Subject: Interest in Contributing to FM Broadcast Radio Application (GSoC 2025)

Hi Andrej,

I hope you're doing well. I came across the FM Broadcast Radio Application project under GSoC and found it incredibly interesting. As a 2nd-year Computer Science student, I have experience with Python, GUI development, and networking, and I’m eager to contribute to this project.

I have already explored the existing repository and would love to start contributing to enhance the project. Could you guide me on where to begin and which areas need the most attention? I’m particularly interested in working on GUI improvements, signal processing integrations, and RDS decoding.

Looking forward to your guidance and the opportunity to collaborate!

Best regards,
Varun Sharma

Hi @varun28sharma, it seems you haven't read https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php?title=GSoCStudentInfo and submitting pull requests to (random) other projects which might have been mentioned in a GSoC idea on our page is not the best way to interact with the community and get in touch with the mentors.

Furthermore this pull request does not make any sense without the correct change in logic in the corresponding C++ code. @bastibl feel free to close.
