Congratulations! As you can see above, your proposal has been accepted as one of the projects under NumFOCUS umbrella for the Google Summer of Code this year. You should be pleased, you have been selected from many very high quality applications.

In this email you will find general information being a NumFOCUS GSoC student. You will also receive a email from your mentor with information about working on your project soon.

  1. Good communication between student and mentor is important for your success at GSoC.

    If you have any problem with your relationship with your mentor, please contact one of the administrators. We are here to help you.

  2. The coding period only starts on 30 May. For today until it we are at the "Community Bonding Period". During this period you should

    1. Create a blog if you don't have one. We suggest that you use GitHub Pages. We have posted a guide to get you started. If you have trouble we will help you. After you create your blog, you should send to us the link of it.

    2. Subscribe to https://groups.google.com/a/numfocus.org/forum/#!forum/gsoc if you didn't do it yet. You can use this list for public general questions.

    3. Get to know your mentors better. We recommend to schedule a online meeting (IRC/Google Hangouts/...).

  3. When the coding period starts you must

    1. follow the "Schedule of Deliverables" of your proposal. It's OK if you need to change it a little as long as you talk with your mentor about it.

    2. every two weeks, at least, write a blog post status report of your project. This way we and the rest of the project can see how you are doing and help you if need. It's good if you already start writing a blog post during the community bonding period to get in the habit.

    3. [optional] you can use tools like https://github.com/karandesai-96/devlog to keep a track of your progress during the summer, this will also come in handy while writing your blog posts.

Good luck.
