GSoC 2009 is on!

Today Google Student Blog stated that a new year of google Summer of Code has just started, I think depiak, will join this year. We have been doing great and I think we are ready. Even if they wasn’t interested and I doubt this, I will join this year, it’s really a great experience as a lot of my firends have stated.

What is Google Summer of Code?

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source projects. Google will be working with several open source, free software, and technology-related groups to identify and fund several projects over a three month period. Historically, the program has brought together nearly 2,500 students with over 180 open source projects to create millions of lines of code. The program, which kicked off in 2005, is now in its fifth year. If you are feeling nostalgic or are interested in learning more about the projects we have worked with in the past, check out the 2006, 2007 and 2008 program pages.

While the majority of past student participants were enrolled in university Computer Science and Computer Engineering programs, GSoCers come from a wide variety of educational backgrounds, from computational biology to mining engineering. Many of our past participants had never participated in an open source project before GSoC; others used the GSoC stipend as an opportunity to concentrate fully on their existing open source coding activities over the summer. Many of our “graduates” have later become program mentors.

Final Semester

Saturday before yesterday, was the my final semester’s first day in the college isA . Since, I have been really busy with a lot of stuff, Aflak, working on depiak, and some private work that had to be done. I have stopped studying JAVA for while, which is not a good thing, and I will be starting again tomorrow, in parallel with other stuff needed to be done. Somehow, I feel exhausted, because of work and some troubles I’m facing these days, concerning home and my planning to my life. Sometimes, I ask myself, why did you put yourself in all these stuff, CAT, depiak, Work, beside the college and the graduation project all in the same time, when I find myself replying, “That’s your duty, so never complain”.

2009 Mid-Year Vacation

Today was our last exam this semester, it was about “Internetworking”, the exam was AWESOME! I really loved it especially the first question. Once I read it, I cared about nothing may come in the rest of the questions :D. I should be having almost 1 month to a month and a half as a vacation. It’s really full of stuff to be done, and should be done. From different perspectives, technically, socially and for the future this vacation should be a life changing one, it’s the last chance just before graduation and should be efficiently used.
