Hi Thomas, Ana and Obey,<br><br>Your answers put a smile on my face. :) I will start learning Python, I am planning to do so for quite some time, my friend recommended it to me too. Now I have bigger reason to do it. I'll try to improve my packaging skills until the project starts. I hope you will choose me for GSoC, but still, if you don't, I will still continue to contribute and to use Debian with love. :)<br>
<br>Greetings and thanks a lot for your kind words,<br>Karolina<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 3, 2011 at 23:30, Obey Arthur Liu <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:arthur@milliways.fr">arthur@milliways.fr</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi to all,<br><br>My name is Karolina, I'm a student from Serbia, and a proud user of Debian. Some may know me from Debian Women list. I'm also a packager for Debian, pidgin-microblog is my package, and I'm preparing some new ones in recent time. But, I'm not a programmer, at least not yet. So, I was wondering if there is some way that I could participate in Google Summer of Code. I saw that in Google Code-in was some projects that are not strictly code related. I would like very much to participate in GSoC, I would like to learn to code to, if that is possible in such short notice. Please tell me if there is a chance for me, so that I don't apply if It is not possible. I would continue to contribute to Debian no matter what. And I'll see you at DebConf, of course. :)<br>
<br>Thanks in advance,<br><font color="#888888">Karolina<br></font></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>You're enthusiastic about Debian, know how Debian works and are eager to learn, so you're already far ahead of many people.</div>
<div>We're only in March. That gives you one and a half month before we start ranking submitted proposals. That's plenty of time to start thinking about projects and get yourself started on a language of your choice.</div>
<div>My personal bias would be to start learning Python. It's easy to learn and powerful to use and used by many Debian tools. Think about it!</div><div><br></div><div>Good luck. Don't let yourself be intimidated by code.</div>
