Community Bonding Period is a very important phase of the GSOC process as I see it. It's a very thoughtful decision on Google's part to make sure all the mentors and participants get comfortable with each other, participants get comfortable with their work which they will soon ensue.
This year, the community bonding period was till the 22nd of May. I took this opportunity to get clarity from my mentor Tuukka (illuusio) about the different expectations from me. We discussed and brainstormed my idea, its possibilities, and the most likely places where we could face tough problems. The project idea itself is quite extensive, and therefore it was necessary to pinpoint this to the exact task expectations during this period of coding which will follow.
As I understand, personally my objective is two fold, learning and implementing. This is always the case in any new undertaking. I am relatively new to Qt and C++ development, but as a man who has worked with Python primarily, I could pick up the concepts, and I still am. I am also trying to utilise my time in solving bugs in similar areas of the Mixxx code as I would be working on to increase my understanding.
I have 3 months to finish working on this idea which I am all pumped up about. Honestly, now I am also excited about learning to use Qt and C++ on an application at the level of Mixxx.
Let the Coding begin!
