IRC Nick	crucerucalin
IRC Channels	#gsoc #kde #kde-devel #kde-soc #kubuntu #marble
Blog (aggregated to PlanetKDE)	http://calincruceru.wordpress.com/
This is awesome about GSoC	What I like most about GSoC is that I met many people (even though only virtually, at least for now) with which I share interests and passions. Also, I like very much the interaction with my mentors, who are always very helpful and kind to ask any question and share interesting things from their vast experience.
What I'm learning during GSoC	I think that the most important thing I learned so far is how to efficiently communicate within a community. All of us have worked on personal projects, school assessments and things like these, but working within a community is different and this experience has taught me many valuable aspects which will certainly come useful in my career. The other important thing I'm learning is the language itself (Qt/C++) as well as how to adapt to some existing code base.
Status	As mentioned above, I'm keeping a blog on which I will post every one-two weeks (this time I posted after two weeks because I'm in my exam period). I have just added a new post in which I'm presenting my progress so far. The post can be found here: http://calincruceru.wordpress.com/2014/06/05/gsoc-progress-after-the-first-two-weeks/. Currently I'm working on adding new actions on nodes (merging is next).

Blog (aggregated to PlanetKDE)	http://sanjibandotme.wordpress.com/tag/kde/
This is awesome about GSoC	The best thing about GSoC other than the fact that it can be done entirely from home, and any time during the day you want, is that you get so much hands-on experience on almost everything related with coding, and you get to learn so much more. The best thing has to be that you get to interact and work with people who have created entire softwares, and who are so much more knowledgeable than anyone, something which people rarely get the advantage to have.
What I'm learning during GSoC	How object oriented technology can be practically applied step by step using Qt, to create wonderful stuff, is amazing. Working with my mentor is a pleasure. I am getting to learn how to create code, how to optimise it, how to test if it's correct, how to design a plan, and everything that is required. Official communication is an important part of GSoC and it has changed me tremendously as a person itself. I personally consider myself to be kind of a lucky guy that I chose Marble as my project because, my mentor Dennis Nienhüser and the others, are among those people who will never put you down. And that in turn gives you the motivation to work even harder. The kind of real-world experience I am having currently in GSoC is helping me build up my concept in object-oriented programming more and more, and I'm sure this will help me later in future in every field related to this.
Status	My work till now has been described here in the blog post http://sanjibandotme.wordpress.com/2014/05/28/gsoc-week-1/ and right now I am working on adding a slider for the tour playback, along with refactoring it's internal logic and data structures.
