A period filled with excitement and nervousness.
The one month period should be well utilized for the better understanding of the application by working on small bugs and staying interactive with other colleagues on IRC and work collaboratively.
Hoping to be selected for GSOC’16.
For the love of FOSS I look forward to contribute FOSSASIA organization by the Google summer of code platform or otherwise.
