GSOC 2009
Yeah ... long time since my last post..... What brings me back to blogging is GSOC. I got selected for Google Summer of Code 2009 :). I am one of the 9 lucky ones from my college who made it ( 101 selections in all from India ) .
For those of you who still dont get it ...whats GSOC is all about...
Its an annual program started in 2005 by Google, in which students from all over the world get to work for various OpenSource orgs n get a huge stipend, certificate from Google and a tshirt :) at the same time...
I got selected for the GenMaPP organisation . I will be developing an annotation tool for Wikipathways ( for more details read / wait for subsequent posts....) over the summer . My mentor is Alexander Pico, he is a project lead for GenMapp and also its admin for GSOC.
During the course of this project , basically I want to improve my coding skills , get to be a part of an awesome community and yeah ... learn a lot of stuff while working under Alex... :)
You guys can also find out more details about the project on my Wiki here . I will be regularly blogging about the project from now on ( as soon as i am finished with my exams :P )
