I heard about Google Summer of Code at the end of last year while looking for a solution of a problem on Drupal Site. A person there had written about her participation in the GSoC in her profile. So I went on the GSoc 2012 website and learnt about the program over there. and that day I decided that I will participate in the program next year. I am passionate about working with Open Source Projects. I am willing to learn new things and working with organizations. I have never done that and I think that it is a big oppurtunity for me to be a part of a large Open Source Organization. I think there will be a lot of stuff for me to learn especially new experience in meeting new people and to work with the people that are out there with the passion of helping others.With the whole summer to spend in coding something worthy, I think it will improve my skills and will provide me a way to learn new things and to learn how to manage programming projects while working with others , and a good feeling of helping others while working with an Open Source Organization. And with a certificate offered by Google alongwith a worthy stipend there is a lot to gain during the whole summer | I heard about Google Summer of Code at the end of last year while looking for a solution of a problem on Drupal Site.

I have heard about Octave while taking online classes on Coursera. And since it is similar to Matlab and its free, I think its a better choice for students who cannot afford to pay license fee of Matlab. I have chosen Octave because it offers things that helps a lot in Engineering. And being an Engineering student, I think it is a good choice for me to work with Octave to make it better and more accessible to others. | I have heard about Octave while taking online classes on Coursera.
