* Google summer of code is an excellent opportunity for a student like me to work with other developers on a sophisticated software that has a lot of users. I hope to become a better and more experienced developer and to hone my soft skills by collaborating with the developers/maintainers of Octave. | * Google summer of code is an excellent opportunity for a student like me to work with other developers on a sophisticated software that has a lot of users.
