University Campus Portal

[shivangi bajpai]

Hello,I am Shivangi. I am a django developer and I will apply for the GSoC 2016. I have gone through the ideas page. I am interested in "University Campus Protocol" project idea. I have already made a similar project named College Centralization System in one of the hackathons.The project consisted of different user login for students,faculty and administration with their different functionalities that could be universally used by any college or university.The project also consisted of a chat application for the interaction of all users. Also ,I have made few more projects in django invoIving rest api,redis web sockets etc.and I am currently involved in Stanford crowdresearch program in which they are developing a crowdsource platform for requesters and workers based on django and angular js. I am currently doing contributions in django and python.

Can you tell me some details,if there is need for patches to be submitted?

Thanks.

Hi Shivangi

Thanks for sharing your details with us. You seem to already have worked on similar projects as per your email. 

Since UCP is going to be developed from the ground up, there is no scope to submit patches for it yet. Please do include links and details of your past projects and open source contributions in your proposal. We would be keen to see your proposed wireframes for the project, technical details about implementation, designed models (scalability) and database schema in your proposal.

Feel free to reach out to me in case you have any queries about the project.

Hi Kushagra

 

I had made a demo web application of a health center for a university which had some functionalities like different logins for different users, registration of patients, email notifier, medicines available, searching medicines in the center etc., in web2py. I have working experience of django as well. It would be great if you could provide some more details on how to proceed for the project. Do I need to directly write a proposal?

Try to come up with the portal design first, get feedback on it from me. Next, formulate a plan of action as to how you design your models, database schema so that the app is scalable as well as the permissions are handled correctly, making the system usable for a large number of students.

Hi!

I'm a student at IIIT Hyderabad keen to contribute to UCP. I've experience with Django ( Tried making an ecommerce site) and plenty experience with front end technologies ( worked as principle front end developer in different startups). I've done a bit of web design too ( My Portfolio can be seen on my website: http://shubhamrathi.in/)
If I understand right, I could get started by creating the initial UI (responsive) and basic functionalities in Django before I submit for feedback?
I'll be happy to know any examples/ features that need to incorporated in the design.

Thanks,
Shubham

You can however it is not required. I would suggest that you atleast include the wireframes for the project in your proposal.

[Kiran Konduru]

Hello,

I am Kiran Konduru, currently in second year of computer science at NIT Warangal. 

I loved the idea of University Campus Portal and I am very much interested in working on it.

I am very well versed with Python, Django, HTML, CSS, bootstrap and MYSQL and also familiar with Javascript. I have a good knowledge of C/C++ and also know the basic operations of MongoDB and Nodejs .I have also worked with php for one of my projects.

My experiences in Django include an internship with a startup names bookpool. I have also worked on our college fest http://springspree.in 

I am member of wsdc(web and software development cell, NITW) which is responsible for all the online activities in the college.Here we have separate portals for students and faculties which is used for everything from online hostel allotments to results to attendance for each individual student and feedbacks for the teachers under which we have taken a particular courses. So, being involved in this, I have a basic idea on how to approach this problem statement.

So having spent a considerable time in developing with Django, I think this project will help me refine my skills in Django and improve as a whole in this field.

Looking forward to contribute to UCP.

Thanks!

Hi,

This is Devendra Dora , pursuing  computer science and engineering in NIT Warangal .

  - Developed various Web apps like Student, Faculty, Results Upload, Faculty Recruitment and Hostel and Mess Allotment portals used by almost 5000 students, faculty and admin in NIT Warangal and Lead web and sofwatware development cell , NIT Warangal (The above portals are private which are used in NIT Warangal , so not sharing the links).

- Web coordinator for cultural fest of NIT Warangal (http://springspree.in/)

Infact,  most of the features to be implemented in "University campus portal"  are similar to the projects which were mentioned above.

Moreover I have enough experience in web development especially python (Django,Flask) , PHP (codeigniter) , Mysql. Mongodb , jquery , angular js.

It would be better, if you can assign some tasks related to University campus portal now, so that i can work on.

[Janga reddy]

Hi,
My name is Janga Reddy,and I am a sophomore at the IIT Kharagpur. I have experience with HTML,CSS,Bootstrap,and a workable knowledge of using APIs and Python. I made a couple of Web applications using responsive design and jqeury , and you can go through my work here. I would like to work on the project on "University Campus Portal", during Gsoc 2016. I have a query regarding submitting a mockup for review by the mentors. Do I need to submit just the front-end design and theme sample, or along with the backend features?

[Shubham Rathi]

I'm already familiar with Django and other Front end technologies. To get started, I'm planning to implement the index page in full and then a registration page. Is this good to start or would you recommend that I focus on something else? Is there a particular part of the project which you would want me to work on to test my proficiency/ understanding?  
Also, What version of Django would you recommend that I initiate the project on: 1.8 or 1.9?

[Avnee]

Hi Kiran, Devendra, Janga and Shubham

Thanks for introducing yourself to the group. 

@Devendra: Since the project is going to be built from the ground up, there are not any coding tasks yet. You may however want to work on the wireframes and overall software design of the project to include these details in your proposal.

@Janga: You should also submit your plan of action to develop the project. I would be interested to see how you design your models and database schema for the project. We also have a list of things that you should include in your proposal here: https://github.com/BuildmLearn/BuildmLearn-Toolkit/wiki/Guidance-for-Students#project-proposal

@Shubham: We would suggest to work with 1.8 LTS version. You may submit a sample django project with your proposal - to show your skill set, however this is not compulsory. Please include links to your past projects in your proposal.

I am interested in contributing to the project 'University Campus Portal' during GSoC 2016.

I have been using Django for about a year now, having built several Django powered web app in hackathons and one web-app tagtraqr.com in production. I am the sole contributor to this project which included working on frontend, backend, database designing, restful and oauth2 apis for mobile clients as well as running and maintaining the production server. I would like to discuss on the database designs with the mentors soon. Please let me know where can I discuss that.

A quick introduction, I’m Siddharth Singh, a second year student at IIIT Delhi, India. My major is Computer Science.

Thanks and Regards

   Hi,

           I am Syed Aqhib, Computer Science B.E sophomore at Madras Institute of Technology, Anna University, Chennai. I am fairly new to Open Source(hoping that it's not a deal-breaker) and recently happened to chance upon GSoC.

           I found the idea of a campus portal quite interesting and would love to work on it. In fact, I just started working on a similar web application for a University course project. I'm quite familiar with HTML5/CSS3, Javascript and the Bootstrap Framework. Although I have used python for other purposes, I've never used the Django Framework to develop a web app. I intend to learn the framework over this weekend.

          I've read the 'where to start' section for this particular project and was wondering if i could start working on a basic web application right away (after learning Django).

Thanking you for your time,

Syed

[Aviral Gupta]

Hi,

I am Aviral Gupta. I am in my third year doing B.Tech from Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology. I did a course on Web Development (Elixir) from Coding Blocks, New Delhi during my last semester. 

I learnt Django during the course. So, I have been working since then on a major project using Django which is still in works. Apart from that I recently developed an online web application for Online Treasure Hunt game for my college fest which uses Django as a backend framework and Bootstrap for front end. I have good experience with Bootstrap as I have also developed my own website and website for the ACM Chapter of my college using the same. 

I think I ll be able to implement the University Campus Portal with the experience I have gained over the last few months. I would be delighted to work on this project during my summer breaks.

Please tell me how I should proceed with the proposal. :) 

Ps. I know I am late, but I would definitely submit a full proposal ASAP :)

Thanks.
