Community Bonding Week 2 (May 26 ~ June 2)
Community Bonding Week 2 (May 26 ~ June 2)
Hi there! 👋
Here’s my Week 2 update during the Community Bonding period of GSoC 2025 with JdeRobot.
Objectives for the Week:
- Attend the first official community bonding meeting with the organization mentors and fellow contributors.
- Set up my local development environment.
- Have a one-on-one project discussion with my mentors.
Community Bonding Meet (Organization-wide)
We had our first group session with mentors and all selected contributors. It was an insightful and welcoming kickoff! The agenda included:
- Overview of JdeRobot and the main ongoing projects.
- Flash introductions from students and mentors (some cool and diverse backgrounds!).
- Discussion on work methodology and best practices.
- An open Q&A session to clarify doubts.
First Mentor Meeting
Later in the week, I had my first sync-up with my project mentors. We covered a lot of ground, including:
- A brief history and structure of the RoboticsAcademy project.
- An overview of the plan and timeline for my project.
- Setting up a consistent workflow including weekly scrums and blog updates.
- Deciding on tasks to start with during the first coding week.
- Q&A to clear up technical and workflow-related queries.
That’s all for this week! The bonding phase has helped me settle in and prep for what’s ahead. I’m excited to dive into the code next week as we kick off the coding phase 🚀
Until next week—
Ashish
