KWoC — Kharagpur Winter of Code 2017
I came across Kharagpur Winter of Code during summer and I was waiting for it to start. I have never contributed to open source projects and it was a great experience to start off with KWoC projects. Since I had to prepare for ACM ICPC, I couldn’t be an active contributor. I however chipped in some time to contribute to 3 projects.
- Fast_playlist
fast_playlist: I did a clear button for the playlist. Earlier, user should remove each video from the playlist manually. Now, user can click on a button to clear the whole playlist. The pull request’s(which got merged) link is given below:
A sample screencast is attached below:
2. tv_series
I added a license file to the repository. This repository automatically creates a static page after scraping data about TV series. I wrote a code to scrape details about F.R.I.E.N.D.S TV series. Since the TV series is very long, each season has its own Wikipedia page. The pull request I made can be found below:
The pull request did not get merged. The page generated for my code can be found below:
3. motivate
In this repository, I just added quotes for the repository. I added 180 quotes as 9 files. Everything got merged.
I could not contribute much after December 15th due to ICPC and other commitments.
I thank all the project mentors who took their valuable time to guide newbies like me. Special thanks to all my project mentors.
It was indeed a great experience which helped me a lot and I am looking forward for few more.
