Hello Sean
I did send my field of interest which I am yet to get a reply, however I will
mention it again.
I am hoping to work on the GPU Pipeline for Ray Tracing using OpenCL. I am
currently looking at the APIs and studying on the appropriate models that I can
follow.
Please be kind enough to give some feedback about my topic
Thank You and RegardsHasala Perera

To all our new contributors recently joining our mailing list, hello!
I know many of you have not yet introduced yourselves. If you’re here to get
involved in development, please say hello, feel free to share any background
details about yourself, talk about what project ideas are of interest to you,
mention what steps you taken to become familiarized with BRL-CAD, etc. For
GSoC students, there’s a nice checklist [1] that you can use. Remember to also
consider working with one of the four orgs included under our umbrella as they
will all be taking on students excited to work with them.
We appreciate folks that take the initiative to do their homework instead of
asking for someone to hold their hand. Download the code, compile, ask smart
questions, work on a patch.
When you submit changes, make sure you submit them in patch file format [2],
not just provide your version of a file or snippets of code. Otherwise, it’s
very difficult and time consuming to figure out what you changed. This is not
a homework assignment. ;) Patches (which even underpin pull requests) are the
common way to exchange and discuss code changes with pretty much every open
source community.
If you find an area of BRL-CAD, OpenSCAD, LibreCAD, STEPcode, or LinuxCNC that
you think you can help make better, please do talk about your ideas. The more
you talk, the better. If this were a college homework assignment, think of
your ability to communicate well as being worth half your grade! The other
half is how productive you can be without unnecessarily consuming the time of
others. ;) So don’t wait, introduce yourself and get started talking about
your ideas for a project. I look forward to hearing from each of you!
Cheers!
Sean
