Since I regularly use Octave for work, contributing to it would be a rewarding experience. After GSOC, I plan to stay with Octave and contribute as much as I can for its development. I also plan to push for Octave as the primary numerical computations platform used in my college and hopefully, guide some juniors too. | |||

Constructive criticism is very important for the project. From the point of view of a committing student, I feel that criticism may be discouraging at times, but is needed to guide the project on the right path. Healthy criticism is fundamental to development of any project, otherwise flaws may show up later which would be very damaging for the project as well as undermine later work. | |||
