[Android-tools-devel] GSOC'18 | Introduction | Shivam Mittal

[Chirayu Desai]

Hi Shivam,

Thanks for your interest in our project!  As for the kinds of skills
required, most of the work will be related to Java, but not
all.  The kinds of things we work are:

* Android Java programming
* building and managing Java jars
* C code and building with Makefiles
* how Debian works
* how to make Debian packages

We do not expect you to have all of these skills, but you'll need to be
strong in at least two to be an effective contributor. And of course
part of this is about you learning new skills.

Your existing skills will definitely be useful here.

Next steps for you are to look through the Android Tools team wiki to
learn about the project and what needs doing, and to put together your
application based on the questions in the project description.
https://wiki.debian.org/AndroidTools

For putting together your application, you can see the applications from
previous years to get an idea of what that should look like:

Feel free to ping any of us in IRC when you have questions.
