The coding period finally starts tomorrow, i.e, 23rd May 2016. All the 1206 selected GSoCers this year will begin coding on their respective projects. Like any other GSoCer, I am also excited to embark this journey of code, collaboration and new learning this summer. Although it is my second time as a GSoCer but I can hardly feel any difference in my excitement level :P. I have already updated my proposal and timeline after the project assignment for AUT. The only thing left now is to code, code and code.
The Community period although does not include any coding stuff officially is a great time to know people in your organization. It feels great to meet people who are equally passionate about FOSS. And this year with the facebook group I have come across people not just in my organization but from all the selected organizations. People have already started sharing their blogs and projects. This is surely a plus point this year as compared to last year.
Bdw, the scheduled hangout with my mentor could not happen as she was travelling then and I have re-scheduled it to 28th May 2016. My timeline for the first week looks rather neat, I will be working on the test scenarios and running some dummy tests to test the dev environment. I will be working on Windows 10 with Eclipse as my IDE and Selenium as the framework along with Maven as the build tool, TestNG for the test scripts, Jenkins for continuous integration and Saunce Labs for running tests on the cloud. All my codes will be available on Github in the Systers AUT repository. It is empty now, will be updating it shortly. Stay tuned!
Let the coding begin! :D
