Hello everyone,

My Name is Wisdom Nji, a Freshman Computer Science Student at the
Catholic University of Bamenda, Bamenda-Cameroon. I am proficient in
C/C++ and I've been a member of the OpenSCAD community for some few
weeks. I will like to do GSoC with this organization and it's my first
communication with the open source community. I am interested in
collaboration projects on the BRL-CAD and sister organizations. I will
like to apply for two projects that is Improve DXF import and Export
and Multithreaded Geometry evaluations Projects for OpenSCAD. I will
greatly appreciate any guidance and resources which will facilitate my
understanding of the these projects and also submit my proposal.

I have forked the github OpenSCAD code repository and cloned to my
computer. I am trying to compile the source code and will be motivated
to complete any participation requirements I may be missing.

Thanks for the Assistance.

Thanks,
Wisdom Nji

Hi,

I would strongly suggest getting OpenSCAD built and start looking into the details of those projects.
Both projects will require some degree of refactoring of existing code, as well as significant use of external libraries.
Showing that you’re able to read code, understand the limitations of the current solutions and give good suggestions for how to solve it would greatly improve your application.
If you have the chance to also show that you’re familiar with both C++ and git workflows would make it easier to evaluate your skills and application.

Also, introducing yourself on IRC to chat about details will help us get a feel for how you communicate and work.

Kind Regards,

-Marius
