GSoC 2018 Potential Student and Mentor Meet & Greet

Hi! I’m Anirudh. I’m a final year student in Computer Science Engineering. Looking forward to contributing and taking part in GSoC. I have a decent array of skills in web development and am excited to apply those and contribute to the organization.

Hi folks, Thank you for selecting our organization to engage with. Our history with the GSOC and GCI programs has been of great benefit to our mission, and I like to think that the students have enjoyed themselves too. This is exciting to me, as I know that many of you will be friends I grow to value as we work together in the future.

We are easy-going folks here, but GSOC seats are of limited availability, and competition for those seats has proven to be pretty intense. For whatever reasons, our projects have attracted a lot of amazingly skilled and dedicated Students/Interns. We were extremely lucky to get four (4!!!) seats last year. We were prepared to get only one among all the proposals and the three active projects/repos.

I couldn’t say why our organization garnered so much high-quality interest, but if you ask me, the reason why we were allotted four seats for GSOC2017 seems very simple: The students and their project proposals were flat out excellent.

In all honesty, there may be projects out there in which you will find less competition. I actually lost sleep before the selection numbers came out last year, because so many of our students had put forth so much effort to earn a spot, and I was thinking that we would have tell most of them that they were not selected, and choosing the “best one” would have been completely arbitrary. Somehow, amazingly, no such disaster took place.

So what is the key here? Simple. Do as students for 2017 did. Learn the code base. Participate. Learn the practical application of the systems we support here. Target your proposal. Make the strongest argument for your proposal you know how to do. Build a relationship with the other developers here. Build a relationship with the other GSOC applicants. By doing this, I think that may make us a stronger case for being allotted more GSOC spots. If there is a friendly seat-stealing competition, let it be our organization that snatches them from less important projects, not one of our students from another!

HealthCare for Humanity! Viva LibreHealth EHR!

-PS: Please, as you introduce yourself, if you can provide a GitHUB handle as well, that would be very nice.

@mayank8318 you will find a good fit for the radiology and toolkit project given your experience with java

Please work on this task described here REST JSON to FHIR JSON Mapping Implementation

We would like to see your own implementation of this , and you contribute to the discussion on this thread as well as working on other gsoc tagged tickets

Hi, I am Shivashis Padhi. A second year undergraduate, at National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, India. I mainly code in JavaScript (Full-stack), Python and familiar with PHP, C/C++, Rust. I am pretty excited about a particular project, the form-generator. I have worked with a similar project before, but with a administrator-defined XML markup, thus looking forward to contribute to the web development aspects of the proposed projects, this summer as a part of this wonderful community. Below is a link to my github profile: Shivashis Padhi’s Github

Welcome @codedsun Your skills look like they would be of interest to @judywawira

@codedsun Suneet, I agree with Terry. @judywawira Looks like a good candidate for the radiology or other toolkit (and maybe web interface) projects.

@Shivashis_Padhi very happy to see your interest in dynamic form development. Intelligent form design wizards are not trivial projects. You have a lot of guts. :wink:

If you are strong in compiled languages, there is no reason why a form builder tool necessarily has to be a web component of the application either. (“Uh…why does the form generator say “Unreal Engine” at the bottom?

Elements made of knockout.js models would be a real tool multiplier for many-to-one/one-to-many data relationships.

Looks like some real good new people (and plenty of good old-timers) are showing up here. This is going to be awesome!

Hello, I am Akshay Nandwana, final year engineering student from Udaipur, Rajasthan, India. I know Native Android Application Development

Yes @aethelwulffe, you’re right. I realized, one just needs an User Interface to take the basic layout from, like the order of the form components, their types, their contents and if required, the actions also. Everything else can be done just like you said, even not in the web code module.

Looking forward to give my best!

Welcome @anandwana001 I don’t know that we have an android application yet. Look around and see what interests you.

Do not limit your thought process to simple forms. I think a very elaborate form is with in the realm of possibility.
