// Perspective on GSoC •


As told in Philip Johnson's GSoC presentation [1], open source really seems intimidating. It's a bit counterintuitive, though, isn't it? Communities that are open by definition, being intimidating on such a large factor. 


I think Dr. Nic puts it best: "Is it silly to guesstimate that the biggest hurdle to people contributing to OSS projects or creating new OSS projects is low estimation of self-worth? It’s a theory." [2] Fact is, it doesn't seem silly at all. A few hours spent lounging in GSoC's IRC channel a week ago would provide a number of students worried about whether or not their current skill level would be enough to warrant applying in the first place.


Google's Summer of Code seems specifically designed to take out the big scary monster out of coding for open source projects: self-doubt. That's something I want to be part of. Plus, I can't ignore the fact that I will come out a better programmer out of all of this while using my love for Ruby in a project, for the aid o
