Re: GSoC 2014 aspirant

HI Pooja,

You should link to the patches in your proposal (if you can edit it) otherwise maybe link in the comment area below the proposal itself would do the trick. Doing that will help your mentor to find your patches and comment on their relevance to your proposal. You also till have time to contribute to Evince before the candidates are chosen formally, for what that is worth to you.

In general it is a good idea to include all GNOME contributions you have made as the project (in my view) is likely to favour candidates they think are more likely to stick around and contribute after the summer project is done. That said, I am just a lowly contributor throwing in 2 pence. The person you really need to seek advice from is your mentor really. Who is the mentor for the project you are proposing? They're supposed to advise you on your proposal and in general, your project too.

Hope that helps,

Magdalen

Hi,

I am Pooja Ahuja. Presently am studying B.E. in Computer Engineering, at University of Pune, India. 

It would be an awesome opportunity for me to contribute to GNOME, for my participation in GSoC '14. 

I am well-versed with gtk, c and c++. I've done quite a few projects using the same. As well as contributed to code bases like Pidgin, Mozilla Firefox and Ubuntu.

As a result I wish to work on the ideas for Evince's Annotations. I'm new to Evince code base but however have soon got myself familiar with it.

I have submitted three patches on GNOME Bugzilla so far. 

My concern is that these three patches weren't related to Annotations. Is it still good enough to be considered in my proposal? (Since they are outside the module of my proposal idea.) 

Can I please get some push regarding this idea . So that I can further build my layout on it.

Thanks,

Pooja
