Add README.md 's and/or project descriptions for the repositories that you created, like https://github.com/BlinfoldKing/CMSProject . Help a potential mentor see what your repositories are, so they can focus on the ones which relevant to your proposal, and ignore the ones which are not relevant.

Also upload old code, like games you tried to create using the unreal game engine, and use git commit --date="..." to correctly describe when you wrote the code. And add a README.md explaining what you were building, and especially explain any bugs or limitations you experienced in the game engine.

Processing is a great choice. Maybe you want to create a Processing demo, e.g. front page for https://github.com/gsocindonesia/gsoc-orgs using its json data. Lots of logos you could use in a visualisation, or maybe use tags to build a dynamic word cloud.

Also you might be interested in playing with https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms

thank you, ill see what i can do

[ceefour]

@jayvdb is his proposal good?

[jayvdb]

@BlinfoldKing , create https://www.openhub.net/accounts/blinfoldking and claim your contributions to important repos. e.g. https://github.com/zulip/zulip-electron/commits?author=BlinfoldKing&since=2018-02-28T17:00:00Z&until=2018-03-27T17:00:00Z

A lot of thought has been put into the Godot proposal. Great level of detail, and images. Nice to see.

coala should have a GDScript bear :-(

[BlinfoldKing]

@jayvdb thanks, GDScript bear would be a great idea, but maybe i should learn more about the core system first

[ceefour]

@BlinfoldKing I guess you could let the mentor know you're planning to add a GDScript bear as a stretch goal ...?

[BlinfoldKing]

i don't know whether i could afford to strect the project with GDscript bear with my current skill and understanding, but i'll try consulting with the mentor.

[ceefour]

@BlinfoldKing Ok, I think you should focus on what they want/like first. So in this review period you're expected to be active with the mentors, and discuss/refine/clarify points in your proposal. If the mentors have specific contributions they'd like you to do to "prove yourself" then you should try your best to do it.

[jayvdb]

See https://github.com/google/gsocguides/pull/24 for clarification on what is expected from students now. The hard work begins now!

[jayvdb]

https://github.com/repology/repology/issues/598 is a great opportunity to practise skills, and build your resume for next year's gsoc application.
