Re: [PD] Google Summer of Code application is in!

2008-03-12 Thread marius schebella
I read that the participating organizations will be announced on monday 
14th, and the student application period is from march 24-march31.
luckily, I also found out that it is possible to participate as a 
student even if you graduate in summer (or even may...), the critical 
day is april 14, when you must be enrolled as a student.

are the suggested topics on the wiki already suggested projects, or are 
these overall topics?
I think the most important work would be documentation, but 
documentation-only work is not accepted as a code project.

I would like to step into gem development; multitextures, uv mapping, 
animated meshes, maybe skeleton animation support, pix2jitter bridge, 
opencv externals, tesselation external for polygons, probably 
implementing "point in shape" algorithm. chris or iohannes do you have 
some advice for a "beginner" project...

marius.

I could see some improvements I would love to see (like uv map support 
for .obj [model] ) , but I don't have neither the experience/reknown of 
somebody active in the community for years (although I know and use pd 
for 3/4 years now on specific projects) nor having dev. specific 
knowledge of internals pd mechanics ... (although I do have some 
experience of lead artist in dev. of other specific app. like 
http://www.woaw.biz - nothing to do with pd -  and recent support of the 
video plugin for blender...).
I cannot say "success" in any pd dev mentoring experience... and reading 
these, I don't feel confident in taking such responsability (again sorry 
for asking stupid questions).

So it's quite off the basic requirements  maybe next years if these 
ones are prolifics for me :)

thanks for all the work you do into this,
hope other developpers and students will add to these summer 
developments, I wish you all the best,

regards,

For Pure Data, the informal requirement to be a mentor is that you  
should be well known on the lists, the forums, the IRC, or some other  
Pd community.  It would good to also include people who are involved  
but not necessarily on the main English online communities.  Do you  
have an interest in being a mentor?

Here's what I wrote in the app:

The mentors were chosen because they all have been informal mentors  
within the Pd community, and have a proven record of success in that  
regard. Additionally, here are some other criteria for choosing mentors:

 * active community member for at least 2-3 years
 * strong knowledge in at least one area of Pd
 * demonstrated willingness to help others on mailing list,  
forums, IRC
 * regularly shares code and creates examples for others to learn  
from

I just submitted it with 10 mentors, we should be able to add more  
mentors if we get accepted as an organization, so it is not too late  
to join.

I think the app is looking good, fingers crossed!
