 5 min · Siva Sathyaseelan D N - Github | Gitlab




















I have always wanted to participate in the Summer of Bitcoin and here I am, accepted to the program, writing this blog. This blog covers my experience in this mentorship.

What’s the Summer of Bitcoin?

Summer of Bitcoin is a global, online summer internship program focused on introducing university students to bitcoin open-source development and design.
If you are interested in participating in the Summer of Bitcoin programs, you can find more information at https://www.summerofbitcoin.org/

My acceptance into the program

Once the application process began, I drafted a proposal and I was contributing to VLS for some time which I included in my proposal, which I believe helped me stand out from other candidates.


I want to emphasize that contributions matter a lot. If you are interested in a particular organization, I encourage you to find ways to contribute to their community or projects. This is a great way to show your interest in the organization and your ability to add value.


I applied to only one projects from and got accepted in VLS Test Coverage Improvement.


So, what did you do during mentorship?

I contributed to VLS Test Coverage Improvement.

VLS’s Core maintainers Lakshya Singh and devrandom were my mentors. I had bi-weekly sync-up meetings with them. In this meeting, we reviewed the goals we set in our previous meetings, discussed the progress, reviewed PRs I made, and identified any new goals or objectives that I would like to work towards.


Progress:
