Re: [gnome-women] Question about GSoC 2013

[meg ford <meg387 gmail com>]

Hi Nicole,

I was accepted and completed a GSoC project last summer with GNOME and I only knew Java when I applied. I have a friend who worked on Wine (working on code in C) with Google as his mentoring organization last summer, and he didn't know any C when he started. So it can be done! 

I would suggest that you contact the mentor for any project that interests you so you can start working on a patch. That will give you a sense of how to contribute.

Hi all,

I'm currently a third year studying computer science student and am interested in working on a project for GSoC 2013 this summer.

I mainly work in Java and know some C#, but I'm looking through the GNOME projects page and it seems like the primary language used is C.

Would I still be able to contribute to a GNOME project with my current coding expertise?

I posted a similar thread in the gnome-love mailing list, but I also wanted to introduce myself to this community. :)

Thank you for all your help!
