Hello I am Harjot Kaur, a IT B.Tech student from Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College Ludhiana. I want to participate in GSOC 2015 and has chosen OpenScad as my community. I have good amount of knowledge and experience in C++. I have worked on DXF file format and Parser using Flex and Bison tools. I am interested in Improve DXF import and export project [1] given in GSOC Ideas list. I have also started looking at dxflib library by ribbonsoft [2]. What else should I be aware of ? Any Ideas, tips or guidance on moving ahead ?

That's a good start for joining the project and would be needed later anyway. Also it would be nice if you can introduce yourself on our IRC channel to chat about the project. Some useful references are: - The student guide giving an overview about GSoC in general http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCStudentGuide/ - The GSoC 2015 page in the BRL-CAD wiki http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Project_Ideas This has some important links on procedure, communication channels and documents and also a checklist of things to do specific to the BRL-CAD/OpenSCAD participation ciao, Torsten.
