I made my first pull request on January 28th, marking one of my initial contributions to an open-source project. The maintainers of the repository were highly active and provided me with valuable insights and guidance even before the GSoC period. This encouraged me to contribute regularly and continuously acquire new knowledge about Flutter and the related tech stack. When my GSoC period officially began, I had already seen 31+ pull requests merged. This familiarity with the codebase made my GSoC journey relatively smooth.
My GSoC period began. I researched my project during the community bonding period, interacted with fellow contributors, and started working on the project. Along the way, I encountered several setbacks, whether related to writing tests for complex code or dealing with bugs. My mentor consistently provided guidance on how to approach and resolve these challenges. Additionally, I had exams during the GSoC period, so I also considered my academic commitments and planned my work accordingly.
Overall, GSoC was a great learning experience for me.
I would like to thank my mentor Md Noman Khan and Peter Harrison for helping and guiding me in the project throughout the GSoC journey.
I am thankful to Google Summer Of Code for providing me with an opportunity to work with The Palisadoes Foundation.
Talawa mobile app is an essential tool that the Palidsadoes ecosystem needs to support its ever-growing community. With this project, I hope that I have helped to the improvement of the organization through my GSoC participation.
Congratulation Man!!
