Welcome to GSSoC 2020

[vinitshahdeo]

Hello,

Thanks for showing your interest in GSSoC 2020.
Super glad to know that you're interested in contributing to Water Monitoring System project.

Feel free to ask your doubts here. Kindly note that the coding period starts from 1^st March. I recommend you to go through the open issues and have an idea prior to the event. There will be more first-timers issues opened by us soon.

Regards,
Vinit Shahdeo^{Project Admin}

[Swarnimashukla]

Hi vinit , I am a gssoc participant and interested in creating documentation for this project . I have few doubts regarding the same .

1. Do I need to use exact same template as given in sample report 1?
   2.Where can I find images related to project ?
   3.I need to work on all the parts of documentation or is there anything already completed ?

[vinitshahdeo]

@Swarnimashukla

1. Feel free to use your own template if you have a better one. Before submitting the PR, please discuss on #3

2. As of now, please create a high-level architectural diagram using Whimsical.

3. Nope - only the basic idea is documented. Find it here.

[ShauryaBhandari]

Hi!
I would like to work upon the admin dashboard and design and code the front-end for the same.
But I would need a back-end guy to link all the pages and work on the authentication so that only the admin can access it.
Please let me know if anybody would like to work upon the same with me.
Thank you.

[vinitshahdeo]

@ShauryaBhandari The UI for Admin Dashboard - #5 will have multiple UI sub-tasks as per wireframe.
Stay tuned!

[himanshusharma89]

Hello @vinitshahdeo , I would like to create a web app of the monitoring system using Flutter. Is t possible to do that?

[vinitshahdeo]

@himanshusharma89 Yeah - that's a good idea. Will definitely look into this.

[animeshsrivastava24]

Hello @vinitshahdeo
I'm a GSSOC participant. I'm happy to be a part of this community.
I've few queries:

1. Can we create a real time working model using AutoDesk simulators/Labview for live visualisation of the project and sharing?
2. I'll like to take up the documentation process, should we contribute directly to a wiki for the same or an io page for the project?
3. What will be the ideal time to open issues and submit PRs for the project?
   Eager to hear from you.

[saks1209am]

Hello @vinitshahdeo

Can we create the water monitoring system using machine learning and R. I have a dataset along with me through which we can predict the outcome using the F1 score and then deploy the model using Flutter.
I can work on think speak server as I know how to send the data to the cloud and display the data using sensors.I can help in the documentation part also as I have a template with me and will be ready to write a blog on it if u agree.

[vinitshahdeo]

@saks1209am, Can you elaborate on what kind of prediction you'll be making and how will it gonna help to achieve the goals of this Project?

• Glad to know that you're interested in the documentation part. (CC: @Swarnimashukla)

• I loved the idea of writing a blog. ❤️ We'll surely go for it.

[vinitshahdeo]

@animeshsrivastava24 Here you go:

1. Yes, we can - Once we reach some level of maturity from the development side, we'll work on the visualization

2. Documentation consists of a detailed report (.pdf) and a wiki page - soon we'll have one wiki page.

3. We'll be accepting contributions from 1^st of March.

Thanks for showing your interest.

[saks1209am]

@vinitshahdeo This is a water level monitoring system but we can integrate it with water anomaly detection to predict that water is suitable for drinking or not. It is a real world problem and it was also the problem description of gecco challenge 2019. The dataset is already provided to us which contains around 1370000 rows and 8 columns along with 6 features and 2 classes.
On the basis of dataset we can add water monitoring levels also in it.

[ramanaditya]

@saks1209am, #15 (comment)
we would be quite happy to work upon that idea, but before executing that we need to attain a Minimum viable product. Once the MVP is ready we would love to go with your idea. And of course this is not just a project you can work on this in long run too.

[falguniraina]

can anybody guide me how to get started!! I am a beginner and want to learn by contributing through this !! Also i am unable to find the readme file where i am supposed to make changes?

[vinitshahdeo]

@falguniraina I hope you're familiar with git. If not, please learn the git first and then you can check out our README.md and follow the steps to set up the repo locally. Once it's done, you can start adding code to it.

I would suggest you learn the basics of React(frontend) and Django(backend). For the documentation part, please go through the existing doc present in the repo.

Lemme know if you need any help.

[falguniraina]

ok thanks!!

[animeshsrivastava24]

@saks1209am @Swarnimashukla Hello, I am too interested in the documentation part. It'll be a great help to share our work and resources to the success of the project.

[waridrox]

Hi there, is there anything regarding html, css and js or should I learn the react framework. I am a newbie but I am familiar with git ?

[waridrox]

Hi there, is there anything regarding html, css and js or should I learn the react framework. I am a newbie but I am familiar with git ?

[vinitshahdeo]

@waridrox It'll be better if you learn React as we're migrating our existing codebase to React.

[ramanaditya]

This is a list of technologies to be used in this project if you are not familiar with them please try to learn their fundamentals. For your convenience, I have linked to their respective documents from where you can learn it better.

[saks1209am]

Hi @vinitshahdeo . As discussed earlier, me, @Swarnimashukla , @animeshsrivastava24 will be doing the documentation part. Meanwhile, I will help you in the frontend part using HTML, CSS, Javascript , bootstrap along with backend using react and a bit of node.js.

If you need someone for ESP8266 I can do that also as I had created an intrusion detection system with the help of it and Node MCU.

[vinitshahdeo]

@saks1209am Thanks for showing your interest. Looking forward to awesome contributions from you.

I guess there's a typo (backend using react) in your comment. FYI, React is used for the frontend.

[kudos-dot-com]

👋 Hi everyone, hoping that you all are good.

I have contributed to many Open Source projects as a contributor but being a mentor in an Open Source program is something different. Thus, I wrote an article sharing my mentorship experience all along the 3 months of GirlrScript Summer Of Code 2020. I have also packed a bit of advice for the participants to make contributions that really count in an Open Source project.

https://medium.com/@itispragativerma/girlscript-summer-of-code-2020-mentor-experience-28daec399b1e

Give it a read and share your valuable feedback on the same. I also see it as a small token of thanks for the 💫 Water Monitoring System family 💫. So, a big thanks to @vinitshahdeo @jainpawan21 @ramanaditya @ArpitKotecha @amaaniqbal for being supportive and ever inspiring. Moreover, I really appreciate the participants for being so enthusiastic and active throughout the program. 👏👏👏

All the best for the future 🚀. Thanks and regards to all. ❤️
