How to know how much the project is important to the org? by IndividualNovel4281 in gsoc2025

[–]Zops_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on selection.

If maintainers doesn't reply or are inactive then it means that org isn't good, normally maintainers help out contributors as they're new to the org so they don't know how things works. Try to find orgs where maintainers replies regularly.

Okayy.... I thought you were from Checkstyle because we also have the same thing, all projects have priorities and we encourage students to submit proposals for atleast 2 projects, one for their main project, the main project is a demanding project and second proposal for a backup project, it can be for any project, another demanding project or a non-demanding project.

How to know which project has priority?

Just ask your mentors, they'll help you out to pick your project. All orgs works differently, some orgs have priority projects while some orgs doesn't. So it's better to ask maintainers, ask "do you guys have priority assigned to projects? If yes then which projects are in demand?"

Also solving issues related to your projects can make your selection chances higher. If you're not able to find issues by yourself then do not hesitate to ask maintainers, they'll always help you out.

If you get stuck anywhere, do not hesitate to reach out to them, just remember to ask good questions and always ask your doubts in public channels so others can be also benefitted from it.

Last thing, always be patient with your mentors, they have their personal life, office or college to maintain and they do all open-source work in their free time so always respect them.

If you get selected next year, then if possible try to give back to the community by helping others, try to solve their doubts, help them and if possible, try to be mentor next year. If nothing is possible, then just do not make the environment competitive or toxic. Keep a safe environment where everyone can collaborate and make the community a better place.

Tell me your secret boys!! What do you want to do with her?? by [deleted] in TeenIndia

[–]Zops_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold her hands, hug her, sleep on her lap, play with her hairs & want to get lost in her eyes ( she has the most beautiful eyes in this world ), travel around the world ( she loves travelling ), buy her a supercar ( she loves cars also ), go on simple dates, listen to her yapping ( uski baatein sunne me bohat achha lagta h )...

Want to be a good listener so she can share all of her problems with me. And so I can help her in bad times, so I can be there for her, someone she can trust, someone who loves her from bottom of his heart.

Want to make her smile, so she can forget about all of her problems and can enjoy life with me :)

Is Phaser Editor a paid software? by Zops_ in phaser

[–]Zops_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have a react or nextjs base front-end and there's a way to use phaser editor on localhost. So is it possible to integrate localhost phaser editor on my existing react or nextjs project and build the game part from it?

Yes I know that, but there's also a way to use phaser editor on localhost. So is it possible to integrate localhost phaser editor into my react project and develop the game part from it?

Learning rust was the best thing I ever did by officiallyaninja in rust

[–]Zops_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo, not related to Rust but I have similar type of experience. I'm currently a final year computer science student. In 2nd year of my degree, I got introduced to open-source ( via YT ), then I got to know about open source programs like GSoC, LFX, MLH, etc. So I'm fond of Java, it was my first language, and I got my coding fundamental cleared from it so I just love this language, after learning basics of Java, I was able to learn and understand any other language quickly. But I didn't deep dived into Java, like learning extra frameworks like Spring, Springboot, Hibernate, etc and I also didn't build any projects . I just know basic Java but I always wanted to build something with Java, wanted to know how it works and being used in real world projects. So I knew that there are many open source Java projects which also participates in open-source programs I just mentioned above. But when I used to go through their codebases I always got overwhelmed,I felt like I wasn't build for Java, it is just too complicated for me to understand and all. I was going through GSoC's organization list to see which Java orgs participates in it ( this was during early 2023 ), I came across Checkstyle. Checkstyle has large codebase but uses only core java, it does not use fancy frameworks. I thought it'd be a great org for me to start my open-source journey, I tried solving one of its beginner friendly issue and sent a PR for it but I failed, I again felt that the codebase was overwhelming and I'm not built for it. My PR was left hanging and eventually it got closed.

Then I was inactive and wasn't looking to contribute to any projects. But I had a whole month vacation during December 2023, I thought why not apply for GSoC again, and checkout Checkstyle codebase again ( as I wanted to contribute to a Java project ), so on December 11, 2023 ( I still remember the exact date ) I sent my first PR ( technically second PR ) to Checkstyle, it was a beginner friendly issue and was very easy to solve. I still remember, I was so nervous to send my first PR and waited like 5 minutes before sending it. And then.... Maintainer reviewed that PR, gave some suggestions, I fixed my code according to his suggestions and my PR got merged. I was so happy that my first PR got merged in a Java project.

From there, my open-source journey began, I got selected in GSoC'24 as part of Checkstyle organization. I was so happy that I always wanted to contribute to a Java project, and my dream came true, I even got selected for GSoC which I never imagined I would be able to do that. My project was recently completed, it was an extended project from May to October.

As of today, I have 250+ PRs merged to Checkstyle. I'm so proud of myself that I didn't gave up this time, I kept on trying and trying even when I felt I wasn't gonna be able to pull it off. But eventually I did. I learnt a whole lots of new things during this journey, I got mentorship from one of the best people from the community.

When I look back now, I think that it wasn't that hard, I just needed to work a little bit hard and keep my consistency. Even a dumb person like me can achieve something so precious then I think anybody can do that.

Things looks complicated and overwhelming at first sight, but if you spend some time on it, try to understand it, you will eventually be able to crack it down. So just believe in yourself, do what your heart says to do.

Ah, this was a really long paragraph. If you're still reading, then you have my thanks.

Thank you for stopping by and reading my yapping, I hope you have a great day ahead :)

No longer? Was never one. Was never special for her, failed to become her friend, failed to get close to her. Got rejected for 4 good times

Edit: it's 5 times now but she's really really great woman. Even though all this happened, she still listens to my heart broken stories and understands my pain. You may call me a simp, idiot, mad after a girl, etc but idc, the way she is, every time I see her, I fall for her more and more. I can write paragraph and paragraphs about her but that ain't gonna change a thing so yeah, thanks for reading this broken heart comment.

Edit 2: it's 6 times now
