Congrats to @Yash Agrawal (potential GSoC student) for his first pull request being merged in the OCIO repo.

As mentioned a good criteria for students willing to work in the OpenColorIO project is to submit a pull request. And Yash made it.
The next step is to prepare your subject, take the time to think about it and contact the community and/or mentors when needed.

For the others, keep thinking/learning about the project and a potential first work. You still have some time (but time is flying) so contact mentors if you have questions.
