I’m a third year engineering student interested in GSoC 2018, I have been using PyMC for my project on bitcoin prediction and written a paper on the same. I would like to give back to the community by doing the contributions to PyMC. I have started to look into the issues in GitHub. Can you guide me with the further steps?

You can have a look at the [beginner friendly issues](https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc3/labels/beginner_friendly), and try to fire up some PR to get started 🙂

Also, did you have a look at the GSoC project page?
