Google Summer Of Code Reflections

Yesterday, we reportable that this year's Summer of Code had become to an end.  Google provided a aggregation of statistics most the program, and the full abstract measured rattling impressive.  Today, we got the quantity to speech to a enrollee who was actually involved.

Shashank Agrawal is registered in a threefold honor information at the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad.  During Google's Summer of Code, he worked with Sakai on a cooperation and courseware direction platform.

The limited project's quite interesting.  Agrawal explained that it "will enable users to add web-pages inline," or in another words, it "will earmark users to add web-pages from computer lateral patch they are watch it."  You can't intend more user-friendly than that, and a aggregation of applications seem possible.

Agrawal also picked up a aggregation patch employed on it.  He wrote, "I learnt how an open-source creation is matured step-by-step, how grouping support each another out, how they control to be in sync despite existence geographically distant, how tasks are designed and executed, how issues are resolved; and the tools which support in managing every these processes. . . .  And above every this, I learnt how to impact collaboratively."

As for the Summer of Code information as a whole, Agrawal came absent equally impressed.  He wrote, "SoC exposes you to the vital open-source communities which are doing large multipurpose work."  Plus, "Students who successfully rank GSoC definitely hit an bounds over others during interviews for jobs.  It makes a momentous effort to the resume."
