Hi Michelle, Thanks for your interest in XWiki and its GSOC projects. As you know, the GSOC program has a timeline http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2010/faqs#t.... All you need to do is to watch for the application period and submit your proposal for your selected project. Just for the record, XWiki has a lot of girls as contributors, mainly from Romania, but we would be very glad to see even more girls from all over the world :P Keep in touch, Caty On Sun, Mar 7, 2010 at 15:54, Michelle Shi <[email protected]>wrote:
Hi Devs,
I am a girl from China. I am a student pursuing my BS degree in The Central University Of Finance and Economics. My major is Electronic Commerce.
I love Open Source, but in China Open Source is not so popular. Open Source is powerful and the idea of Open Source can accelerate the development of the Software indursty. I want to involve into a Open Source program, learn Open Source method and popularize open source in China.
One of my friend use XWiki as his personal Knowledge repository and dairy. I try xwiki in myxwiki.org. I think is a powerful platform, in which any applications can be built on it, only limited by your imagination. I want to learn xwiki and use the power of xwiki. The best way to do this, I think, is to involved to xwiki. I follow the mail list and ask question in IRC xwiki channel. I find the guys in xwiki community are very nice to help others. I like that. I want to contribute to xwiki, as open source guy do.
I checked the 21 proposal projects, and I think I am interested in Calendar application proposal. I use google Calendar which is a great product. I have program skill in java, but I don't have must experience in JaveScript and ajax. I will try my best to learn xwiki and related knowledge.
I need your help to do this, and I will do my best.
Look forward working with your guys.
Thanks. Michelle Shi
