Hello devs,
My name is Tushar Mishra and I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in
Computer Science with specialization in Open Source Software and Open
Standards from the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun,
India as a 3rd year Undergraduate student.
Recently, my proposal for developing an Eclipse Plugin (as stated in
[SYNCOPE-809]) was accepted at the Google Summer of Code. Consequently, I
have been assigned to the issue under the supervision of Mr. Francesco
Chicchiriccò who is my mentor for the same.
I look forward to working under your guidance and I believe I can do
wonders with your help.
Hi Tushar,
as your mentor for this activity, let me express my own deep welcome to
the Apache Syncope community.
Please consider that you are currently in the "Community Bonding Period"
(Apr 22 - May 22), where you are expected to get ready to start
contributing full time.
Community Bonding activities may involve:
* Becoming familiar with the community practices and processes.
(This often involves a mix of observation and participation.)
* Participating on Mailing Lists / IRC / etc. (Not just lurking.)
* Setting up their development environment.
* Small (or large) patches/bug fixes. (These do not need to be
directly related to their GSoC project.)
* Participating in code reviews for others. (Even someone who isn't
familiar with the project can contribute by pointing out potential
inefficiencies, bad error handling, etc.)
* Working with their mentor and other org members on refining their
project plan. This might include finalizing deadlines and milestones,
adding more detail, figuring out potential issues, etc.
* If you are already familiar with the organization, you could be
helping others get involved in the community.
* Reading (and updating!) documentation they will need to
understand to complete their project.
* Reporting or replicating bugs.
In general, I would prefer to keep the communication here, open for the
whole community. You are naturally free to contact me privately as
you've been doing so far.
Should you need live interaction, let's meet on the #apache-syncope IRC
channel - I am generally available there from 9.00 AM CET until 6.00 PM CET
Regards.
