Google Summer of Code: Week 3

This will be my last week for the community bonding period to end. From June 1 will have the coding period to begin officially. I am happy that I have already done a good amount of progress in implementing my proposal. This document will show you the log for Week 3 of Google Summer of Code.

Worked on the inputs given by my mentor Bhathiya Perera and made a PR fixing them.

I went through https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23283551 shared by my mentor regarding best practices for writing SDKs. That was huge information, given by professionals with good experience in building helpful SDKs.

May 26: [research]

I had a small discussion on releases with my mentor which drove me to peep into GitHub Releases and tagging commits.

May 27: [research]

Read about podman, daemon less container engine, and how it can be compared to docker. So if that could be any optimization for use on the raspberry pie. Found that it does not make any significant difference.

Refactored code and other changes as requested by Milindu S. Kumarage on PR

This is a really rewarding part, having got a good amount of confidence and learning from the past few days on topics like python and docker. I went to stack overflow and gave answers. I am happy that my reputation spiked from 11 to 191. Link to the Stack Overflow Profile

I would say Stack Overflow is one of the most active communities I have ever seen before.

That’s it for this week, will have more [code] days in the coming weeks which will be published soon here.
