I’ve written up some of the main tasks needing attention before GCI begins in a couple weeks:
http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Code_In/2016/TODO <http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Code_In/2016/TODO> Anyone care to lead any of those tasks, write your name onto the wiki entry. We have just a little under two weeks before GCI begins to get set up properly. Fortunately, we have something like 20+ mentors this year! With a little help from everyone, we should be able to get some really useful work done in a really short amount of time. We need to get started on topic brainstorming. Ideas welcome. General rule of thumb for this year is that coding tasks need to constitute about 1-2 hours of work for a core dev. Other tasks should be in the 2-4 hour ballpark (for an experienced contributor). There is a special “beginner task” category to help participants where you don’t assume anything, and the tasks help them do the non-beginner tasks (e.g., download, compile, and install BRL-CAD is a canonical beginner task). We can start the brainstorming here and then migrate priority topics into a spreadsheet. Main trust areas should align with a specific area of work as previously mentioned: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/brlcad/code/brlcad/trunk/doc/STRATEGY <http://svn.code.sf.net/p/brlcad/code/brlcad/trunk/doc/STRATEGY> Thanks Costa for OpenCL-related major tasks set (see #6 in the TODO). That’s a great idea and aligns with our STRATEGY. Cheers! Sean
