Google Summer of Code
I am pleased to announce that the D Foundation has been awarded 4 slots for the 2016 Google Summer of Code. https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5078256051027968/ Congratulations to Lodovico Giaretta A replacement of std.xml for the Phobos standard library Sebastian Wilzbach Science for D - a non-uniform RNG Jeremy DeHaan Precise Garbage Collector Wojciech Szęszoł Improvements for dstep on their successful proposals. They faced very stiff competition, and unfortunately we had to turn down a number of very good proposals. Perhaps we should have been more greedy and asked for six or seven slots. I hope the community will extend a warm welcome to these students, and we welcome all of your efforts in helping these students achieve success in the coming months. Finally, thanks to all our mentors who put in hours of work in evaluating the proposals to this point.

Re: Google Summer of Code
Hi. My name is Wojciech Szęszoł, and I'm one of the students accepted for GSOC 2016. Here is my proposal https://docs.google.com/document/d/19u_4c22kRwU6S-Sh9GPeDz3VropCS562WXYHNsRejsY/edit?usp=sharing . Congratulations for other students that were accepted. And thanks for all the people that helped me to successfully apply for participation in this year GSOC. I hope I will not disappoint you.

Sebastian Wilzbach Science for D - a non-uniform RNG For obvious reasons, I'm particularly interested in this one. Do I take it right that the project will be based on this research paper? http://epub.wu.ac.at/3158/1/techreport-110.pdf I would be very happy to offer advice and support for this project, if that would be welcome. They faced very stiff competition, and unfortunately we had to turn down a number of very good proposals. Perhaps we should have been more greedy and asked for six or seven slots. Personally I'm a little sad that the flatbuffers project was rejected -- it would have made an interesting complement to the existing protocol buffers library, dproto. I hope the community will extend a warm welcome to these students, and we welcome all of your efforts in helping these students achieve success in the coming months. Finally, thanks to all our mentors who put in hours of work in evaluating the proposals to this point. This is fantastic work -- thank you everyone!

I would be very happy to offer advice and support for this project, if that would be welcome. It would not only be welcome, it would be highly appreciated! What is the easiest way to stay in touch with you? Do you want to join our libmir Gitter chat room? https://gitter.im/libmir/public

Joseph. If you are interested in becoming a mentor (ideally each project has multiple mentors) I may still be able to add you to our GSoC mentors list. Ilya (Sebastian's mentor) is the lead mentor on the project, but having a second mentor is valuable. If you are interested email me and I will see what we can do: craig dot dillabaugh at gmail dot com

Google Summer of Code 2024
Applications for GSoC 2024 opened very recently and close on February 6. All of our information is in order on their website. Before submitting, we just need to ensure that our project-ideas repository is in good shape: https://github.com/dlang/project-ideas If there are any project ideas you'd like to add, feel free to do so. Just please pay attention to the README. Also, please keep the following in mind (from the GSoC FAQ): The GSoC 2024 program has some flexibility in the schedule for projects. The length of time allowed to complete a project can range from 10 weeks to 22 weeks for medium and large projects with the standard length of 12 weeks. Small projects can range from 8 to 12 weeks. GSoC Contributors and their mentors can decide together if a project should be extended to end a couple of weeks or so later. If you're willing to be a mentor for a GSoC project, please let me know. As for SAOC, the three participants submitted their final reports before January 22nd and the judges have reached a decision. I've informed the participants of their status. I'll announce the results as soon as all three have acknowledged my email.
Google Summer of Code 2017
I've now created the Google Summer of Code Idea's page for 2017. Its empty at the moment, awaiting all your wonderful ideas: https://wiki.dlang.org/GSOC_2017_Ideas You can edit the page directly, though I may edit any submitted ideas for the sake of consistency, grammar, etc. Also, feel free to use this forum posting to start discussion on any ideas you may have for the upcoming year. I hope to be posting my wrap-up on the very successful 2016 GSoC campaign soon. I am a bit slow ... Happy Holidays to everyone. Craig
Google Summer of Code 2019
The time has come to start thinking about GSoC 2019. The application deadline for mentoring organizations is on February 6. I'd like to get a solid list of project ideas for potential student applications. I've set up a new page at the Wiki to collect ideas and seeded it with two from the GSoC 2018 page: https://wiki.dlang.org/GSOC_2019_Ideas I invite everyone to add ideas to the list. Please be as descriptive as you can in your summaries, and be explicit about the goals the project should achieve. We want projects that are both necessary and challenging. Anyone who is interested in participating as a student or a mentor, please contact me (aldac...@gmail.com). Be sure to visit the GSOC FAQ for links to details about what both roles entail: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/faq I'll be putting out more information in the coming weeks, here and on the blog.
Google Summer of Code -- An Apology
Several weeks ago, I received an email from Google informing me that the application period for the 2022 Summer of Code was approaching. I made a mental note, then went back to whatever I was in the middle of at the time without making any other kind of note. Then I completely forgot about it. The end result is that I missed the deadline for mentor organization applications. We won't be participating in GSoC this year. I apologize to everyone for dropping the ball on this, especially those of you who were looking forward to getting into it this year. I've already put a couple of reminders on my Calendar to prevent this from happening again next year.

Hi Mike, I can see from the previous GSOC entries in the wiki that there are many projects that are still interesting IMHO. Even my entry is just a rehash of the interest around calypso given that we now have dpp. Why aren't they included in the current GSOC page? Also, shouldn't students propose after the Dlang foundation gets accepted?

I don't want to blindly copy project ideas from the old pages to the new one. I don't know what information is still relevant, any new forums discussions or other links that can provide more background, etc. I encourage anyone who added ideas to the older pages to update them as needed for the new page. If we don't have a good number of ideas before I submit our application, I'll do what I need to do to flesh out the list. Also, shouldn't students propose after the Dlang foundation gets accepted? Students should submit their applications to Google at that time, yes. But the timeline for how we handle our own process is entirely up to us. Before I submit our organization application, I want to have a good idea of how many students are interested, how many mentors are interested, and have as many of them paired up as we can get. That will help us move things along more smoothly.

Google Summer of Code 2016 Ideas Page
The ideas page for the 2016 Google Summer of Code is now up: http://wiki.dlang.org/GSOC_2016_Ideas Right now it is remarkably similar to the 2015 page!

Preparing for Google Summer of Code 2021
Recently, Google put out an announcement on the GSoC mailing list about their plans for GSoC 2021. They're doing things differently this time. A big change is that the event is being cut down to 10 weeks, with 2 evaluations rather than 3. That means we will need to think of project ideas that fit into a shorter time period than in the past. Everyone, please start thinking of suitable projects and submitting your ideas to the dlang/projects repository: https://github.com/dlang/projects Mentor stipends on the new schedule are set at $400, so it's not much less than before. We encourage those of you with solid D experience, or domain experience related to any of the potential projects in the repository above, to put yourself forward as a potential mentor. They're also relaxing the eligibility requirements to allow participation from a broader range of applicants: "In 2020 there are many ways students are learning and we want to acknowledge that so we will be allowing students who are 18 years old AND currently enrolled (or accepted into) a post-secondary academic program as of May 17, 2021 or have graduated from a post-secondary academic program between December 1, 2020 and May 17, 2021 to apply to the GSoC program. What this means is that now the program will be open to folks participating in a variety of different academic programs, not just accredited university programs. This includes licensed coding camps, community colleges, and many other programs that may not be accredited yet but are post-secondary academic programs."

I've already put a couple of reminders on my Calendar to prevent this from happening again next year. Years ago I was the GSoC admin and I filled in all the forms and had everything set to go. At the submission deadline I was up rather late completing the last set of forms. I failed to notice one button on the final form of the submission that I had to click to complete the submission, and I thought everything was done. I only found out the next day that the the application hadn't been submitted. Better luck next year.
Google Summer of Code 2024 Application Submitted
I've just pressed the submit button on the GSoC 2024 application form. All we can do now is keep our fingers crossed that we're accepted this year. In the meantime, we can continue to update and refine the project ideas list: https://github.com/dlang/project-ideas So any submissions to the issues list there are welcome. I expect either Razvan or I will be updating the projects in the root directory after our monthly meeting this week.

Sadly I am not really sure what that comment was suggesting. Given there was a claim of 3x speed up there must have been code. If that code could be put forward then experiments could be run.

They're doing things differently this time. A big change is that the event is being cut down to 10 weeks, with 2 evaluations rather than 3. That means we will need to think of project ideas that fit into a shorter time period than in the past. Everyone, please start thinking of suitable projects and submitting your ideas to the dlang/projects repository: https://github.com/dlang/projects Mentor stipends on the new schedule are set at $400, so it's not much less than before. We encourage those of you with solid D experience, or domain experience related to any of the potential projects in the repository above, to put yourself forward as a potential mentor. They're also relaxing the eligibility requirements to allow participation from a broader range of applicants: "In 2020 there are many ways students are learning and we want to acknowledge that so we will be allowing students who are 18 years old AND currently enrolled (or accepted into) a post-secondary academic program as of May 17, 2021 or have graduated from a post-secondary academic program between December 1, 2020 and May 17, 2021 to apply to the GSoC program. What this means is that now the program will be open to folks participating in a variety of different academic programs, not just accredited university programs. This includes licensed coding camps, community colleges, and many other programs that may not be accredited yet but are post-secondary academic programs." I created two issues in the repository (https://github.com/dlang/projects) but I do not know, how to set the gsoc2020 label. I assume others may have edit authorizations on the repository and therefore are able to set the labels.

Google Summer of Code -- We didn't make it
Unfortunately, our application to Google Summer of Code was not accepted this year. Google has never given us a reason for rejection other than saying that there were many more applications than available slots. If you look at the list of organizations year by year, I'm sure you'll find some that are accepted more than others, but a number of them make it some years and not others. I do believe that applications that get past an initial set of criteria, the application itself ceases to be a factor. Our last acceptance to GSoC was 2019. This is our third consecutive rejection (we didn't apply last year). We'll try again next year. In the meantime, please think of potential projects we can include in our application and submit your ideas to the [project repository](https://github.com/dlang/projects). GSoC projects are allocated anywhere from 12 weeks to 22 weeks, so keep that in mind when you submit your ideas. Also note that the same projects could be taken up by Symmetry Autumn of Code participants. SAOC lasts in the neighborhood of 18 weeks.

[GSoC] Google Summer of Code 2021: Organization Applications Open
Hi everyone! It's that time of the year again. Google announced that mentoring organizations can now apply for summer of code in their blog: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2021/01/google-summer-of-code-2021-is-open-for-applications.html And in the mailing list: https://groups.google.com/g/google-summer-of-code-discuss/c/KB8efMmLfhA Application period ends on February 19. You can view the timeline here: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/how-it-works/#timeline From the official website (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com): Google Summer of Code is a global program focused on bringing more student developers into open source software development. Students work with an open source organization on a 10 week programming project during their break from school. A good application requires a well prepared ideas list as outlined in the mailing list: Having a thorough and well thought out list of Project Ideas is the most important part of your application. You can check out the mentor's guide on how to define a good ideas list: https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/defining-a-project-ideas-list If you have ideas on how to make D language and its ecosystem better or just want to browse current ones the project ideas page is on GitHub: https://github.com/dlang/projects/issues You may also want to check out ideas pages from the previous years: https://wiki.dlang.org/Category:GSOC See the previous announcement "Preparing for Google Summer of Code 2021": https://forum.dlang.org/thread/edssohgdanuojtdab...@forum.dlang.org If you are interested in mentoring, please check out the organization administrator and mentor manual for more information: http://archive.flossmanuals.net/GSoCMentoring

I've written bindings for nlopt and a wrapper to make it more D-like. Close to releasing it. I'm also thinking about doing the same thing for GLPK, but I want to do other non-D stuff before I get to that. The only optimization library I'm familiar with in Coin-OR is ipopt and that's C++, which might be more difficult to get working. Being able to call Stan from D would definitely be cool. It looks beyond my expertise to get it working though. I think part of the difficulty is that while it is written in C++, there isn't a C++ interface. I think they are working on one though. I looked at the code for rstan and the command line interface and couldn't make much headway in understanding what's going on. It should be possible to do some manipulation in D and pipe it to the command line interface of Stan. Alternately, you could try calling pystan or rstan from D. If you make any progress on these approaches, I would be interested.

R is the most popular way to use Stan I think. rstan is the
library.
I looked at rstan. I've heard of it but never used it. AFAICT,
the computationally intensive part is done by the call to stan()
from within the R code. Therefore there are no efficiency issues
with calling D -> R -> stan.
I took the easy road and ran the given R code directly. Here is
my program:
import rinsided, rdlang.r, rdlang.vector;
void main() {
evalRQ(`library(rstan)`);
evalRQ(`y <-
read.table('https://raw.github.com/wiki/stan-dev/rstan/rats.txt',
header = TRUE)`);
evalRQ(`x <- c(8, 15, 22, 29, 36)`);
evalRQ(`xbar <- mean(x)`);
evalRQ(`N <- nrow(y)`);
evalRQ(`T <- ncol(y)`);
evalRQ(`rats_fit <- stan(file =
'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stan-dev/example-models/master/bugs_examples/vol1/rats/rats.stan')`);
auto stanOutput = RVector(evalR(`attr(rats_fit,
"sim")[[1]][[1]][[1]]`));
stanOutput.print();
}
stanOutput is a D struct holding a pointer to that particular
part of the output. Without more knowledge of rats_fit, I can't
go further. You could also pass D data into R (y, x, xbar, ...)
but I didn't see a reason to do that here. Nonetheless this is
what you want, a way to call rstan from D, and then access the
results from your D program.

Nonetheless this is what you want, a way to call rstan from D, and then access the results from your D program. Very cool! I like and recommend Stan because you can fit types of models that would be very difficult to implement any other way. It was originally developed to fit hierarchical/multi-level models. You're right that the computationally intensive part is not in R. You write a .stan file that contains the model you want to fit. Calling the stan function in R compiles the .stan file to C++ and runs, then it gives you some output. rats_fit stores everything from when stan fit the rats.stan model to the data. The getting started page on github https://github.com/stan-dev/rstan/wiki/RStan-Getting-Started shows some of the key ways that you would interact with it. Print and plot. The extract function is also key. That's used to pull out the simulated values from the HMC.

I ran htod on nlopt, but because it made some use of macros, I ended up having to make a bunch of adjustments myself. Afterwards, comparing what I did with what htod did, they were actually very close. I just wasn't familiar enough with how to do the conversation to notice it until I spent a lot of time learning about making the conversations. You could also try Calypso. On that Qt MOC thread Elie Morisse complained about there not being enough testers. I'm sure creating other examples would be helpful or any other way to lend a helping hand.

Google Summer of Code and Symmetry Autumn of Code Projects and Mentors
Some of you will have already heard that we didn't make it into GSoC 2021. Every year Google receives over 500 organization applications, but they can only accept ~200. I have no insights into their decision process, but I do believe our application was stronger this year than it was when we were last accepted in 2019. Given that we've missed out on two in a row, I expect the odds will begin to favor us getting in again next year or the year after. That said, it surely won't hurt our chances to have a larger selection of projects that students can choose from. Such a pool of projects also helps us if and when we have another SAOC event. So I just want to remind everyone that the project ideas repository is there year-round. Anytime you have an idea for a D project that would benefit the ecosystem, please visit the repository and submit your idea: https://github.com/dlang/projects/issues When the time comes for GSoC or SAOC, someone will go through and tag projects that appear suitable for the event. And I should point out, for anyone looking for a way to contribute to the D ecosystem, these ideas aren't exclusively for the two events. Everyone is welcome to come along and take one of these on. Just please be sure to leave a comment on the appropriate issue that you are doing so. It will also be great to have a pool of people who are willing to work as mentors during the events. Anyone willing to mentor a specific project in the repository should leave a comment indicating their interest. And please, if you see someone else has already done so, leave a comment anyway. There's no guarantee that any given mentor will be available when the event comes around, so having some depth to the list is a good thing. If you're willing to be generally available as a mentor, please drop a line to soc...@dlang.org to let us know if you're interested in mentoring for either or both GSoC and SAOC, and (broadly) what kinds of projects you're comfortable with. These steps will help prevent us from scrounging around at the last minute for more projects and mentors. It will also allow us to better show in our GSoC applications that we have a lot we need done and that we could really use the resources the event provides. I don't know if that will increase our chances, but it surely can't hurt.
