I have been a student developer under Python Software Foundation for the last 4 months as a part of Google Summer of Code program and have successfully completed the program on 31st August 2020, the last day for this year’s program! So, for the unacquainted — What is Google Summer of Code (GSoC)?

Well, It is an annual program in which university students all around the globe contribute to open source during their break from school in the summer(starting from April/May and ending in August). The program consists of organizations which register themselves in the program around February with the projects that are going to take part in the program. The interested students start discussing project ideas with the organizations and apply to these projects with their proposals for those project ideas, the accepted students then start to code throughout the summer. The program is incentivized by Google by offering a stipend to the accepted students.

I have created this website using the hugo static website generator https://gohugo.io/ and is still a work in progress! : D I am currently using the LoveIt theme https://themes.gohugo.io/loveit/ by Dillon

I will be documenting my GSoC'2020 journey and adding descriptions about my projects in the coming weeks!

I have also been posting GSoC related blogs on https://blogs.python-gsoc.org/en/sakshamaroras-blog, you can check them out!
