About you
Education completed or in progress

I am Ruchiranga Wickramasinghe, a first year undergraduate at University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. And I am studying Computer Science and Engineering.

How did you hear about this program?

I first heard about this program through a GSoC meetup held in our university - GSoC Sri Lanka Meetup. And also through the DecadeOf GSoC program held at our University(University of Moratuwa) with the presence of 1. Mr. Chris DiBona, Director of Social Impact and Open Source - Google Inc. 2. Ms. Mary Radomile - Program Manager - Google Inc. 3. Ms. Stephanie Taylor - Program Manager - Google Inc. 4. Mr. Rohan Jayaweera, Sri Lanka Country Consultant for Google Inc.

Will you have any other time commitments, such as school work, another job, planned vacation, etc., during the duration of the program?

I will have other time commitments since we will not have any summer vacation and I will have to engage in university work.
