GSOC '13

Introduction

Self-assessment is the ability of a student to observe, analyze, and judge one’s performance on the basis of criteria and determine how one can improve it.

I have gone throught the IDEAS page and have read the information regarding the same, on Tim Hunt's blog about the layout/structure of a project. What I want to Build Next

Schedule

GSoC divides the summer into two main periods

1. The first phase, 17th June - 29th July, leading up to the mid-term evaluation.
2. The second phase from, 2nd August – 15th September.
3. There is also a pre-phase and a post-phase.
