Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects. We have worked with several open source, free software, and technology-related groups to identify and fund several projects over a three month period. Since its inception in 2005, the program has brought together nearly 2500 students and 2500 mentors & co-mentors from nearly 100 countries worldwide, all for the love of code. Through Google Summer of Code, accepted student applicants are paired with a mentor or mentors from the participating projects, thus gaining exposure to real-world software development scenarios and the opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic pursuits. In turn, the participating projects are able to more easily identify and bring in new developers. Best of all, more source code is created and released for the use and benefit of all.

Greetings!
I wish to implement a task-based work flow for Melange, where the
program administrator, organization administrators and mentors will
be able to define tasks, tag them, set difficulty levels and track
students' progress for each task. Also students will be able to look
at tasks, claim them, work on them, indicate their progress for tasks
claimed and submit their work. Also I wish to provide Melange some

GSoC 2009 - Melange
Submitted by madhusudancs on Wed, 04/22/2009 - 09:30
I somehow made up my mind finally to contact Melange folks about GSoC 2009. I made the first move on March 28th, 2009. By this time, I had read the project ideas on Melange's wiki. I had also decided to implement GHOP related task-based work flow feature for Melange. I had done some background work too, before I approached Melange folks for the first time.

GSoC 2009 - Progress during proposal submission stage - Mercurial
Submitted by madhusudancs on Tue, 04/07/2009 - 09:30
In this post, I will talk about my experience with Mercurial and the proposal I submitted. When I was browsing through the list of organizations from GSoC 2008 website I just noticed Mercurial was a mentoring organization too. I knew about Mercurial well. Mercurial is a Distributed Revision Control System, written in Python.

Google Summer of Code 2009
Submitted by madhusudancs on Tue, 03/31/2009 - 09:30
It has been a long time since I wrote. I have become very irregular these days. Hope I get some time to make blog posts again. Thanks to Google Summer of Code 2009, I wish to make a post for each and every milestone I reach this summer, at least because I can read them back as logs whenever I want to recollect my GSoC experience.
Let this post become Milestone 0 :D
