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?
I've scripted a couple extensions for VLC Media Player for Google Code-in:
- http://addons.videolan.org/CONTENT/content-files/140700-wikipediaextension.lua - http://addons.videolan.org/CONTENT/content-files/140696-lyricsextension.lua
Other than that, most of my programming experience has been in classrooms with Java: using the JGame engine in high school and with Swing in college.
Have you developed software in a team environment before? (As opposed to hacking on something on your own)
I've worked on team projects in high school in making a game with JGame, as well as in college, doing the same with Swing. Most of it was done in person, so I have little experience with online interaction with a team project.
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.
No. The most I've worked on are a couple extensions for VLC Media Player (See above).
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.
I've played Wesnoth for only a couple of weeks. I've played through the tutorial as well as some of the Heir to the Throne campaign, and several 1v1 and team games with AI. I haven't played online yet, hoping to learn a bit of strategy before I do.
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, also conversational in Korean and Spanish.
Are you good at interacting with other players? Our developer community is friendly, but the player community can be a bit rough.
I have little experience interacting with other players, but in general I tend to be relatively friendly, regardless of the person.
Do you give constructive advice?
I give positive and honest criticism. Whether it is taken as constructive advice is up to the person, as sometimes I tend to to word sentences awkwardly.
Do you receive advice well?
I like to think that I do. I'd like to say yes, but I'm not aware whether I do or not.
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.
