GSoC was the first time I did.

@SatyaHilella GSoC is a college level event. Google Summer of Code.

I did open source contributions during my final year. Had no intentions of GSoC. I contributed in Zulip React Native project. All of my contributions got merged.

Also, none of contributions were README changes. If you know what I mean 😉. But after job its very hard to take out time and contribute. But recently I’ve been thinking to restart again, but this time some different project.

Projects Under Zulip organisation are great. Was recently contributing to their Flutter project. Zulip community is awesome, helped me alot to get started with their project.

Technically I haven’t started the Open source.

I generally open source my useless projects to share few pocs or for blogs.
Sometimes share the errors/feedbacks via issues.

But have contributed alot for my past company open github projects.
