Google Summer of Code 2015

So, the results are out and my proposal 'NetworkX : Implementing Add-on System' is accepted. So, here it is, my first summer of college and I'll be coding. What a bliss!

For those who don't know, NetworkX is a python library which participated in Google Summer of Code 2015 as a sub-org under Python Software Foundation.

Coding starts from May 25. I'll have to get familiar with the community first. And gather all the knowledge that I'll need during the summer. For it, I've been reading an O'Reilly book, Python in a Nutshell. Part V of the book 'Extending and Embedding' is very helpful for me.

Also, I've found SciPy tutorials very useful. I've recently watched the one for Cython. I wish NetworkX will have one of those in upcoming years.

That's all for now.

Cheers!
