Much GSoC. So RSS. Very Python :)

This is a test blog post to check if the atom.xml for the category GSoC works or not. Python Software Foundation motivates its students to blog at least once in every two weeks (stating the frequency of posting in clear terms because biweekly can be ambiguous sometimes).

Blogging the developments is essential for any constructive task; in my case the task is Open Source Software development using Python.

Why Blog?

Developments entail success, setbacks (interestingly failure is not used in this industry because nobody ever fails), issues, progress, discussion on design aspects and learning.

Update(29th April, 2015)

The list of accepted students was announced yesterday(amazingly coinciding with my birthday). I have been accepted for the Google Summer of Code program as a student under the Python Software Foundation umbrella with the organization - Italian Mars Society. A detailed post on my acceptance can be found here.
