@dharmik #Inkscape required that you fix two bugs. I think I must have fixed two bugs from the bug tracker, and then chose one of the GSoC projects and wrote a proposal.

My GSoC was successful in the sense that my mentor and I did some work on the guidelines in Inkscape. Was able to get some understanding of the codebase. Unfortunately, by the time the project ended, the code was no where ready to being merged, and I went into full time university. I was not able to regularly contribute to Inkscape after that. Ideally we should have chosen a project that could be merged within two months.

My mentor was nice and supportive. Had a great experience overall. Learnt a lot. I think I was the first person to build Inkscape with clang++. Made a small patch that allowed Inkscape to be built with that compiler.

I definitely would like to contribute to Inkscape some day...
