Thanks Vincent! As regards proposition of further development of XWiki - I found out that I'm not suited for remote working. GSoC experience was very cool and unique, but I discovered that it's much better for me to have personal face2face contact with people that I work with. But I will stay connected to your mailing list since for sure I plan to use XWiki for some of my future work. As regards LinkedIn recommendation: here's my profile: https://www.linkedin. com/in/krzysztof-p%C5%82achno-67b52199/ I'll be very happy to accept your contact proposals, if you want to add me to your network. And as regards XWiki T-shirt - if I had one I would wear it with huge pride :) Thanks again for this cool experience of being GSoC student for XWiki.

Vincent, sounds like a nice list of things to do after. I think the hardest part is the initial contact, after you have understood the contribution mechanisms, it's a matter of time and availability in order to contribute some more.

Krzysztof, give it time :) remote working has its benefits and cons. I think it's mostly suited after you already know the people in person or after you have some experience with the project/work type, but if it weren't for remote, we could not have collaborated at all :) some people are not that fortunate to find cool projects around the place they live in. I like the global aspect of GSOC and Open Source in general. I'm curious if in time you will change your mind :) Thanks, Caty

Hi Krzysztof,

Ok some people prefer the interaction, I can understand that. As Caty said, the remote option allows to all work together which isn’t something we could do otherwise. But it needs getting used to it for sure. A small alternative is what Thomas is going, i.e. going to work in a co-working space. You’re still not surrounded by people you work with but you’re in a working environment with other people you get to know and value.
As regards LinkedIn recommendation: here's my profile: https://www.linkedin. com/in/krzysztof-p%C5%82achno-67b52199/ I'll be very happy to accept your contact proposals, if you want to add me to your network.
Yes we’ll do for sure since we’ve been very happy with your work on XWiki :) I’ll let Thomas add the comment since he was the one working the most closely with you! (But no pressure, we'll understand if you don’t have the time nor the itch :)).
And as regards XWiki T-shirt - if I had one I would wear it with huge pride :)
Ok will let you know when that happens. FTR I’ve put a repeatable design task for GCI about designing such a T-shirt: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleCodeIn/ Let us know if you’d be willing to help mentor GCI students with the rest of us. We need more mentors :) And even if you mentor only a few tasks, it helps!
Thanks again for this cool experience of being GSoC student for XWiki.
Thanks again for your work -Vincent
Best, Krzysztof
