[GCI-discuss] Google Code In 2017 Participant, Want to be a part of OSGeo's family !

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Piyush,

(please always reply to the mailing list in your responses, this helps 
communication flow to everyone)

Actually not all OSGeo projects use that Github repository, so I 
recommend that you follow the advice in my previous email to get 
familiar with an OSGeo project that interests you.

Maybe you might want to add yourself to the OSGeo member map?  See 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:OSGeo_Member  If you are 
interested, be sure to let me know here what your wiki account name is, 
when you click on "Register" there (we have to manually approve these 
requests due to spam).  But you are not forced to do this, this member 
map is totally optional (but fun ha!).

We are very happy to hear that you will be hacking away at OSGeo 
projects for the code-in! :)

-jeff & OSGeo Code-in admins & mentors
