Demo outline and timeline

Information:

• [x] 1. Project Name & Purpose: @jessieAnhNguyen

• Name: Quarantime

• Purpose: In this quarantine time, millions of people all over the world are in lockdown and staying in their homes. A lot of them are working on awesome open-source projects, but might not have a way to share their progress or receive help from others. Thus, "Quarantime" is a social media platform for people to share their projects, connect with other developers, and make opportunities available to the community.

• [x] 2. Introduce the Team:

• Kunal: Sophore (becoming Junior) studying Computer Science and Engineering in India. Open Source enthusiast, community guy ☀️

• Aniketh: Final year undergraduate student studying Computer Science Engineering at Karunya University

• Saphal: Final year undergraduate student studying Electronics and Communication Engineering at Delhi Technological University

• Jessie: junior studying CS at University of Rochester, currently in Vietnam

• [x] 3. Explain the problem: @jessieAnhNguyen

  • This Pandemic has affected a lot of people, especially students. We believe in the power of the community.
  • We have focussed on 2 aspects here for students:
    1. Lack of awareness regarding opportunities
    2. Finding it difficult to get started with Open Source
  • We understand that it gets overwhelming to get started with open source for a beginner. Most of the students don't get the right guidance during their school/college years. They are unaware of the opportunities available.

• Students don't have yet a fun social media platform where they can post about what they are working on and share opportunities before and after the lockdown.

• Also don't have a way to find what's trending in the open-source community (technologies, platforms, etc.)

• Students might also wanna have a group chat to discuss with each other about a project, etc.

• [x] 4. Demo the Solution: @anikethsaha @jessieAnhNguyen @kunal-kushwaha Keeping that in mind, we have built this social media platform for people to:

  • Share their stories during Quarantine time, helping the community by making them aware of the opportunities available (both during and after lockdown) that they might not be aware of.
  • Open-source the projects that they have worked on, be it at Hackathons, School projects, etc. so that other students can collaborate & learn in addition to helping the project grow. This will increase community engagement among students and promote the open source culture.
