The current mentors are Irene Marquez, Edgar Martinez, and myself. I was in 
charge of the sage development part, and they were in charge of the theoretical 
part (since they are the experts in codiing theory, and the developpers of some 
of the algorithms to be implemented).

The condition impossed by Google was that the three mentors were replaced.

Finally Punarbasu Purkayatsha has volunteered and Burcin Erocal considered 
that he is the appropriate person to take care of the mentorship from now 
on.

I just received a notification from te GSoC staff. Veronica received a negative 
evaluation (against my opinion), and she asked for an independent review. As 
result of this review, her negative evaluation was reversed, on the condition 
that a new mentor is assigned to her. So we need a volunteer. It should be 
somebody that has experience with both sage development, and coding theory.

So, somebody wants to step up?

2013-08-07 Thread Volker Braun
There are currently three mentors listed at 
http://wiki.lmona.de/get_involved/projects, are we just talking about 
replacing one? Or all? IMHO there needs to be at least one person familar 
with Sage on the project since she isn't that familiar with the process.

Also, I think we should really move this thread to the private 
sage-gsoc-mentors google groups. In particular, the current mentors should 
explain their rationale there.

Hi Veronica,

This seems really interesting. How is progress on your project?

I work in algebraic coding theory myself, and I have been writing lots of 
Sage code for this. Most of it is generally useful, but I have not had time 
to add it to Sage proper, since that would require restructuring a lot of 
Sage's current error correcting code functionality (where a code is just a 
generator matrix and all known structure is thrown away).
My library is released as GPL and is available at
www.jsrn.dk/codinglib

Most functionality is related to algebraic codes such as Reed--Solomon 
codes and Goppa codes, as well as algebraic decoders for these. If any of 
it is useful for your project, then don't hesitate to use it. I have also 
been thinking how error correcting codes could be better represented in 
Sage, and if you have such concerns with your project, I would gladly join 
discussions.

Best,
Johan S. R. Nielsen

 You can check the full proposal in this link Project

 This blog will be updated with any progress about the project.
 I'll be glad to hear any comment or suggestion from you. So please, just

 Also, it is very likely I'll be attending the next Sage Day in Seattle. 
 Which I consider a good start for this project.
 Hope to meet some of you there!

 Cheers,

Hi Johan,

  If you have suggestions how to improve the coding theory functions in 
Sage, please open some tickets! Some of us have been adding some 
functionality and fixing bugs (over the past year) in sage.coding. More 
improvements are definitely welcome!

Thank's for your interest!...

So far I have been working only with binary linear codes.
You can see the progress in this ticket : 
http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/14973 and also some reports in this blog: 
http://broniks.blogspot.mx/
I already  have  some interesting results(last part of the ticket), about 
time, for a new decoding algorithm GDDA.
Please feel free to give any comment or suggestion. I'll appreciate your 
help.

Unfortunately the organization, through which I was working, has considered 
the work is not worthy. So officially the project is not anymore of GSoC.
Anyway I'll  keep working on it, maybe a little bit slower but I'll be 
updating the work in the ticket I mentioned above.
