Mentors Getting Started with RailsGoat SOC Initiative

  1. Here is your OWASP Slack invite: https://owasp.herokuapp.com . Introduce yourself in the RailsGoat Slack channel. I encourage you to ask questions/give suggestions in RailsGoat Slack channel so we can get ready for student proposals in the near future.
  2. Ask the OWASP org administrator to send you an invitation to set up a GSOC account before you can log in to the GSOC website.
  3. Register on OWASP/GSOC Google Group as specified in OWASP/GSOC wiki.
  4. Get involve in RailsGoat community. Comment on RailsGoat issues, write up a new RailsGoat issue, or submit a RailsGoat Pull Request, participant/monitor in RailsGoat Slack channel.
  5. Feel free to ask questions in the RailsGoat Slack channel.

Students Getting Started with RailsGoat SOC Initiative

  1. We really appreciate your interest in the RailsGoat SOC Initiative. While we wait for Google to open up the GSOC student proposal submit time-period (March 12-27, 1018), we encouraged you to read up about the RailsGoat SOC Initiative on this wiki page and follow the links under OWASP/GSOC 2018 Initiative.
  2. We see that OWASP applied to GSOC 2018 and has been selected. We do not know yet how many students "slots" Google will give OWASP or if we will get any of the slots given.
  3. We hope to be a part of the OWASP GSOC Initiative and currently working to staff the ideas listed below with mentors.
  4. Start thinking about the project "idea" or ideas you want to work on. You can pick one of the ones listed at the end of this page: OWASP/GSOC Project Ideas or come up with one yourself. You will be creating a proposal based on the"idea" and submitting it to Google between March 12-27, 2018.
  5. Here is your OWASP Slack invite: https://owasp.herokuapp.com . Introduce yourself in the RailsGoat Slack channel. Feel free to ask questions in the RailsGoat Slack channel.
  6. Get involve in RailsGoat community. Comment on a RailsGoat issue or submit a RailsGoat Pull Request.
  7. Suggestion for First Issues: I would suggest that while you are setting up your RailsGoat environment and reading the RailsGoat repo's documentation that you write up things (one thing per ticket) that are confusing or out-of-date. Then we can work them one-by-one to improve the initial experience of working with this project. Also remember to work on your "GSOC Student Application/Proposal" if you want be be officially part of GSOC 2018. You can add comments/questions/show interest to any GitHub issue with a GSOC tag.
