Hi students, Quick follow-up; this weekend I will set up a mailing list for GSoC 2018. Community bonding period started, please check on our existing channels!
https://www.blender.org/get-involved/developers/ Most of our contributors use IRC. New is our 'discourse' forum on devtalk.blender.org. Warmly recommended too. News: we already have one dropout... Abdulrahman Al-Sharabati (nick alekulyn, fast I/O) accepted another job last minute, too late to inform Google so we could select one of the other good I/O proposals. Google took this as feedback from us on board, in cases like this we would have really preferred to then have a backup candidate. There were 8 proposals for the IO topic, of which at least half eligible.
