Creating new Variables in the Database
by Aaryan Bhagat 17 May '19

17 May '19

As mentioned in my proposal[1] I will create new variables and modify the schema of how we save things in the database. Here I am facing issues (most probably because I am a newbie in SQL Alchemy). I am not able to understand how to exactly implement this. Relevant searches in the docs provided nothing substantial ( If there is then provide the appropriate link in the reply ) If there is not then GSoD guys take note, we can have a doc page on how to modify database if the admin wants to according to its needs( although it is highly rare for someone to do that so not that much priority upon this ).

Interested in Working on the Mailman Documentation for GSOD
by Ariessa N 03 May '19

03 May '19

Hello everyone, I'm Ariessa Norramli, a 2nd year student in Software Engineering and freelance writer. Before I started college, I did a number of freelancing jobs on Upwork. I've written for diverse topics such as finance, technology, pop culture, weddings, and cryptocurrency. I'm interested in working on the Mailman documentation for GSOD because I love writing and programming. I taught myself coding at the age of 15. My favourite programming language is JavaScript because of ES6's short form syntax. So having the opportunity to combine both of my passion is definitely something that I'd love to try. As of now, I own a website <https://bitsized.me/> and personal blog <https://ariessa.github.io/>. I am really looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance. Best Regards, Ariessa Norraml

Participate as a Technical Writer for Google Season of Docs
by Ananya Maiti 02 May '19

02 May '19

Hi everyone, I am Ananya Maiti, a Software Engineer located at Hyderabad, India. I am interested to participate as a technical writer in this year's Google Season Of Docs. I love python and have been working mostly in C++ and python these days. I have been a GSoC 2016 student in publiclab.org on a Ruby on Rails project and largely contributed to the community in between 2016-18 on increasing first timer inclusion and making documentation newcomer friendly. I also have been involved in python communities in India and attend python meetups that happen around me. From documentation perspective I love writing markdown and use it for any documentation work I do. I am also familiar with reStructuredText. I went through Mailman's ideas list of GSoD and I am interested in working on one of its projects. I maintain my own blog [1] where I write about some of my experiences in python, Linux and GSoC. I am currently looking at the Hyperkitty and Postorius projects and getting a local installation for them. Looking ahead to contribute to the community! [1]: https://ilovefoss.wordpress.com/
