April 22, 2016 Google Summer of Code | ||||

I am pleased to announce that the D Foundation has been awarded 4 slots for the 2016 Google Summer of Code. https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5078256051027968/ Congratulations to Lodovico Giaretta A replacement of std.xml for the Phobos standard library Sebastian Wilzbach Science for D - a non-uniform RNG Jeremy DeHaan Precise Garbage Collector Wojciech Szęszoł Improvements for dstep on their successful proposals. They faced very stiff competition, and unfortunately we had to turn down a number of very good proposals. Perhaps we should have been more greedy and asked for six or seven slots. I hope the community will extend a warm welcome to these students, and we welcome all of your efforts in helping these students achieve success in the coming months. Finally, thanks to all our mentors who put in hours of work in evaluating the proposals to this point. |

To the students, please post github repos when ready! I want to keep track. |

Posted in reply to CraigDillabaugh | Hi. My name is Wojciech Szęszoł, and I'm one of the students accepted for GSOC 2016. Here is my proposal https://docs.google.com/document/d/19u_4c22kRwU6S-Sh9GPeDz3VropCS562WXYHNsRejsY/edit?usp=sharing . Congratulations for other students that were accepted. And thanks for all the people that helped me to successfully apply for participation in this year GSOC. I hope I will not disappoint you. |

Do I take it right that the project will be based on this research paper? http://epub.wu.ac.at/3158/1/techreport-110.pdf I would be very happy to offer advice and support for this project, if that would be welcome. > They faced very stiff competition, and unfortunately we had to turn down a number of very good proposals. Perhaps we should have been more greedy and asked for six or seven slots. Personally I'm a little sad that the flatbuffers project was rejected -- it would have made an interesting complement to the existing protocol buffers library, dproto. > I hope the community will extend a warm welcome to these students, and we welcome all of your efforts in helping these students achieve success in the coming months. > > Finally, thanks to all our mentors who put in hours of work in evaluating the proposals to this point. This is fantastic work -- thank you everyone! |

Yep it will be (at least according to our current plan). Sorry for the informality, Tinflex is the "reference" implementation of this method. > I would be very happy to offer advice and support for this project, if that would be welcome. It would not only be welcome, it would be highly appreciated! What is the easiest way to stay in touch with you? Do you want to join our libmir Gitter chat room? https://gitter.im/libmir/public |

If you are interested in becoming a mentor (ideally each project has multiple mentors) I may still be able to add you to our GSoC mentors list. Ilya (Sebastian's mentor) is the lead mentor on the project, but having a second mentor is valuable. If you are interested email me and I will see what we can do: craig dot dillabaugh at gmail dot com |

Hi Craig,
I'm very interested, but concerned about general ability to consistently commit time. I'll email you so that we can follow up on this.
Thanks & best wishes,
