Re: [soc-dev] Introduction and questions about contribution

Hi,

I thought only students were allowed to participate in the program.

Perhaps Maria Teresa knows about this?

Usually, students start contributing slowly because the program because of exams in universities and then speed up until the end of the project because they have more free time.

If you already have full-time job, you will need to show you can dedicate time regularly from the beginning I guess.

To get more details about a project, yes, you need to reach out to possible mentors.

Regards,

Thomas

Hi Team,

I am not a student but new to the world of open source.

I started exploring open source software and communities during Hacktoberfest last year, and am hoping to get more involved.

Currently in a full-time job as an IT Support Analyst and am planning to switch to a Software Developer/Engineer role in the near future. 

I am familiar with Java programming, SQL with relational databases, and trying to learn new things.

I would love to be a contributor to the Eclipse Foundation as part of GSoC.

Looking through the suggested project ideas, I am interested in a couple of them and need some guidance to get started.

I have two questions.

1) Would I be eligible as a contributor? 

GSoC program rules mention non-students are allowed. 

Despite my job I will manage to squeeze out at least 15 hours a week for this.

2) To get more details about project scope, do I ask here or directly reach out to the respective mentors?

Regards,
Abhishek Das
