Hi, all! Today I am writing about the community bonding period. For last 1 months, I spent my whole times to boot up gopy project by using my proposal which I wrote.

This period is called ‘Community bonding’ by GSoC terms. During this period, Every student meet their mentors and discuss their project. In this period, start coding is not a necessary thing. So in my case, I read all the gopy code bases. Through this process, I could design my proposal more concrete. And then I analyzed which code will be generated by cffi and ctypes. So I found pros and cons of cffi case and ctypes case. I discussed cons of cffi with Sebastien. and then I got some solutions from him.

Next step was fixing or implementing simple issues. When starting a new open-source project, IMHO fixing or implementing simple issues is best-practice. Fortunately, one of my mentors, Sebastien Binet provided a simple issue for me.

I began to implement this issue. Just after a few days later, I submitted my patch through GitHub. and reviewed my patch by my mentor. Through code review process, I fixed my approach and code styles. Thanks to this process, I can feel more comfortable about gopy codebase.

Here is the result of the patch.

And I am now working on gopy,bind: add boilerplate code for cffi support. This issue is the main starting point of my summer project. I will talk about this issue later.

Happy hacking this summer!
