A season with D: Symmetry Autumn of Code Report

Abstract: 

Symmetry Autumn of Code has been a great opportunity for a few motivated developers to challenge their abilities and boost their involvement in the DLang Community while contributing to the D ecosystem. This report is going to describe my experience as a participant, focusing on the benefits that SAoC brought to me and the community and what future projects could learn from it.
