[Sugar-devel] My first blog post regarding GSoC 2018

[Vipul Gupta]

Hi everyone,

I recently wrote a blog post [1] on GSoC 2018 and wanting to get some
views/feedback on it from everyone. It revolves around a fun start-up guide
for people looking to take the first step into GSoC and my views overall
about the initial process.

All mentors and students are requested to comment or suggest anything you
feel that I have missed or add more to a particular section. Looking
forward to connecting with you all.

Thank you !!

Cordially,
Vipul Gupta
