Let others know
Let others know about your submission by forwarding your application URL with a brief description about your proposal to the summer-coding
mailing list.
Keep communicating
- We cannot overstress the importance of communication. Keep talking, and listening, to the discussion group, to the sub-projects relevant to your proposal and to potential mentors. Be patient, as mentors and other contributors are often very busy people.
- Please follow the below mentioned guide lines as much as possible.
