Sean (Mar 09 2022 at 15:08): Sean (Mar 09 2022 at 15:08):As announced, BRL-CAD is once again participating in the Google Summer of Code. This year, participation expands to include more than students. Now anyone that is not new to open source is eligible to participate. Please see our ideas list at https://github.com/opencax/GSoC/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22Project%3A+BRL-CAD%22+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22GSoC+2022%22+ but also know that we're open to your ideas as well. Any continuation of a past GSoC project is likely also of interest, particularly if there's a UX and/or integration focus.
starseeker (Mar 09 2022 at 17:41):@Sean Did you mean "new to open source" rather than "not new"?
Sean (Mar 09 2022 at 22:02):Yep, I meant new! Thanks for noticing.
Himanshu (Apr 04 2022 at 19:31):Application period begins :tada:
Himanshu (May 21 2022 at 11:44):Very much thanks @Daniel Rossberg and @Sean and BRL-CAD community for selecting me. I am very excited to unfold my summer into much more contribution and in learning from my mentors. I am very grateful that I am part of this community.
Sean (May 23 2022 at 18:51):@Himanshu Sekhar Nayak Thank you for all your efforts to date and your efforts on your proposal. I'm quite excited to see what you're able to achieve under GSoC!
Sean (May 23 2022 at 18:55):To anyone that didn't see the announcement, congratulation and thanks go out to everyone that applied to work with BRL-CAD under GSoC 2022! Our umbrella organization is working with 7 students in total and working specifically on BRL-CAD will be @Divyanshu Garg, @Himanshu Sekhar Nayak, and @GregoryLi. They will be working on the main website, new GUI infrastructure, and NURBS respectively.
Sean (May 24 2022 at 19:45):GSoC 2022 participants, I'll be sending an e-mail with more info, but please check out the checklist ( https://opencax.github.io/gsoc_checklist.html ) for some action items to get started and set up. You'll want to add yourself to https://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2022 and you can see previous years for examples. You're welcome to use the wiki for your dev log.
Divyanshu Garg (May 27 2022 at 20:11):So, I had a question, where can I discuss the site-related stuff (The one proposed in GSOC)?
I have made a plan which I wanted to discuss before starting working on it
Himanshu (May 30 2022 at 17:20):Screenshot-2022-05-30-225021.png Will Google in future extend timeline? @Daniel Rossberg
Himanshu (May 30 2022 at 17:22):Daniel Rossberg said:
So, you want
Final Submission End Date: Monday, November 21?
I can complete it in September but I don't want to rush. I am thinking for November. Is that okay?
Daniel Rossberg (May 30 2022 at 17:23):Select one of these: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/2022-project-dates
Daniel Rossberg (May 30 2022 at 17:24):22 Week Project is okay

:grimacing: I never saw this page. Btw we can work for 22 weeks?
Daniel Rossberg (May 30 2022 at 17:28):Reload your GSoC dashboard.
Himanshu (May 30 2022 at 17:28)::grinning:
Himanshu (May 30 2022 at 17:29):I am happy now :grinning:
Himanshu (May 30 2022 at 17:30)::sweat_smile: I am glad I will work with you.
Daniel Rossberg (May 30 2022 at 17:31):It still has a bug, the final evaluation end date should be November 28, but the save button was only available with a date before.
Himanshu (May 30 2022 at 17:33):Screenshot-2022-05-30-230217.png
Himanshu (May 30 2022 at 17:34):Now it's all good.
Daniel Rossberg (May 30 2022 at 17:43)::laughing: This explains it! Your times are Indian, mine are German (or European), but the check for the end date seams to work with US/West Coast time only?
Himanshu (May 30 2022 at 17:46):In US, it's 13.45 now and in India it's 23.16
Himanshu (May 30 2022 at 17:46):So much time gap
Himanshu (May 30 2022 at 17:48):India is 9 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Washington, DC, USA
Himanshu (May 30 2022 at 17:48)::speechless:
Daniel Rossberg (May 30 2022 at 17:51):That's a work day, and for the Google HQ it's additional 3 hours - half a day.
Sean (May 30 2022 at 17:56):4 hrs diff to the west coast. 6hrs to Hawaii.
Sean (May 30 2022 at 17:59):Not so big a problem when one works 16 hrs a day (haha… cries… j/k)
Sean (May 30 2022 at 17:59):I saw Munich was recently listed as a top ten city for best work life balance

16 hrs/day :grimacing:
Himanshu (May 30 2022 at 18:02):May be idk but someday I can meet BRL-CAD community in a physical meeting :sweat_smile:
Sean (May 30 2022 at 18:02):If you really enjoy what you’re doing, is it really work? :)
Sean (May 30 2022 at 18:03):Yeah that’s something we get to do from time to time.. but obviously not the past two years. Usually mentor summit or other conference.

@Sean I forwarded your message to our participant CRiSTiK24. He's wondering, because he got no mail from you since then. Did he miss anything?
Sean (May 31 2022 at 16:01):He's not missed anything; I'm behind on comms. It was a schedule-packed holiday weekend.
Armin (LordOfBikes) (May 31 2022 at 19:44):Thanks @Sean , no problem, he just wondered.
Himanshu (Jun 16 2022 at 20:01):@Sean Just wondering if you have sent the email ?
Himanshu (Sep 02 2022 at 21:30):Thanks so much @Daniel Rossberg @sean. I learnt a lot from debug to code areas and improved a lot. There is much more to go. Before starting again, I want to say thanks for your valuable time and helping me.
Himanshu (Dec 24 2022 at 05:38):Thanks BRL-CAD community :grinning:. Due to this I am able to crack an internship in the field of computer graphics and ML where I am going to research and build a differentiable renderer with support for camera, lights, scene geometry, and BRDFs.
