Google Summer of Code is a great place to start collaborate with big and complex free software. The preparation time to code for a first time in a big project only is justifiable if there is much improvements wanted by the programmer in that software. Octave take my attention because Matlab is the proprietary software that my professors more incentive to use even without the property licence, Octave should replace Matlab in every application even the graphical ones. Learn to code big softwares and work in a community is my main interest, fame cold be a second objective, the money is also a good incentive. | Google Summer of Code is a great place to start collaborate with big and complex free software.
