Week 8

 

Week 8 Highlights (19/06/2024 - 25/06/2024)

This week was productive, marked by successful PR merges and progress on new milestones.

  • Early Wins: In the first two days, I addressed all outstanding comments on PRs for M1.2, M1.3, and M1.4, leading to their successful merges. I encountered a challenge with the M1.2 PR related to the Docker volume cache (CI cache not refreshing). To resolve this, I created a new PR and successfully addressed the issue.
  • Continued Progress: Later in the week, I focused on M1.5(a) and M1.6. I created and merged a PR for M1.5(a), which involved updating the navbar and writing acceptance tests to ensure its functionality. I also created and merged a PR for M1.6, which covered adding the hero and partnership sections to the About page.
  • PM Demo and Next Steps: On the last day, I presented my progress during a PM demo. The feedback was constructive, and we identified some bugs that require attention. I plan to address these comments and aim to create a new PR M1.7(a)within the next two days.

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.

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.
