07:11.20ayush23dashHello everyone
07:12.21ayush23dashI am currently working on a proposal by Mozilla and have a doubt.My mentor told me that it is still not clear whether the proposal will be accepted or not
07:13.08ayush23dashSo I want to ask that is there something like that even if an organisation is selected even then some of their proposals are rejected?

11:27.09sourabhR4ikwarHi anyone active here..
11:29.46teepee_I guess so, yes
11:32.32sourabhR4ikwarHi teepee_ I am new to this whole gsoc thing... If you are not busy can you help me....
11:33.14sourabhR4ikwarI dont get it... how to find the projects to work on...
11:33.44teepee_I'll be off to lunch soon, but I can try to answer some questions and there's more people here that likely will answer too, just may take a while
11:34.19sourabhR4ikwarNo Problem... Thanks by the way....
11:34.21teepee_well, the official list of orgs taking part is not finished - should be posted next monday I think
11:36.09sourabhR4ikwarOkay.. does the organisations assign task or we have to give idea to the organisations....
11:36.38sourabhR4ikwarEnglish is not my native language so please kindly pardon me if i use wrong grammar
11:36.50teepee_orgs propose a list of tasks to select from, normally with different levels of difficulty so picking a good matching task is important
11:37.52teepee_no worries, it's not my native language either
11:39.16sourabhR4ikwardo i need to have a strong github profile to get selected...
11:40.02sourabhR4ikwarLike is it required to contribute to opensource projects before applying
11:44.07teepee_no, it's not required, it helps of cause, but the project is really also meant to introduce students to open source
11:47.35teepee_in my experience from being mentor multiple times, the best option is to pick a task that matches the skills and talk to people
11:48.28teepee_having a good communication is more important than trying to produce lots of code
11:49.15sourabhR4ikwarhmm thats something i have to work on a lot.... Im kinda introvert
11:51.04sourabhR4ikwarNow in general if not applying for GSOC, How do you find a project to contribute to....
11:51.40teepee_what I suggest is to find something you actually use, and maybe even found a small issue to report and work on
11:52.19teepee_we had people even reporting typos in error message what motivated someone to post their first pull request
11:54.17sourabhR4ikwarwow... I feel like i dont have enough skills to contribute to the projects that i use they are way high level........ I am from a web stack... MERN, MEAN I am good at it... But i never feel that confident....
11:54.42sourabhR4ikwarthat i can contribute...
11:55.15teepee_pretty much all projects have topics that are easy to get into, sometimes those are not discussed often, but they exist
11:55.56teepee_e.g. if the project is on a site like github some have tasks specifically tagged as "good first issue" or something like that
11:56.38teepee_if there's a project you are interested in, join the forum / mailing list / irc channel / discord whatever they have and just listen in for a while
11:57.53sourabhR4ikwarI hope im not disturbing your lunch... Thank you for your time... Enjoy your meal.....
11:58.43teepee_no problem at all
12:01.14sourabhR4ikwarat last In your experience can you give me any tip by which i can increase my chances of selection in GSOC...
