The first milestone for this year's Symmetry Autumn of Code kicks off on September 15. We have three participants this year:
Teodor Dutu
Teo is a repeat offender. In SAOC 2021, he was one of two participants to be awarded the final payment and the trip to DConf '22 (the other being Luís Ferreira), where he gave an excellent talk on his SAOC project, Replacing D Runtime Hooks with Templates.
He's been making progress on it since SAOC ended, and the judges were happy to accept his proposal to continue it under SAOC 2022. This is the first time we've had someone work on the same project in two editions of SAOC. We're glad to see he's still making progress.
Razvan Nitu and Eduard Staniloiu are his mentors.
Lucian Danescu
Lucian gave his first DConf talk this year on the subject of integrating DMD as a library with D-Scanner. And that's the project that he submitted, and that the judges accepted, for SAOC.
Razvan Nitu and Eduard Staniloiu are his mentors.
Vlăduț Chicoș
Vlăduț based his proposal on an idea in our projects repository: implementing the QUIC protocol for D. The original suggestion, and hence the proposal, was to build on top of vibe.d's UDPConnection. Two of the judges suggested an independent package with no hard dependency on vibe.d would be more interesting, and Vlăduț agreed to work in that direction.
Vlăduț does not yet have a mentor, though he has ideas about whom to approach. In the meantime, if you're willing to participate as a mentor, please let me know and I'll put you on the list of people Vlăduț can contact.
Planning phase
Each participant is now in the project planning phase. This is the time when they're finalizing their milestones and task lists for the work they're going to do between September and January. We wish each of them the best of luck!
