@misaochan Although I am working on the GSoC project right now till August 2020, I would be happy to apply if eligible :)

[misaochan]

Hi @madhurgupta10 , thanks for your interest! You are definitely eligible to apply for this job from my point of view, however you would need to check with your GSoC mentors to see if there are any GSoC regulations that prohibit you from applying for it. :)

@misaochan I am interested too. Will fill the application soon.

[misaochan]

@ujjwalagrawal17 Awesome! :)

@misaochan thanks for opening such opportunity. I'm currently a GSoC 2020 participant and my participation ends on 31 August. Is there some way in which we can start by 1st September and make up for the lost time by increasing the number of hours per week by the amount of time lost before that?

[misaochan]

@chirag-jn Yes, you can apply anyway and request this in the final comment section in your application. I cannot guarantee it but it is a possibility.

[chirag-jn]

Great @misaochan thanks
