Hello GSoC students, I know many of you are furiously working on your proposals, but I wanted to take a second to say welcome! Please introduce yourself and your interests if you have not already. If you've gotten this far, then you've undoubtedly seen our helpful checklist: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Checklist
Thank you to those of you that have been busy chatting with us on IRC, asking questions, and posting updates here over the past week and a half. We try to answer everyone's questions as quickly as we can and will as soon as we can, but do appreciate your passion and patience. Keep asking questions and explore! Be sure to peruse some of our posted documentation, download and install BRL-CAD, and try a few tutorials: http://brlcad.org/d/download http://brlcad.org/wiki/Documentation Our instructions for obtaining BRL-CAD from our source repository is about to change today, but I'll send a word about that later. There are some instructions for using our convenient virtual machine disk image here: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Deuces#Getting_Started Finally, for those of you working on an awesome patch (which is hopefully everyone), there are a lot of really simple ones (that should take only a couple hours) here under the "Open Tasks" section: http://www.google-melange.com/gci/org/google/gci2012/brlcad Filter on the ones that say "Code". That's it for now. Again, welcome and keep the discussion flowing and explore as much as you can. It's the most important thing you can do right now. Start by introducing yourself if you haven't. :) Cheers!
