GSoC Workshop First Day & Second Day
Today and last Sunday I held the Google Summer of Code™ Your Way to a Global Mission Workshop. The first day went fine but I expect that I will present better than that; this may be due bad weather it was a very rainy day. On the first day I discussed the open source philosophy and I focused on how to join open source project on the ‘traditional’ way. I emphasize a lot on open source because none of the attended students has participated before on open source and very few of them used open source projects. And I know for sure (because I’m graduated from the same university) that they didn’t introduced probably to open source.

The seconad was sunny! and I did better than the first day. On the second day I talk specificlly on GSoC and how to join this program. But I notice that some of the students have some fears from participating such big program some of them might think “Oh, this is Google and the most prestigious FOSS organizations what I’m going to do! “. I belive GSoC is a challenging program in which I pushed my self to the limit. GSoC is designed for students and they know that you’re a student and you’re here to have fun and learn.
