RTFM ? Nah “Go look at my employers website”

Jun 10th

RTFM == ? Well if you dont know about it already.. Prolly you *should* not know about it

But for those who do, getting shot by questions that makes us tempt to answer “RTFM” or “JFGIT”!!

Today while talking to Barry Carlyon, a programmer friend on the GSoC channel, after an hour of discussion or less than that, he made a statement in the end,

” You can use our employers website to find the information you need. lol”

And I replied “Where did it come from?” as in, what made him say that…

“Our Employer is Google“

yAy!!!

Yea right, even though it is a part time its a full time employment It’s a bit complicated though, we are currently employed by Google officially for the whole of Summer 2008. [Thanks r0bby for the correction, i figured we are full time on it for the Summer]

So guys, you might well want to change that statement… from JFGIT to

“Go look at my employers website for the information you need”

/me should now get back to code wars

PS: If you couldn’t figure out the keywords in this blog post, you might well want to look for that information on my employers website

This year I proposed an idea as a part of the Google Summer of Code 2008 program which Google has been organizing since 2005 to promote Free and Open Source Development by sponsoring FOSS based organizations in their projects.

My idea got Accepted!!

My idea was to add a feature to the Sahana Disaster Management System. Read more about what Sahana is here.

I will write more about it soon!!….

For now, here is the link to my idea – http://code.google.com/soc/2008/sahana/about.html

This is a sponsorship by Google which promotes Open Source Development each year by paying each idea a stipend amount to the Organization/Project and the student developer upon successful completion.
