Open Source Workshop
CSE 3rd seniors hosted a workshop on open source systems on Saturday (29/9/19). The workshop, meant for 2nd-year students (mainly of ECE and CSE branches), attempted to teach the juniors a bit about how open-source platforms worked. It also provided some basic information on GitHub, and also answered questions of GSoC(Google Summer of Code).
This marks another step in a great initiative taken by the third year seniors. This marks the latest of a string of workshops hosted by the seniors. They've provided much-needed information to juniors regarding numerous topics such as competitive coding, open-source platforms, internships etc. Such initiatives help juniors become better programmers, and also helps in their placements. This is extremely vital as the coding culture in our college isn't the best, and a lot of juniors simply lack the knowledge. They don't know much about the field, and thus don't know how to improve, and what things to focus on. This initiative from our seniors is great to see, and it inspires juniors to follow in their footsteps, and give back to the community.
The Present era is the age of Deep learning and Artificial Intelligence. Every thing is software driven. This is where the power of the Code comes in. The open source projects are a major target for any developer. To give this a boost Google annually sponsors a very competitive event "Google summer of code" where all developer from across the world represent their skills. It is a great honour for our college that one of our 3rd year CSE student was selected for the event. He had worked with people of world's great open source communities. It's being very kind of him, that he is now holding workshops for guiding others regarding GitHub, open source projects and Coding.
