Hi,
I'm Buddhi Vikasitha, an undergraduate of the Department of Computer
Science and Engineering at University of Moratuwa.
I thought about contributing to major projects while doing my studies at
the university. Searching for some potential opportunities to work, I
saw that you offer student developers to work with your projects. Also
there was the link to GSoC 2016 project details.
I was very happy you have programs for students. I would like to know
and join if there is any more programs offered for students than letting
us contribute by code. But even with contributing to the phpMyAdmin

What exactly do you have in mind? There are many ways you can contribute

code, but it will depend on what interests you.
more detailed explanation than the webpage is what I
seek for. At GSoC
2016 I am more than happy to contribute to you because contributing to a
As far as I am aware, GSoC is limited to actual application code due to
Google's guidelines.
major project in the world is what I am going achieve
these days. I need
information about the above points if you are happy to provide them.
Hope you get back to me with a reply to this. Thank you very much.
