Hi @sanjay-kv, I'm all in for supporting the open-source community! The GitHub Brain Badge is a fantastic way to highlight not just coding prowess, but also the spirit of collaboration and knowledge-sharing that defines the open-source ethos.

I strongly believe that meaningful contributions, such as answering questions and providing guidance, are vital for fostering a strong and inclusive community. Whether it's assisting with debugging, simplifying complex concepts, or offering valuable insights, I'm eager to lend a hand wherever I can.

I'm excited to announce that I'll also be striving to earn the Brain Badge through my meaningful answers and contributions.

Is the galaxy brain badge can be obtained by GSSoC? Can't it be gained from any other event's community discussion page?

[sanjay-kv]

its public , so can be obtained by any repository. but here in gssoc we made it easy as obtaining these badges are not easy.

[maha-sachin]

Hey @tusharshah21 , the Galaxy Brain badge on GitHub was specifically associated with the GitHub Discussion feature.
And it's earned through active participation in GitHub Discussions across various repositories and communities.

While participating in events like GSSoC (GirlScript Summer of Code) can certainly provide opportunities for engaging in community discussions and earning recognition
