Accepted projects and next steps

[Daniel Holbach]

Hello everybody,

Google just announced the projects that were accepted. So what's next?

If your project is on the list, you're now entering the community
bonding period. This means that you're not expected to hack on the
project right now, but get to know the project and how it works. This is
how Google puts it: "Rather than jumping straight into coding, you've
got some time to learn about your organization's processes - release and
otherwise - developer interactions, codes of conduct, etc. We also
figured it would be easier to socially engage with your fellow
developers when the pressure to ship isn't looming in your vision. I
know few folks who didn't lurk in a project's IRC channel for weeks or
even months before submitting their first patch, let alone saying hello
and getting to know the other folks in the channel."
