Suggestions for potential GSOC students

[Federico Capoano]

Try to interact with us on the public channels. Use private IM or email only for confidential information.

Once the coding starts we'll probably interact more privately, but at this stage let's keep discussion public and shared so everybody can participate.

Remember to read and reply to the questions contained in the section "how to work with us" of this page:

https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5694014226432000/

Show us you are able to acquire the required skills to complete the work. We know you may not have all the skills required to to everything, but you need to be ready to roll up your sleeves and work hard to learn and improve.

Play with OpenWISP2, get a real router, try to connect it to the controller.

Read code of the various openwisp2 modules.

Work on open bugs.

If you find new bugs, open new bug reports.

Try to participate to the discussions on the public channels (mailing list/forum and IRC).

Consider applying for more than one idea.

Ask questions. No worries if you are wrong on something. Don't be afraid to write on the mailing list. Don't be shy. Try to be precise in what you write and do.

Participate and contribute in general, this way you'll experience the world of open source communities!

Hi Fed,

Does applying for two ideas mean implementing both of them in the GSoC period or any one of them depending on the project being selected?

Students can only be selected to work on one project during GSOC. I suggest you to read the program rules carefully.

Sorry I was from mobile and I had to be brief.  

Here's the program rules:

https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/rules/

Relevant section:

Each Student may submit up to five (5) Project Proposals; however, only one (1) Project Proposal may be accepted per Student.

I suggest every GSOC student to read those rules.

I also suggest this manual:
