Hi Tyler,
I'm going to be your main mentor, with Marcus, and Nirav being backup/co-mentors. To start preparing for your work, here's a few things you can do... - make sure you can compile pygame. - see the wiki for instructions for your platform(s) - http://pygame.org/wiki/Compilation - as pygame is multi platform, you'll have to work on multiplatforms too. - prepare a separate platform to work on if you can. Like setting up linux if you don't have it already. - not entirely necessary, but it'd make things easier for yourself. - set up your blog, which you'll be writing about your project as you go. - mark related posts with tags pygame, python, gsoc2009 - add your blog to this wiki page: - http://www.pygame.org/wiki/rsslinks - email the pygame mailing list about your blog (once you have at least one related post). - email the soc2009-general with your blog details, and ask them to list your blog on soc.python.org. - if you don't have a blog already, you can set up a free one with blogspot.com or wordpress.com. - prepare a reading list. - start looking at some related materials to read. - like for ffmpeg, read through some of the development mailing list, and development docs etc. - if you haven't used svn before much, read some of the svn book. - svn commit access. - I'll have this arranged. - first, post a patch to some small change to the mailing list, with svn diff > your-patch.diff cheers, On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 11:46 PM, Tyler Laing <trinio...@gmail.com> wrote: > I just wanted to thank everyone that worked on helping me and others with > our applications, and I also wanted to thank all the people that worked hard > on approving the applications.
