Hello,
It was great news to hear that I was selected. Even though last year I was not selected (I applied for 3 orgs, none of which was ArgoUML), I kept on going and hoped for the best this year. I also changed the strategy: I've presented my project to the community and I've started working on some issues. This allowed me to get to know the community better, to see if it was suitable for me and to get a taste of how it feels working with the community. It felt great and I believe that it will last through the summer.

My proposal, about "Usability issues of diagrams", can be found here: http://fex.insa-lyon.fr/get?k=dPJ0J0podojJMgQQXBx
You can find detailed information about me and about the project.

I would like to thank Bob and the others for the feedback and remarks that helped improve my application and Michiel for the help with the Issues and the Patches.

Cheers,
Bogdan, hoping to make this summer as exciting as possible

Hello,

I will be the student working on improving and enhancing ArgoUML/ArgoEclipse integration this summer.

Between now and the official start date I'll be working with my mentor and other members of the community to better scope and refine a project plan for the summer, but in general it will follow this general outline:
- Improve existing functionality
    - Improved Swing/SWT integration
    - Fix existing bugs
    - Upgrade to latest eclipse?
- Tighter ArgoUML/Eclipse integration (menus, toolbars, preference pages etc)
- Integrate missing features
- Bug fixes, code clean up, documentation, etc

I will be going through and adding tickets to the ArgoEclipse issue tracker over the next few weeks and encourage you guys to do so as well if there is a bug that has been nagging you or a feature you'd really like to see.

For those who are interested a copy of my proposal can be obtained at: http://www.hudsonb.com/GSoC/08/argoeclipse_proposal_v2.pdf

Thanks again, I look forward to working with you all this summer!

Brian

    Hi all

    I'd like to echo Tom and Linus comments about the students we lost
    this year. We requested a certain allocation of students from Google
    but Google restricted those numbers below our requested limited. This
    is a very popular program and unfortunately even Google have some
    limit to their funding.

    For those of you having joined the program this year perhaps you could
    introduce yourselves here on the dev list with a short summary of the
    work you intend to do. There will be those watching the list who will
    not have access to your proposals and may well be curious.

    We'd like to encourage you to communicate and seek help and assistance
    using the dev list. Open source development is a community process and
    it's important for the community to be able to give their own input
    and guidance to your work as well as your mentor.

    Welcome on board and good luck with all your projects.

    Regards

    Bob.
