Week 5 Updates from our GSoC Students – Halfway There!
The Google Summer of Code project is halfway complete! It’s hard to believe how quickly time is passing. We always like to share updates from some of our students, because they are all doing really great work!
- Ritik Malik (MARS) – Digging deep into Docker and containerizing Automation
- Yash Prakash (MARS) – Tested Docker implementation and added more elements to the PDF
- Dhruv Sachdev (Dependencies) – implemented the Scorecard project, and building a new worker for Libyear to calculate the dependency freshness of a project.
We know you’re all working hard, so keep up the great work! You’re doing amazing things.
Reminder: Zoom Office Hours Now Open Every Monday
Last week, we started hosting open office hours on Mondays for newcomers to the CHAOSS project. For those who aren’t familiar with this term, it’s a time when one of the CHAOSS community will be openly available on Zoom to answer any questions you have. No registration needed; you can just hop on the CHAOSS Community Zoom call any time during the 2-hour window, and leave when your question has been answered.
- When: Every Monday, beginning June 7
- Time: 9:00 am – 11:00 am US Central (Chicago) Time

Come say hello and we’ll help you find what you need!
And here’s a reminder that if you’re already a member of the CHAOSS community and would like to help out with this initiative, you can sign up for a 2-hour slot here.
