Google Summer of Code has been announced again, and I’m all filled with nostalgia, but it’s not the only things I’m full with (). With a motive of helping GSoC aspirants, I’ll be summarising (in somewhat details), how I prepared for GSoC 2018 and successfully completed my project under CCExtractor.
