Hey Everyone! My name is Jennifer Parak (please feel free to call me Jen), I’m a 3rd Year Student at University of Sheffield studying Information Management & Technology. Thanks a lot for organising the Meetup today! It was really good seeing the Mentors and getting an overview of the project.
I’m new to GSOC, so excuse me if I’m a bit slow and hesitant at the start, but I’m really excited to get started with the projects. I’m very interested in front-end projects such as COMDEV-111 and especially COMDEV-112, because it leaves room for creativity and I would love building something that I contribute by exchanging ideas. I also want to learn a lot during my internship, which is why I would like to choose a project that requires several different skills. I’m confident with Python, HTML, CSS and Javascript, so I should be well prepared and set up for the projects. Is it a problem if I’ve never worked with Bootstrap or jQuery? I’m happy to look into new frameworks and I’m sure I can pick them up really quickly. Any comments that might help me decide one of those projects? First things first: 1. Is there anyone who could help me installing Bloodhound on a Mac? I have python, pip and virtalenv installed, however, virtualenv seems to be making trouble. Might be easier/quicker to explain this on IRC chat, I would really, really appreciate it! I’m really sorry that I can’t seem to install it, I hope that’s doesn’t give me a bad start. 2. Are we going to find out who the Mentor of each project is? (just curious) Thanks a lot in advance. Cheers, Jen
