Week 4

 

Week 4 Highlights (22/05/2024 - 28/05/2024)


This week was a busy and rewarding one, filled with progress on several project aspects.

Backend Understanding and Feature Development:

  • Early in the week, I focused on understanding the backend code related to "updating blog post tags by blog-admin." This involved delving into the "blogs" section of the codebase. By analyzing the code, I was able to devise a solution and subsequently created a guide for clarification. This guide will be a valuable resource for the partnerships team for tagging the existing suitable blogs with the new tag. I then created this Pull Request #20346 for adding the new tag.

Collaboration and Problem Solving:

  • I had a productive meeting with a member of the Docker team to discuss a specific issue. I appreciate their assistance in providing a temporary solution until the main issue is resolved. This collaborative effort helped me navigate the challenge and keep moving forward

Week 4: Diving Deeper and Exploring Solutions

This week was a busy and rewarding one, filled with progress on several project aspects.

Backend Understanding and Feature Development:

  • Early in the week, I focused on understanding the backend code related to "updating blog post tags by blog-admin." This involved delving into the "blogs" section of the codebase. By analyzing the code, I was able to devise a solution and subsequently created a guide for clarification. This guide will be a valuable resource for future reference. I then formalized my solution by creating Pull Request #20346 for review.

Collaboration and Problem Solving:

  • I had a productive meeting with a member of the Docker team to discuss a specific issue. I appreciate their assistance in providing a temporary solution until the main issue is resolved. This collaborative effort helped me navigate the challenge and keep moving forward.

M1.2 Progress and Roadblock:

  • I'm happy to report that I successfully completed all components of Milestone 1.2 (M1.2) except for the bar charts section. This signifies significant progress on the project.

  • I encountered an unexpected hurdle while attempting to integrate bar charts using the google.visualization library. The library inclusion caused a noticeable increase in the About page load time. This finding deviates from my initial expectations.

Looking Ahead:

  • Next week, I'll be dedicating my efforts to resolving the issue with the bar charts and About page load time. Exploring alternative libraries or optimization techniques will be my primary focus. I'm confident that with focused effort, I can find a solution that meets both functionality and performance requirements.

Week 1

Introduction  Hi everyone! I'm Akash Paloju, a second-year CSE undergraduate from India, and I'm excited to share my journey through Google Summer of Code (GSoC) with you all. Over the coming weeks, I'll be posting my weekly journals here on this blog as I work on my GSoC project with Oppia. My project, titled 'Add Compelling About, Parent/Teacher, Volunteer Pages,' focuses on enhancing user engagement and conversion rates by creating informative and captivating content and designs tailored to our target audience's needs, as identified through initial user research.

Week 2

Week 3 Highlights (08/05/2024 - 14/05/2024) The week - 2  was all about finalizing my GSoC proposal and laying the groundwork for development. Having already received a tech lead review and resolved most issues during the pre-GSoC period with my mentor’s assistance, I focused on addressing minor changes to finalize my proposal. These changes included: Specifying the Lighthouse suites for which I aim to achieve a perfect score of 1.0. Providing a sample implementation for tracking the event ‘A user viewed the XYZ page for the first time within a week/month’ using Google Analytics. Finalizing the donor box form after insightful discussions with the design team and Team Lead. In addition to these tasks, I engaged in conversations with the Design team for minor UI modifications and the Partnerships team for document management. I held two additional meetings with my mentor to address the remaining comments on my proposal, ensuring its clarity and completeness. Finally I created feature...
