Google Code-In Experience
Hello everyone,
This is my third year in Google Code-in competition. I am participating in Google code-in to know how an open-source community works. In these past years, I have been working with Sugar labs in GCI, and I have learned many things.
There are tasks for beginners also. There are 17 organization this time. There are 5 types of tasks : Coding, Documentation / Training, Outreach / Research, Quality Assurance, and User Interface. Participants also gets prizes like digital certificates, stickers, T-Shirts, hoodies and even a trip to Google's HQ.
Sugar is available as a Live CD and USB, installable through several Linux distros.
In these past 3 years, I have learned many things, like how to code better, problem solving, how to interact with communities, and how to fix some issues. I am willing to keep contributing to sugar labs even if I don't win.
Sugar labs can help me, and of course younger minds in great ways. It helps students how to learn things.
