Wow, it has been more than a year (see: eternity) since I last wrote a blog post. I guess this was one of those things that just fade away with time. To be honest, it was more about the lack of time than anything else. University life has been busier than I expected. I completed the 5th semester of my undergraduate studies by the end of 2016, and I was yet to do anything that would “validate” my existence as a “Computer Engineer”. I had to do something meaningful with whatever I’ve learned in the past …. umm.. many years?

So I started finding some Open Source organisations whose work and ideas were aligned to (one of) my interests, and that’s when I discovered DBpedia. I contacted the contributors and understood how DBpedia functions and got my hands dirty with some of the source code. I actually wanted to contribute to the organisation, and since DBpedia was (is) a regular GSoC organisation, I decided to apply for it.

Thankfully, I was accepted in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2017 with DBpedia (Yup, one of my proudest moments :P). So, I’ll be spending my summer working on “Wikipedia List Extractor” project. I have to document the progress project of my project regularly, so this gives me the opportunity to re-kindle my Blog.

I’ll keep updating my experiences from my GSoC crusade, and maybe some other random stuff. Hopefully, I’ll stay put for a longer period this time :P
