| 12:39.58 | jn__ | danishsharjeel: what about it? |
| 12:40.44 | danishsharjeel | I just joined and I don't know what to do next or where to check for topics and conversation. Can I please have some guide? |
| 12:41.08 | jn__ | well, you can just start a conversation by asking something |
| 12:41.50 | jn__ | the topic line is: "Google Summer of Code: https://g.co/gsoc | Google Code-in https://g.co/gci" |
| 12:44.43 | danishsharjeel | I've want to prepare for gsoc 2020. I'm new to programming, I've been taking courses in Python Programming from Coursera (Specialization in Programming by Dr. Chuck) |
| 12:45.27 | danishsharjeel | I don't have any experience in open source programming and the projects I have done are from my course. Can I have some guide how I can prepare good enough? |
| 12:45.40 | achillion | danishsharjeel: hanging around here is nice and all, but it's pretty quiet when the programmes aren't running. |
| 12:45.51 | jn__ | https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/ |
| 12:45.52 | achillion | Have you read the guides in the topic that jn__ linked? |
| 12:46.00 | danishsharjeel | Yep |
| 12:47.06 | danishsharjeel | Thing is I want to practice before I apply so that I can know which organization is preferable for me and what I should practice more. |
| 12:47.15 | achillion | The usually advice, which I fully support, is to pick an open source project you use, preferably something small. |
| 12:47.42 | achillion | and then find their bug tracker and contribution guide and start working on it a little bit. |
| 12:48.51 | achillion | It doesn't have to be a project that will join GSoC if you're just preparing and practising contributing |
| 12:50.01 | achillion | Though I guess if they do join and you're already a contributor, it will increase your chances of them accepting you. |
| 12:50.25 | danishsharjeel | I'm not. And I don't know how to join one or which to choose. |
| 12:51.00 | achillion | My main point is that contributing to a project you don't care about for the sake of it will likely be less fun and less engaging for you. |
| 12:52.24 | lesderid | ^ |
| 12:52.56 | achillion | Well the how to join question isn't easy to answer. Projects often have guides for newcomers, some are harder to join than others. A lot of times it's like joining an open club... you just show up and start doing the thing the club does and you're in. |

| 12:57.26 | danishsharjeel | Can you please give me something like hint what open source I should join as newbie? |
| 12:57.45 | danishsharjeel | Getting Started with Python |
| 12:58.56 | danishsharjeel | and using python for Data Mining is what I've learned this far. |
| 12:59.37 | achillion | Which library do you often use in Python (that's not standard library)? |
| 13:00.46 | danishsharjeel | up till now sqlite3 |
| 13:02.59 | achillion | I believe that's standard library. Not that there's anything to put you off that, I just think it might be easier to join a smaller project when you're new. |
| 13:05.17 | danishsharjeel | Shall I try some organizations from GSoC 2019? I think they provide open source projects to contribute in. |
| 13:08.46 | r0bby | danishsharjeel: Sure -- projects are always open to newcomers. As a matter of fact if you make contact early, it increases your chances of being selected for GSoC 2020 |
