And one project was accepted under SciRuby (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5131000665341952/): Rajith Vidanaarachchi (Ruby Wrappers for SymEngine): Abinash Meher, Ondřej Čertík > > Join me in congratulating these students on their acceptance. > > In case you don't know, Google Summer of Code is a program where Google pays > students to write code for open source projects.

To add a new blog to planet.sympy.org, send a PR against this repository: https://github.com/sympy/planet-sympy Follow the instructions in the README. If something does not work, let me know. The way it works is that this repository has a source file to a docker image, that fully builds (and includes the planet software and config for all the blogs). Sumith and I are in the process of hosting this docker image, hope to get it setup in a few days. Here is the issue for it: https://github.com/sympy/planet-sympy/issues/1 In the meantime you can build the image on your computer and browse the planet sympy locally on your computer as local html pages. If anyone wants to help out get the issue #1 finished, let me know.
