Phases

The entire 3-month program was divided into 3 phases each shaping and upskilling various skill sets of the contributors.

Whitepaper Phase

Before the contributors could even write a piece of code, this preparatory phase laid the groundwork for the Timechain Summer of Code 2023, focusing on comprehensive whitepaper development. A comprehensive whitepaper document detailing the problem statement, its nuances, and potential solutions was created for each project.

Design phase

During the design phase, contributors utilized tools like Miro, ApiDog, dbdiagram, and Figma to provide a tangible representation of what the final product may look like. For each project, the contributors created the following:
1. A system architecture diagram
2. API Design Specification
3. Database Schema Design for optimal data management
4. Low-Fidelity Wireframes

Development phase

Finally contributors produced weekly progress reports outlining challenges faced and upcoming plans for their projects. Code review reports were generated, identifying areas for improvement, and highlighting potential bugs.In the later stages, contributors focused on integration, testing, and bug fixing, delivering an integrated projectversion and a final, optimized version by the specified deadline of August 15, 2023.

Standup Success:
TSoC 2023 Highlights

With regular mentor guidance sessions the projects at TSoC 2023 witnessed weekly standup meets where the contributors were invited on a Google Meet by their respective Program Managers.

Misba Bagban, Project Lead at Devboard says, “Being new to web development, TSoC marked my first experience in team-oriented work. During daily standup meetings the entire team shared work updates and progress.”
