For clarity, you applied but were not selected. I would interpret you “taking part in GSoC” as getting selected. That said, glad to hear you’ve been gaining experience. It’s worth noting that you’ve made a few patch contributions over the past year as well. Best of luck to you and others getting selected this year which is admittedly going to be even more competitive than last year — students should be talking to the other orgs under our umbrella! > I am interested in contributing to projects considered as Priority and > in particular, I am interested with the "Ray Tracing Performance, > coherent boolean evaluation".

Picking a priority topic without demonstrating capability to successfully work that task is a sure way to not get selected. Careful planning of one’s timeline and preparing a strong patch will be important. > Also, at this point, I would like to ask the Links and Library Paths to > the Source Code? Costa provided several links and discussion in the discussion thread with Param Hanji with subject “Help understanding code”. That’s a great place to get started. Cheers!
