community and documenting the shifts happening in the data space.
Huge thanks to our partners for powering this edition alongwith @_olake -

The support from the team at @FireboltHQ and others made it all possible .
The ecosystem for Iceberg is flourishing in india and across the world!

[akshaytradesontech @cappybaradeploy]

At our @ApacheIceberg Community Meetup in India, we had the chance to connect with some of the most active voices in the ecosystem including Pascal Schulze from @FireboltHQ .

We spoke with him about two key things shaping the modern data world:

• How companies are leaning into open-source technologies and why Apache Iceberg is becoming a core part of new data stacks
• His takeaways from the meetup, the conversations that stood out, and what this growing community means for the future of Iceberg adoption in India

More conversations and insights coming soon as we continue to build and support this community together.

[OLake by Datazip @_olake]

India’s First Official @ApacheIceberg Meetup wrapped!
An incredible day for the community with great talks and deep discussions.

Huge thanks to our partners for powering this edition: @awscloud , @puppyquery , @Minio , @e6data , @FireboltHQ , @devrelsquad_ , and @fivetran .

[OLake by Datazip @_olake]

A great start but still not an end !
More meetups coming soon

Data engineering connects all parts of AI, development and software engineering — probably a data engineer

One such great example was our @ApacheIceberg community meetup in India the first official one we’ve conducted.

Bangalore being the heart of tech, the meetup brought together data engineers, AI engineers and builders across the ecosystem.

And while the pics show it housefull, it was equally full of ideas, conversations and learning.

Coffee in hand or lunch on the table everywhere you looked, something meaningful was being discussed.

We also had a solid speaker lineup covering everything across the Iceberg ecosystem and how it’s evolving across real use cases.

And at the end thanks a lot for joining @_olake in a successful execution.
Huge shout-out to all the partners who made this possible:
@awscloud @puppyquery @Minio @e6data @FireboltHQ @devrelsquad_
