Hey,
Google is doing summer of code again, this time we have the knowledge
and an app so that we can get chosen again. Here's the site:
Here's our app from last year:
http://puredata.info/dev/summer-of-code/
The first question to answer is: are all of the mentors from last year
still up for being a mentor this year? The mentor gets $500 per
student, perhaps being a mentor would be more enticing if the mentor
got to keep the $500. Here's the list from last year:
IOhannes? m zmoelnig umlaeute AA gmail.com
Damian Stewart damian.stewart AA gmail.com
Hans-Christoph Steiner pdgsocmentor AA gmail.com
Jamie Bullock jamie.b.bullock AA googlemail.com
ClaudiusMaximus? clodmax AA googlemail.com
Andy Farnell andyfarnell AA googlemail.com
Alexandre Castonguay anaxel.guy.de.tarascon AA gmail.com
Bryan Jurish moocow.bovine AA gmail.com
Chris McCormick? mccormix AA gmail.com
David Plans Casal davidplans AA gmail.com
B. Bogart p314159265358978 AA gmail.com
The Org app is due March 9th, so let's get cracking and make a great
application.

Hallo Hans, list !
Google is doing summer of code again, this time we have the knowledge
and an app so that we can get chosen again. Here's the site:Here's our app from last year:
Nice - I quickly looked through the old applications, which were really many ...
I think we shouldn't make that many applications this year (as google suggested to us) and try to describe the few ones much better.
The first question to answer is: are all of the mentors from last year
still up for being a mentor this year? The mentor gets $500 per
student, perhaps being a mentor would be more enticing if the mentor
got to keep the $500. Here's the list from last year:
I would be up for a mentor this year, as I am now working somehow ;)
What do you mean, how should we proceed ? Maybe we should make a new WIKI page and each mentor describes the projects he likes on the new page (and copies parts from last years projects) !
Then we could decide a few days before the deadline, which descriptions are complete enough for the proposal.
LG Georg
wow these project are really nice.
i hope deeply PdLib would make it with or without soc. imo that is soooo missing in pd-extended. i'd love to help but i don't even know how to help to get the help-files in running in pd-ext. http://puredata.info/dev/summer-of-code/PdLib/
LibPd would be also a huge addition. http://puredata.info/dev/summer-of-code/LibPd/
only negative point i have is the name: PdLib and LibPd is kind of confusing.
but as already stated, all projects are great and would be wonderful.

If you want to starting on standard libs for Pd, I say just do it.
Pick a topic and start making a library. For example, I really should
finish 'tkwidgets', which is a library that aims to directly expose
the standard Tk widgets for use in Pd. I did manage to finish 'apple'
which is a library of Apple-specific functions like accelerometer,
light level sensors, brightness controls, etc. The Thinkpad has lots
of example code for all this stuff to, so it would be great to have a
'thinkpad' library.

Hallo Hans !
Do you have or other have any comments on my last mail ? I don't want to start a new wiki page if there is no agreement about the procedure ...

I think your idea sounds good, I think you should just start the page,
and then we can fill it in as each of us finds the time.

Looking at things from a more basic level, you can come up with a more
direct solution... It may sound small in theory, but it in practice,
it can change entire economies. - Amy Smith
OK, I started the WIKI page here: http://puredata.info/dev/summer-of-code/GoogleSummerOfCodeIdeas2009
I will add some projects in the evening, which can be used as templates for other mentors ...
