[SoC] Congratulations to all the selected students and OSGeo community

Mon Apr 23 16:12:20 PDT 2018

Dear all,

Sincere thanks to Org-Admins for sharing the information about GSoC
selections with us.
It is my first time as a mentor and I am highly enthusiastic and excited
about the same. I wish to congratulate the OSGeo community and all the
students who have been selected for the GSoC 2018. For sure, I will get to
learn a lot.

:)
With best wishes
Rajat

> * Introduce yourself and your project in SOC mailing list as well as the
> mailing list used by your software community, and start a public dialogue
> to gather feedback and refine your project accordingly.
> * Redefine your project with more detailed weekly milestones, with the
> help of your mentors and the feedback of the community, embedding the 3
> evaluation periods in your timetable, adding more details, figuring out
> potential issues, etc.
> * Become familiar with the developer manuals
> * Study relevant material for your project
> * Install the developer environment and get ready to start coding
> * Participate in Mailing Lists / IRC / etc, try and help users
> * Start coding for bug fixes not necessarily related to your project: it

> * Set up your repository, wiki page for your project, blog if you wish,
> etc. Don’t forget to include these info in the report due at the end of the
> bonding period.
> * Ask your mentors for guidance on how to commit to the project
> repository. Bear in mind that you should commit often, not just at
> evaluation periods. However, depending on the policy given by your mentors,
> you might be requested to commit in your own repository and make a PR only
> when the code is mature to be included in the main repo. Discuss the
> details with your mentors.
