[Haskell-cafe] Google SoC: Space profiling reloaded
Hello all, I'm one of the lucky individuals accepted for this year's Summer of Code. Here's the abstract of my proposal: http://socghop.appspot.com/student_project/show/google/gsoc2009/haskell/t124022468245 There's less than a month left before I'm supposed to jump into coding, and I'd love to hear about any little idea you think would make this project even better! I created a project page with a rough draft of what I intend to concentrate on, but the issue tracker is obviously begging for content, so feel encouraged to populate it. :) http://code.google.com/p/hp2any/ I also intend to expand the description later.

Shortening the song and dance needed to get profiles would be nice (eliminating the PS viewer dependency in the process). So would not having to select profile type in advance (and not having to repeat the profile runs again and again, with only one view each time). I assume you're only going to look into visualization, not semantics?-) http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2008-October/045981.html Also, there is a lot of space profiling support, but I'd sometimes like more detailed time profiling (not just end-of-run summaries, but time sliced profiling - in this time slice, most of the time was spent in x, in the next time slice, most of the time was spent in y, these functions are frequented in the beginning, but are not used towards the end, etc). Perhaps the recent support for code coverage could be bent to support something like this without too much hacking? Keep us informed!

[Haskell-cafe] Google SoC - student allocations
Although there is still about one hour before Google officially publish
the final tally of accepted Summer of Code projects, I think I now can
safely reveal the 9 projects chosen for haskell.org, since we have no
outstanding conflicts with other mentoring orgs.
We received 64 proposals in total. Some students made several
proposals. Of those proposals, we wanted to mentor about 22 individual
students, but Google only gave us funding for 9, so if you weren't
accepted, that doesn't mean your proposal was bad, just that the
competition was stiff. Also, the mentors group tended to place
language- and community-infrastructure projects at a higher priority
than just plain application-oriented libraries.
(By the way, several students who applied to haskell.org also applied to
other organisations, and may well have been accepted by them instead of
us.)
So here they are! The list states
* project title,
* the student who will be funded,
* the primary mentor from haskell.org,
* and a set of backup mentors who have expressed interest in looking
after things too. (These sets may continue to grow.)

Congratulations if you got accepted. Commiserations if you didn't. The
official start date of the SoC (when students begin to receive their
initial payments) is 28th May. Until then, the students have courses
and exams (no doubt), but also (we hope) some time to familiarise
themselves with the existing codebase and background of their project.
Regards,
Malcolm

[Haskell-cafe] Google SoC
http://code.google.com/soc/ This is not news. SoC was presented a few days ago, and by now there are a lot of projects available, yet none(?) Haskell related :( This is a plea for Haskell FOSS project managers to apply as mentor organizations, so that we students can have a choice. Surely there are a lot of contributions that can be tackled by a motivated student in three months time. GHC related stuff, work in Visual Haskell, tasks in a given Haskell framework, Darcs stuff, you name it. Deadline for mentor organizations is May 1, but they might close it earlier if they get their hands full. pep ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
