Gsoc 16

[Saurabh Jain]

hi,

I am Saurabh Jain, 3rd year Computer Science and Engineering student
studying at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee. I am quite fluent with
C programming.

I would like to apply for GSoC 2016 under Git in libgit2. I read the list of
possible projects and microprojects to be done. 
I tried to fix this, "Fix the examples/diff.c implementation of the -B"
given in Starter Projects, I made some changes to the code and created a
Issue on the libgit2's Github repository. But no one seems to reply to that,
also the IRC channel for libgit2 seems to be inactive. Please someone
concerned have a look.

<https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/3686>

I would also like to know who will be going to mentor GSoC 2016, libgit2
projects so that I would be able to discuss my ideas with them.

All the concerned Mentors you can drop me a mail at saurabhsuniljain@gmail.com

Hoping for a positive response from your side.

Have a nice day !

Hey,

Open Source projects run because of people who contribute in their
free time (mainly). It might not be possible for someone to be active
all times Sometimes it may take around 2-3 days. Give it a little more
time.

Adding to that: Not everybody reads the whole list.
The first mail you sent, was deep down in the thread for rewriting
rebase --interactive in C instead of shell. The libgit2 maintainer (Carlos)
is highly unlikely to read that as it doesn't affect libgit2.

Posting as a separate thread here increases the chance for him to spot this
message.

Usually you'd cc the people you're addressing as that has highest chance that
the relevant people see your message. (I cc'd Carlos in this message, no need
to resend a third time from you.)

Thanks for the CC. Indeed I generally only look at the git list
sporadically and superficially since most discussions are about the
tool part of git, which doesn't affect the underlying system.

Saurabh, libgit2 development happens on the GitHub repository, so if
you want to contribute, open a pull request there and we'll review the
contributions when we can.

Cheers,
