GSoC 2026 Interest – OpenCouncil Budget Visualization Tool + Recent PR

Hello Andreas and Christos,

My name is Sheshank Garrepalli, and I am a developer and a recent graduate
who has recently started contributing to OpenCouncil.

I am very interested in participating in GSoC 2026 with GFOSS, specifically
on your "Municipal Budget and Technical Program Visualization Tool" idea. I
love the combination of PDF data extraction, structured data modeling with
Prisma/Postgres, and Next.js/TypeScript visualization to make municipal
budgets accessible to citizens.

To get familiar with the codebase, I:
- Set up OpenCouncil locally and explored the Next.js/Prisma architecture.
- Fixed the meeting highlights query so only user-created highlights appear
on the highlights page (merged PR:
https://github.com/schemalabz/opencouncil/issues/234).

I would like to contribute more toward the budget visualization project
before the GSoC application period. To do this effectively, I have a few
questions:
1. Do you have 1–2 example municipal budget / technical program PDFs that
contributors can use for experimentation?
2. Is this tool planned as a module inside OpenCouncil (extending existing
Prisma models/Next.js routes) or a separate service that OpenCouncil
consumes via an API?
3. Are there any existing issues/documents describing a preliminary data
model for budgets/projects?

I would appreciate any guidance on next steps or recommended areas to focus
on. My goal is to submit a strong GSoC proposal for this specific project
under GFOSS.

Thank you for your work on OpenCouncil and for mentoring GSoC projects!

Best regards,
Sheshank Garrepalli
