This 2014 and 2015 has been two years I have been involved direct and indirect with the Google Open Source Program. In 2014 I was selected as a student of the GSOC 2014 for the BeagleBoard.org . This 2015, I helped organizing one GSOC Meetup at local University. I'm quite happy of organizing this meetup, because a student was selected. Raul Lopez  is the second consecutive Honduran student in being part of this program. I was also a co-mentor for the  BeagleBoard.org  and continue helping on the development of Bone101.This was a great experience seeing how it works the other part of the story. Besides this, I was organizing the VII Central America Open Source Summit  . The Google Open Source Program helped us sponsoring this great event.

Yesterday I received an email that make me happy! I received an email from an Ubuntu Mail list, that was almost dead. In few words, the email said Ubuntu is going to be part of the Google Code In . This are great new! But why I have a lot of interest that Ubuntu is part of the GCI? Well. the first time I listen about the Google Summer of Code and Google Code In, was on 2010 . Ubuntu was part of the GSOC and I was on college, months later the GCI began, unfortunately I was to old (18 years). So I began my work on trying to be part of this program. I tried on 2011 and failed with KDE , 2012 with New Vision for Public Schools and in 2014 I finally did it with the BeagleBoard.org ! This year I help the BeagleBoard.org as a co-mentor and I'm planning to help Ubuntu for this Google Code In as a mentor. For my surprise I have an old friend working on this, the great  José Antonio Rey . If you want to help join the irc: #ubuntu-google on freenode   or the mail li...

I know this is not an Ubuntu related post. But I really wanted to share to the Ubuntu Community that I was selected to be part of the Google Summer of Code 2014. Just a special thanks to Paul Tagliamonte (@paultag) told me to continue trying after not being selected last year. April 21st was a great day for me! I received an email from Google informing that my proposal was accepted. I will be working this summer with the BeagleBoard.org  organization. My project is to improve the on-board tutorial enviroment for BeagleBone with live running interactive examples. If you want to read more about the 7 projects of BeagleBone, you can read them here

I report it, at the beginning I though it was going to be reject it. But I was wrong, two days ago I received an email informing me that my suggestion was approved. So if you like Google maps and find some mistake you can edit it go ahead. After this experience with google maps, I will give a try to OpenStreet
