A short note, your git commit messages should s<span style="background-color: white; color: #24292e; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">tart with "Fix" or "Add" instead of "Fixed" or "Added", which fits well in :</span></span></div>

Hi all,<br />
<br />
Today I got an opportunity to celebrate Linux's 26th anniversary (17th September 1991) with the LinuxChix India team (<a href="http://india.linuxchix.org/">http://india.linuxchix.org/</a>).<br />
<br />
I gave a talk on:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Unix, GNU, and Linux's history </li>
<li>And shared my experience using Linux, Ubuntu, and Kubuntu</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />

<br />
It was a great interactive session. We shared some thoughts about:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>SSH's working</li>
<li>Linux distributions</li>
<li>Flavours of Ubuntu</li>
<li>Kubuntu, KDE Plasma 5 and KDE frameworks, </li>
<li>Linux file system </li>
<li>Kernels and its role</li>
<li>Various Linux Commands</li>
</ul>
<br />
I would like to thank Shivani Bhardwaj and Priyal Trivedi for organising the meetup and Amit Kumar for introducing me to the team.<br />

I talked about KDE, what it aims at, what are the various programs that KDE organizes to help budding developers, and how are these mentored. I walked through all the necessities to start contributing in KDE by introducing the audience to KDE Bugzilla, the IRCs channels, various application Domains, and the SoK(Season of KDE) proposal format. </div>

Then I shared my journey in KDE, briefed about my projects under Season of KDE and Google Summer of Code. The audience were really enthusiastic and curious to start contributing in KDE. I sincerely thank FOSSASIA for giving me this wonderful opportunity.</div>
<br />
Overall working in KDE has been a very enriching experience. I wish to continue contributing in KDE and also share my experiences to help the budding developers to get started.<br />

Time flies, truly. With the end of this month comes the end of such an amazing programme<br />"Google Summer of Code 2016".<br />
As planned earlier I have successfully implemented GSL library to construct histogram for both static as well as dynamic input values.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgseba3J8D4vr4uOI0dZT6ovkpHfZYM2JKNoQ4ncgt6CUo6BiElYj3kzgQtEFbHgI2Sha2zJNbswQeYCZ-KVUdiOXUePj_CqRfoPpN0R42FGeMdsZNTYIrtgZpBPE494FWVDlRIJ2f3JQYd/s1600/HistogramOption.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgseba3J8D4vr4uOI0dZT6ovkpHfZYM2JKNoQ4ncgt6CUo6BiElYj3kzgQtEFbHgI2Sha2zJNbswQeYCZ-KVUdiOXUePj_CqRfoPpN0R42FGeMdsZNTYIrtgZpBPE494FWVDlRIJ2f3JQYd/s320/HistogramOption.png" width="320" /></a><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, a user can <br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Draw different types of histogram for a given set of values.</li>
<li>Change the method of selecting the bin value.</li>
<li>Change background and filling of histogram graph.</li>
<li>Alter the properties of histogram graph scaling (auto-scale. color, pattern).</li>
<li>Mark the magnitude of bin ( individual or cumulative).</li>
<li>Draw/plot more than one curve on same worksheet to enhance the analytic study/comparison.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Though the programme has come to an end, I will continue contributing in KDE community and LabPlot. I would like to thank all my mentors in Labplot.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Conquered one more phase. :) I have successfully completed GSoC mid-term evaluation!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My midterm evaluation target was to create a static histogram in Labplot with an option to add new histogram among the given types and set visible advanced settings.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have added a new histogram dock widget containing the required settings options like selecting number of bins or type of histogram or the color of the plot and much more to be added eventually like settings of the boundary, it's color, style,etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My next task is to draw the histogram for any (static and dynamic) data set. It's time to implement everything that I have discussed and read about GSL libraries and QPainter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Working on a large project like LabPlot is really engaging. A lot of work to be done in the coming up month. :)</div>

5th-6th March 2016:<br />
Thank you KDE India for inviting us to share our experience with 250+ budding developers and spreading the knowledge we have acquired during our projects. It was beyond just a meetup, we made many new friends and also learnt a lot from each other. I would also like to thank LNMIIT for hosting such an amazing conference and for the flawless hospitality. The event was very well planned and executed. I hope the participants find all the talks and workshops effective and implement them someday.<br />
Though the conference was of only two days but I was able to create hundreds of memories as it was my first FOSS project, first talk, and my first ever meet up of such kind.All the speakers had something inspirational to the audience in their talk, who seem to be enthusiastic too, they had a keen interest in knowing more about things and asked many questions out of curiosity. The evening workshops were the most active session wherein the participants were demonstrated how to use KDE software and implement Git commands.And after the day's activity, the chit-chat sessions at the dinner table were the best part where we were able to know more about each other as how each of us worked on innovative ideas and made through it. At the end of the conference director of LNMIIT presented each of us with a beautiful momento.<br />
It was an unforgettable experience.I got to learn lots of things from this conference. I would like to thank each and every person connected with this conference for making it so special and would like to encourage all of my blog readers to participate in such events and contribute to FOSS projects. These are few things you cannot afford to miss. All you need is 1.) interest 2.) idea 3.) amazing organization like KDE and bang! You are almost there.<br />
Good Luck! ;)<br />

I have successfully generated CMake Configuration and have added the code to the kde review board (https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/121758/) , corrections asked were made accordingly. Now finally the main task is to port all .cpp files, which i have been working on for a while.<br />
<div>
Initially got stuck at few places and also had my university examination going on due to which there was a fall in my contribution but now as i am through all these, it's time to gear up the application porting task under the guidance of my mentor.<br />
<div>
Hoping for a good luck.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The very first step for porting application to kf5 is to port first the root CMakeLists.txt files and for that my mentor suggested first to learn about CMake,which has been very helpful .</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have asked for developers access at KDE TechBase so that i can share my code on KDE Repositories, waiting for the acceptance and soon will start updating files there.</div>

<b>Beginning of SoK-2014</b></h2>
<div>
An interesting start to the coding session,setting up all the software required and getting acquainted with the amazing language being used. Now its time to study the code of the existing version of application and finding out the key areas to be updated and learning the porting process with the help of mentor assigned to me.Hoping for a great winter.!</div>
