rsyh93

Why do you want to participate in summer of code?

I've always been interested in programming since I was young. I'm also passionate about free/open source software, but I wasn't sure how I should get involved. I feel that the Google Summer of Code program is a great merger of my two interests and, to be honest, a great way to get paid for contributing.

What are you studying, subject, level and school?

Currently I'm a first-year community college student about a semester away from an associate degree. I'm planning on pursuing a Computer Science degree once I transfer to a university. As for courses, the most recent Computer Science course I enrolled in was the Data Structures course from my college, and before that I took multiple programming classes in high school and was also a student helper for the programming class afterwards.

What country are you from, at what time are you most likely to be able to join IRC?

I'm on the United States East coast and will mostly be available in the evening local time: around 6PM-11PM GMT-5 (11PM-4AM GMT)

Do you have other commitments for the summer period ? Do you plan to take any vacations ? If yes, when.

I do not have any commitments for the summer.

Experience

What programs/software have you worked on before?

Have you developed software in a team environment before? (As opposed to hacking on something on your own)

Have you participated to the Google Summer of Code before? As a mentor or a student? In what project? Were you successful? If not, why?

No, this will be my first time participating in Google Summer of Code

Are you already involved with any open source development projects? If yes, please describe the project and the scope of your involvement.

Gaming experience - Are you a gamer?

What type of gamer are you?

I consider myself to be a casual gamer: I prefer not to purchase games until they go on sale, and then barely play them after purchase, with certain exceptions.

What type of games?

I love all kinds of games, but prefer role-playing games or strategy games, especially those with a competitive aspect. My current favorite game is Starcraft II.

What type of opponents do you prefer?

Are you more interested in story or gameplay?

It depends on the game.

Have you played Wesnoth? If so, tell us roughly for how long and whether you lean towards single player or multiplayer.

If you have contributed any patches to Wesnoth, please list them below. You can also list patches that have been submitted but not committed yet and patches that have not been specifically written for GSoC. If you have gained commit access to our repository (during the evaluation period or earlier) please state so.

Communication skills

Though most of our developers are not native English speakers, English is the project's working language. Describe your fluency level in written English.

English is my preferred language. It's been my main language since I moved to the United States when I was seven. I am able to write college essays or discuss politics in English.

What spoken languages are you fluent in?

English

Are you good at interacting with other players? Our developer community is friendly, but the player community can be a bit rough.

Do you give constructive advice?

Do you receive advice well?

Are you good at sorting useful criticisms from useless ones?

How autonomous are you when developing ? Would you rather discuss intensively changes and not start coding until you know what you want to do or would you rather code a proof of concept to "see how it turn out", taking the risk of having it thrown away if it doesn't match what the project want

I would prefer to have complete and detailed knowledge of the problem I am trying to fix. Once I understand the problem, I am mostly able to effectively work on my own.

-) Practical considerations
+<h4>Communication skills</h4>
-.1) Are you familiar with any of the following tools or languages?
+<h5>Though most of our developers are not native English speakers, English is the project's working language. Describe your fluency level in written English.</h5>
-Subversion (used for all commits)
+English is my preferred language. It's been my main language since I moved to the United States when I was seven. I am able to write college essays or discuss politics in English.
-C++ (language used for all the normal source code)
+<h5>What spoken languages are you fluent in?</h5>
-STL, Boost, Sdl (C++ libraries used by Wesnoth)
+English
-Python (optional, mainly used for tools)
+<h5>Are you good at interacting with other players? Our developer community is friendly, but the player community can be a bit rough.</h5>
-build environments (eg cmake/scons)
+<h5>Do you give constructive advice?</h5>
-WML (the wesnoth specific scenario language)
+<h5>Do you receive advice well?</h5>
-Lua (used in combination with WML to create scenarios)
+<h5>Are you good at sorting useful criticisms from useless ones?</h5>
-.2) Which tools do you normally use for development? Why do you use them?
+<h5>How autonomous are you when developing ? Would you rather discuss intensively changes and not start coding until you know what you want to do or would you rather code a proof of concept to "see how it turn out", taking the risk of having it thrown away if it doesn't match what the project want</h5>
-.3) What programming languages are you fluent in?
+I would prefer to have complete and detailed knowledge of the problem I am trying to fix. Once I understand the problem, I am mostly able to effectively work on my own.
-.4) Would you mind talking with your mentor on telephone / internet phone? We would like to have a backup way for communications for the case that somehow emails and IRC do fail. If you are willing to do so, please do list a phone number (including international code) so that we are able to contact you. You should probably *only* add this number in the application for you submit to google since the info in the wiki is available in public. We will *not* make any use of your number unless some case of "there is no way to contact you" does arise!
