Hey all,
I discovered GSoC within the last few days and saw that phpMyAdmin was a mentoring
organization.
I've been coding in PHP and using phpMyAdmin to manage my database backends for the
last couple of years. So I would really love to help contribute to this excellent open
source project.
But given that I have only just discovered GSoC, and one of your application requirements
is to have already contributed to phpMyAdmin, am I too late to make a contribution and
apply?
Absolutely not! Have you seen the Applicant Guide on the wiki [1]? Pay particular
attention there to the timeline — I believe that what's important is that you've
submitted some code by the application deadline.
If not, what can I do to contribute?
Even if you're not accepted or interested in participating in GSoC, you're welcome
to contribute patches or feedback on bug reports and feature requests. You might refer
again to the wiki [2] for more details.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!
