Sean (Jan 23 2018 at 00:21): Sean (Jan 23 2018 at 00:21):How do folks feel about GSoC? The application is ready if we're in. I'd want to keep it super lean. Maybe 2-3 students, to focus on just a couple topics with the best candidates.
Daniel Rossberg (Jan 23 2018 at 08:21):OK, I would join in.
Sean (Jan 23 2018 at 08:22):Cool, I'd really like to promote the Qt work
Daniel Rossberg (Jan 23 2018 at 08:25):I expect that "Qt" attracts some students because it sounds easy.
Sean (Jan 23 2018 at 08:26):quite likely, good point
Sean (Jan 23 2018 at 08:26):we can set some application acceptance criteria
Sean (Jan 23 2018 at 08:27):like the first 3 gci tasks.. :)
Daniel Rossberg (Jan 23 2018 at 08:30):It's important that they are able and willing to understand BRL-CAD. How it works, interfaces, why it is how it is.
Daniel Rossberg (Jan 23 2018 at 08:32):Some could try to build a Qt program and ignore BRL-CAD meanwhile. It's easy to work 3 months with Qt only.
Sean (Jan 23 2018 at 08:32):I was (a little) surprised how effective the tutorials were getting people up-to-speed on the vocabulary and workings
Sean (Jan 23 2018 at 08:32):I could definitely tell the difference with the dozen or so tasks I came across where they clearly hadn't done them yet
Sean (Jan 23 2018 at 09:49):@Daniel Rossberg sign-up invite sent
Sean (Jan 23 2018 at 09:50):@LordOfBikes the application is in
Daniel Rossberg (Jan 23 2018 at 09:52):@Daniel Rossberg sign-up invite sent
Already accepted and signed in.
Sean (Jan 23 2018 at 09:53):aha, now it shows
Sean (Jan 23 2018 at 09:53):it still showed as invited, but just updated
Armin (LordOfBikes) (Jan 23 2018 at 11:02):Thanks @Sean, I asked Florian, our last 2 years student, he will join as mentor too. So we can contribute some LibreCAD 3 ideas and I think we can handle 1 slot if available.
Sean (Jan 30 2018 at 02:35):sounds good @LordOfBikes let me know what you think about priorities (if it's librecad 3 and if it is, what more specifically that might mean)
Shubham (Jan 13 2019 at 19:54):Guys, I am very new to open source. I am participating in Gsoc 2019. How do I get started?

Hi @Shubham -- you get started by talking and (more importantly) doing something. :-)
If you've looked over the project ideas, you're welcome to post your thoughts on them or more details about your experience in #Google Summer of Code or #new members
