This has been my dream for the past year, I am a student(36yrs) , coming to programming after a 20year break , I was a musician for the last 6 years. I have a diploma in C from when I was 13 , other than that I'm drop out, so no Uni Degree(just a diploma in Biotech). Though I had a dream of creating an open source formally verified Linear algebra library for plan 9 , I joined the LAFF courses on edx , and though I'm early into them , I'm doing well . I don't know if I will be able to join / be accepted as a student Google’s Summer of Code program. But this would really be a dream come true!
