Thanks, Carlton, for the briefing! I agree it's a good idea to utilize the forum for discussions. Aside from the forum and GitHub, I'd suggest Ahmad and Kacper start a blog if you haven't already, and write about your GSoC Journey there. I'm sure folks would enjoy reading how you learn and implement stuff along the way. You can also use it as a portfolio in the future. As Carlton said, we had a lot of applications, so I think getting selected is quite an achievement. Make the most of it for your future endeavors.
You can use a static site generator like Jekyll or Hugo and use GitHub pages to get it up and running quickly. Starting a blog is just a suggestion, it's okay if you don't feel like it :) I was also a GSoC student with Django just last year so I'm still quite new to a lot of things as well, but I'll try to help the best I can. So, congrats Ahmad and Kacper, looking forward to working with you!
