Hi, Some people mistakenly thought I am mentor in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2012. No I am not.
I am not part of any organization in accepted list for GSoC 2012 (http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2012). BTW, It is a nice list representing best (active and latest technology) open source projects out there. Specifics of Firefox projects are here : http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2012/mozilla If you are a student interested in participating GSoC 2012, please visit list of accepted organizations, their projects/ideas/tasks and prepare nice application and submit to relevant organization. I think for students it opens on March 26, so hurry up. If you need, I offer to help you in preparing a good application, only if you are interested project of following organization (in accepted organization). + BRL-CAD + CGAL (Computational Geometry Algorithms) + Inkscape + Libreoffice + Mono Project + OpenStreetMap Please do NOT contact me (because I cannot help) + if you have never USED above software, or at least given a try. + if you don't know basics of programming languages required for above projects (that means c, c++, GTK, Javascript etc.). Drop me a mail with your contact no. -- Vijay On Tue, Mar 20, 2012 at 8:59 AM, Vijay Patil <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > Truly inspiring video. > > Being C++ programmer, I always wanted to contribute to Firefox, and > few years back came very close (when I learned XUL and browser > add-ons), but got busy with other stuff. > > In the spirit of Google Summer of code, if anyone reading this (in > Pune area) interested in contributing to Mozilla Firefox, but not sure > about how it will happen, please do contact me.
