From terri at toybox.ca Tue Mar 3 08:27:14 2015 From: terri at toybox.ca (Terri Oda) Date: Mon, 02 Mar 2015 23:27:14 -0800 Subject: [Soc2015-general] And we're off! Message-ID: <54F56252.1070904@toybox.ca> We got word from Google that Python is an official gsoc mentoring organization again for 2015! We're expecting an influx of new sub-orgs now that the official list is out, so expect a few new names to show up on our wiki page: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2015 New sub orgs have until March 16 to contact us, but I expect the bulk of them will be listed by this weekend. Right now, students should be getting to know the sub-orgs they'd like to work with, and working on their first patch. You need to submit a code sample for your application with Python, and it certainly is more impressive if you can show off code for your project!

I like the idea Number 4 of dipy named "Offline quality assurance (QA) using a publicly available dataset". At the moment i'm reading "Dipy, a library for the analysis of diffusion MRI data " [1] and taking notes. I have previous experience in manipulating images and applying affine transformations in order to register them as part of an application of a concurrent genetic algorithm developed by myself. I have several doubts though as this is my first GSoC year. - Is this idea supposed to be a showcase of dipy features accompanied by times of execution? - Offline means assuming the whole dataset is already downloaded and accessible locally? - Can you recommend me texts you think I should read before starting my prototype? Thanks in advance, Guido Rumi [1] - http://www.researchgate.net/publication/262046848_Dipy_a_library_for_the_analysis_of_diffusion_MRI_data -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is definitely part of the GSoC under the PSF umbrella.ose We did not plan to include any deep learning algorithms, as work on these is mostly finished (but not all are included yet).

This sometimes means your ideas will need to be modified or adapted. You should talk to the mentors to see if they're interested before spending time writing up a full application. Please note that "fitting the needs of the organization" is the important thing here. Sometimes students come up with great ideas that are a perfect fit, but sometimes your vision for a neat idea isn't going to match up with where the organization needs to allocate its resources, and you'll be hurting your chances of acceptance if you keep pushing for something the project doesn't want. If you can't find a way to make your idea fit the needs of the project, you should propose another idea or work on one that they've already determined meets their needs.

Python is an umbrella organization, so you'll need to figure out how this project fits with one of the sub-orgs under our umbrella and then find a mentor who'd like to work with you on this. The list of sub-orgs is here: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2015#Python_Project_Ideas Unfortunately, I'm not sure which of them might be interested in such a project, since we don't have any music-oriented sub-orgs this year. You may have your work cut out for you, but remember, you stand no chance of acceptance unless you have a mentor willing to take you on, so finding somone is very important. If you can't find someone, you may have to look at other project ideas. Good luck!

There are lots of projects where code will be written in Python! You can see the ones under the Python Software Foundation umbrella on our page: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2015 And there are actually even more available if you look through melange, as we are hardly the only ones using the language. It's a bit hard for us to suggest project ideas for you without knowing what you'd like to do (and frankly, many mentors are much too swamped with questions to help you walk through it in detail, so you'll have to make some decisions yourself!), so what I'd suggest is that you start by narrowing down your focus to one or two sub-orgs, then talk to their mentors directly about which projects suit you. You might want to try reading this page: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/FrequentlyAskedQuestions which includes some advice on how to choose a sub-org here: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#How_do_I_choose_a_project_or_a_sub-org.3F Good luck!

The Italian Mars Society (IMS) is a non-profit organization, existing from 2004, as Italian branch of the International Mars Society, created in the USA by Robert Zubrin. IMS is a member of the Mars Society European network. The foundation scope of the Italian Mars Society is to promote research projects devoted to Mars Exploration and the involvement of small and large enterprises in the new economy related to space exploration. IMS is currently spearheading the European MaRs Analog Station for Advanced Technologies Integration (ERAS ) project. ERAS? main goal is to provide an effective test bed for field operation studies in preparation for human missions to Mars. We are currently working on an immersive Virtual Reality simulation of the ERAS Station (V-ERAS) based on the Oculus Rift VR headset. The major advantage of such virtualization is that it will be possible to undertake training sessions with a crew that can interact with its future environment before the actual station is built. In parallel to this VR effort we are engaged on robotic projects. We intend to use Virtual/Augmented reality to progress on the field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) that will be a key element for planetary exploration. A relevant part of the software supporting V-ERAS has been developed by students during summer of code events. We have participated to GSoC on 2013 and 2014 and we are participating this year under PSF umbrella. We have applied and we have been selected for this year also for***SoCiS:* The ?ESA Summer of Code in Space ?, a GSoC-inspired, yet different event sponsored by the European Space Agency. ERAS software is heavily Python-based. The current ERAS code base is almost entirely in Python and we make use of existing Python bindings such as PyTango , Blender/Python API , rospy or we developed our own (see pyEUROPA ). If you are a student interested in contributing code to the ERAS project you should start by visiting our GSoC and SoCiS project ideas pages witch contains a list of suggested projects: * SoCiS Project Ideas page * GSoC Project Ideas page You may decide to work on these ideas or use them as a starting point for your own. Either way, come talk to us on the erasproject at googlegroups.com mailing list and on our IRC channel #IMS on Freenode. Thanks a lot for your attention.

An RSS feed is a structured way to publish information that will be updated on a somewhat frequent basis. You can read more about the protocol here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS The reason we ask for this is so that all of the blogs from student contributors can be aggregated into a format that is easier for mentors and interested community members to read, rather than expecting people to click through 40+ individual blogs in order to stay up to date on GSoC happenings. So it is very important that you provide the blog data in this format. Github.io doesn't seem to have RSS feeds by default since it's not exactly a blogging platform, so if you're planning to use it for blogging, you'll have either generate the xml feed required manually (not recommended, because inevitably you forget halfway through the year and get in trouble for not updating in time), or find a tool to do so (I believe there are some for github.io as students have used it successfully in previous years, but I'm afraid I don't know what those tools might be called so you will need to do some research). Equally, rather than spending time futzing with your own feed generation, you might want to consider using a blogging platform that already supports RSS feeds by default, such as blogger, wordpress or dreamwidth.

You cannot apply to GSoC by posting to this list. Please read https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2015 to get a better sense of how the process works, but in short: 1. You need to find your mentors by choosing a sub-org within python and interacting with the potential mentors there in the way that they've asked to be contacted (usually a mailing list or IRC). 2. You need to work with those mentors to complete an application in the google-melange system, here: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2015 WE CANNOT ACCEPT ANY STUDENT WHO DOES NOT SUBMIT AN APPLICATION VIA MELANGE BEFORE MARCH 27, 2015 1900UTC. This is Google's rule and there will be no exceptions to it. 3. The basic template for your application can be found here: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/ApplicationTemplate2015 Please note that part of the Python application process is that you must produce some code for the sub-org with whom you wish to work, so you most definitely must find a sub-org and work with them to produce an appropriate patch if you wish to be accepted to GSoC this year. Terri PS - A tip: sending .docx attachments, unless specifically requested, is often perceived as rude by folk in open source communities. Something to remember if you're hoping to make good impressions! From terri at toybox.ca Sat Mar 21 04:53:37 2015 From: terri at toybox.ca (Terri Oda) Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2015 20:53:37 -0700 Subject: [Soc2015-general] regarding Gsoc 2015 proposal In-Reply-To: References: <550CD737.2010400@toybox.ca> Message-ID: <550CEB41.2070307@toybox.ca> So, first you should choose a sub-org, because that will determine where you find your mentors. There's a list of Python sub-orgs here: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2015#Python_Project_Ideas And if you're having trouble choosing, you might want to read this: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#How_do_I_choose_a_project_or_a_sub-org.3F Each of those sub-orgs has an ideas pages and links that should indicate how their mentors like to be contacted. Often it's a public mailing list, and often they prefer it if you have a specific project in mind (chosen from their ideas pages) so you can ask more specific questions. For example, Astropy gives a pretty comprehensive list of how they'd like you to submit an application : https://github.com/astropy/astropy/wiki/GSoC-2015-Guidelines (it's worth reading no matter which sub-org you're applying with!) There's two things worth remembering here if you want to maximize your chances of being accepted: 1. Many of the best GSoC applicants are ones who demonstrate an ability to do some research and make decisions on their own, so do your best to show you're capable of doing! (Narrowing down the list of potential projects on your own is a good way to show you can do this!) 2. Another core skill for GSoC applicants is an ability to communicate with their mentors, particularly if they get stuck or if a decision they're going to make will impact others in the community. So before you submit an application, do make sure to ask some questions and make sure you listen to the answers and adjust your proposal based on suggestions from the community! (For example: "I'm thinking of solving this problem in this way... would that work for those of you who intend to use this feature?") Good luck!

I've had a few questions about the patch requirement on IRC, so I thought I'd talk a bit about it here for anyone who's wondering but hasn't been sitting on the IRC channel. First, here's a link to our application template for this year: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/ApplicationTemplate2015 The patch requirement is under "Project Proposal Information": """ Link to a patch/code sample, preferably one you have submitted to your sub-org (required) Note: Python requires all students to submit a patch. This does not need to be accepted and merged into your project, but it does need to be online and available for potential mentors to inspect. It should be a patch for the sub-org with whom you will be working if accepted for GSoC, unless your mentors specifically indicate to you that another code sample would be acceptable. Contact your mentors if you are unsure what would be an appropriate patch to submit. """ The idea behind this requirement is that we want you to demonstrate that you've been able to work with the source code of your sub-org. Some potential patch ideas: - fix an easy bug - fix some typographical errors (e.g. in the user interface) - add a small test case for something not currently tested - choose a large file or small subdirectory and do coding style checks (For example, you could use the PEP8 checker for projects following the Python Style Guide), then fix any issues found The code you submit needs to be available to all mentors who will evaluate your application, so typically you should put it up somewhere public and provide a link. (e.g. gitlab, github or launchpad would be good places.) In general, closed-source and license-restricted code is not acceptable, as many mentors may have job restrictions that do not allow them to look at this type of code. Usually code from old assignments or previous jobs will not be acceptable either, unless they involved open source contributions to your chosen sub-org. The people who get the final call on what code samples are acceptable are your mentors, so if you have any questions or doubts about the code you're submitting, contact them and ask!

All applications have to go through the google melange system: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2015 Our application template is here, and I highly recommend you read through it first to see what you need to do: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/ApplicationTemplate2015 More information is on our wiki here: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2015 But the short answer is: 1. Choose a sub-org 2. Talk to them about what they expect of student applicants (and do what they ask!) 3. Prepare a patch for that sub-org 4. Write your application (with help from your mentors!) 5.

There's over 20 sub-org under the Python banner, so you might want to start by narrowing your search down to find a sub-org that interests you, then look for bugs in a specific sub-org queue.

'''Set up your own development environment.''' 4. '''Find some beginner-friendly bugs and try to fix them.''' Many projects have these tagged as "easy" "bite-size" or "beginner-friendly" * Note that if you apply as a student with the PSF you will be asked to submit a code sample, generally code related to your project. A few fixed bugs with code accepted upstream will make your application look great! * Having trouble figuring out which bugs are beginner-friendly? Send an email to the project mailing list saying something like "Hi, I'm a student developer interested in getting some open source experience and I was wondering if anyone could suggest some bugs that are suitable for a beginner in this project?" * Some projects have beginner-friendly "bite-sized" bugs listed in the OpenHatch search engine, found here: http://openhatch.org/search/ 5. '''Find bugs and report them.''' Hopefully you won't encounter too many, but it's always a good idea to get familiar with your project's bug reporting process. 6. '''Help with documentation.''' As a beginner in your project, you're going to see things that are confusing that more experienced developers may not notice. Take advantage of your beginner mindset and make sure to document anything you think is missing! 7. '''Help others.''' This is a great idea for a lot of reasons: explaining things can help you learn them better, demonstrating your skills as a good community member can make you more memorable when your mentors have to choose candidates, and being helpful makes your community a better place! = How do I choose a project or a sub-org? = Choosing a project is a pretty personal choice. You should choose something ''you'' want to work on, and none of us can tell you exactly what that would be! But here's a few questions you might want to ask yourself to help figure that out: * '''What software do you already use?''' If you use the software, you know a lot more about it and probably have stronger opinions about what would make it better! * '''What would you like to learn?''' GSoC is meant to be a bit of a learning opportunity. Have you always wanted to be more involved with biology? Astronomy? Mathematics? Education? See which projects might help you improve your skills. * '''Who do you like working with?''' Hang out where the developers do and get to know some of your potential mentors. Which developers inspire you? * '''How do you want to change the world?''' Do you want to help people learn more? Communicate better? Understand our world better? Lots of python projects can help you do social good! * '''How do you like to communicate?''' Do you like realtime communication on IRC? Perhaps you should choose a project with mentors close to you in time zone. Do you like asynchronous communication on mailing lists? Find a group with active lists. Communication is a big part of summer of code (or really any open source development in a team) to finding a team that works the way you want to work can make your summer more awesome. There's a list of sub-orgs for this year and for previous years linked from SummerOfCode. Be aware that all sub orgs might not be able to participate every year, and make sure to check and see if they're planning to participate before assuming. If you're chosen as a GSoC student, you're going to be expected to make at least a few decisions on your own, so you can make a better first impression on mentors by showing that you're able to narrow down your field of choices! = What does "don't ask to ask" mean? = You'll hear this phrase sometimes on IRC, and it means "please just ask your question, don't say something like 'can I ask a question?' first." Why? Developers are often pretty busy, and if you just ask the question, someone can jump in the minute they see your message with the answer or direct you to folk who can answer it better. If you ask "can I ask a question?" you're basically just waiting for someone to say "yes" before any useful information is communicated. Many folk consider this slow, annoying, and perhaps even rude. Save everyone (including yourself!) some time and just ask the question right from the start. Culturally speaking, in open source projects it's generally ok launch right in to a question on IRC; you don't even have to say hi first! = What should I do if no one answers my question? = 1. '''Be patient'''. If you're on IRC, stick around for an hour or so (you can do something else, just leave the IRC window open and check back occasionally) and see if someone gets back to you. If they don't, try posting to the mailing list (it's possible all the developers are asleep!) If you're on a mailing list, you should give people around 24-48h to answer before worrying too much about it. 2. '''Make sure you're asking in the best place.''' One common mistake students make is to contact individual developers rather than asking on a public mailing list or a public IRC channel. You want as many people as possible to see your questions, so try not to be shy! (and don't worry about looking too much like a newbie -- all of us were new once!) Sometimes projects have different lists/irc channels/forums/bug queues for different types of questions. If you're not sure, do feel free to follow up your question with something like "hey, I haven't gotten an answer on this... is there somewhere better I could post it or more information you need to help?" 3. '''Try giving more information.''' If you've hit a bug, try to give the error message and information about your setup and information about what you've already tried. If you're trying to find a bit of documentation, indicate where you've already looked. And again "hey, I haven't got an answer... what other information could I provide to help debug this problem?" is a reasonable follow-up if you're not sure what people might need. 4. '''If you're really having trouble getting in touch with your mentors, talk to the Python org admins by emailing soc2015-general-owner at python.org''' The Python org admins should have contact info for mentors with each project and can help connect you. (Note: please don't complain that you can't get in touch with us on the general google lists or #gsoc. They're just going to redirect you to TerriOda anyhow!) = How should I address my emails (or Why shouldn't I start my emails with "Dear Sir")? = If you want to make the best first impression, DO NOT start emails with "Dear Sir." Python has many mentors who are female and/or prefer other forms of address. We realize you're trying to be polite, but "Dear Sir" is often perceived in our communities as alienating, rude or simply too formal and off-putting. Try "Dear developers" or "Dear mentors" if you're sending a general email. If you're addressing a specific person, use the name or nickname that they use on their emails. Culturally speaking, first names or chosen nicknames are fine for most open source projects. = Why does Meflin always say no? = He?s just like that! It's actually an incredibly important job: his job is to say no when things aren?t ready, so we can go back and make things more awesome. It's also his job to make sure that Terri's workload is reasonable, and that means saying NO pretty frequently. All those no?s make it possible to run this program every year! = What do I need to know to participate in Summer of Code with Python? = The answer to this depends a ``lot`` on the project you choose. We have a range of projects, from beginner to advanced. Each of the sub orgs expects different things from their students: maybe you'll need to know a bit about machine learning, or email, or image processing. The answer to this question is always '''ask your mentors what you will need to know for a specific project'''. But a lot of people ask early on because they want to be sort of generically ready but they're not sure what they want to do yet, so that's not always super helpful. So here's a list of a few things that are useful for most Python umbrella projects: * '''You need to have a bit of experience with Python.''' You can be a beginner, but practicing in advance is good! And there are a lot more projects available for students who are reasonably used to the language, so more practice means you'll have more project options. * '''You need to feel comfortable asking questions''', because we're going to expect you to ask if you don't understand something. * '''You should be comfortable communicating your ideas to others in public.''' Most projects have public mailing lists and would prefer if you use them, and Python students will also be asked to blog about their work over the summer. * '''You probably want some experience with version control.''' We have a lot of projects that use different tools, such as git, mercurial, or bzr, and you can find out which one your project uses in advance and practice using it on your schoolwork or personal projects to get used to it. * '''You might like to take a bit of time to read [[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/|the python style guide, PEP8]].''' Not every project uses these rules, but they can give you a rough idea of what is considered "readable code" by most pythonistas. (And for fun, you might want to read the poetry of [[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/|PEP20 "The Zen of Python"]]) = How many slots does python get? How many does project $x get? = We don't know our slot allocation until Google announces them, and google bases their numbers on the number of students we tell them we want. The more great applications we have, the more slots we'll request. So rather than worrying about the number of slots, you should be aiming to be such a memorable and great prospective student that your sub-org will definitely request a slot with you in mind. For sub-orgs, new groups working with us usually get 1-2 slots, experienced sub-orgs may be granted as many as they can comfortably mentor at the discretion of the org admins. Google has been incredibly generous with letting us have slots in previous years, so we are usually more limited by the matching of mentors with truly excellent students.

I read the GSoC 2015 FAQ . It says that > For F-1 students applying for CPT , Google will furnish you with a letter you can provide to your university to get CPT established once your proposal to the program has been accepted. In Accepted Student Information , the letter to my school for establishing CPT will say > [Your Full Legal Name as It Appears on Your Student ID] will work as a Student Developer beginning 27 April, 2015 and ending on 21 August, 2015. He/She will receive a stipend of $5500 for the completion of the project. First, I am still not sure I MUST to apply for CPT if I am going to work during the GSoC program period. I am still talking to the academic advisor about CPT issue. Assuming I am accepted by GSoC and required to apply for CPT. My school requires CPT start from May, 11, and end on July 31, 2015. I cannot work other than this time period. However, GSoC starts from April 27 to August 21. It is impossible to let school change the time of CPT, since CPT is also a school course scheduled for all students registered in summer semester. Somebody already asked the same question I would like to ask in the GSoC Google Group. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-summer-of-code-discuss/6ouWf7kbJ9k Carol says > That's up to your mentoring organization, please speak to them directly about what they want the coding period to be (assuming it still falls within the program boundaries). > I'm sure PSF would be happy to help you with that, please reach out to them however you normally communicate with them. Therefore, I am asking is there any possibility that PSF GSoC and the sub-organization can change the coding period to May 11 - July 31, 2015? The coding period is from May 25 to Aug 24, 2015, but the letter from Google GSoC to my school the date of GSoC is from April 27 to Aug 21, I think, if the date changing is doable, we need to let Google GSoC change that date on the letter accordingly. If it is not allowed, I will go back my own country and participate GSoC. Thank you very much! Wei Xue -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
