Hello Sean, BRL-CAD community, that is very good to hear, thanks for doing the work of registering again! We have updated our Ideas-Page with the priority indication and also with a few more topics: https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code

I’ll contact you via the gsocax list (or directly) if there are any questions, but I don’t anticipate needing much for that. The biggest item needed is what you’ve already got started, which is to get the ideas page updated. Looking over your list, I would suggest 1) having at least 10 ideas, and 2) indicating what areas or projects are a priority for you this year. That is, given equivalent applications, which would be the most desirable topic. Cheers!

I hope you are positive about annother run with GSoC this year! We over at FreeCAD updated our ideas page at https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Google_Summer_of_Code[https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Google_Summer_of_Code] As there are only 2 days left for registering mentor organisations I like some feedback, as we would need at least a day to prepare a own registration if you decide to not participate as umbrella organisation.

I know there is support from at least four BRL-CAD mentors (probably more) and FreeCAD. There are incomplete actions from GSoC 2016 that need to be addressed (e.g., reimbursements and a survey), but that is on me. Is there interest from our orgs or any of our newest GCI mentors? Mentoring GSoC requires a commitment of about 5-10 hours per week (about an hour a day). A mentor must be capable of reviewing work (e.g., running code with their changes) and helping the student progress without them actually relying on you to do something with/for them (e.g., you don’t have to be able to debug their code). You cannot mentor a student that might create a conflict of interest in their evaluation. If there is enough interest, and it’s feeling like there may be already, then there is work needed to clean up our ideas page. Is anyone willing to be the person in charge of setting up the project ideas page? This is part of the org application, so it would need to happen by someone (probably not me) this week, before the org application deadline. It entails getting in touch with each partner org, ensuring their task list is adequately defined, and ensuring that there is adequate prioritized variety. I also think we need to present a more balanced and prioritized view across the partner orgs, as our wiki page is inadequate. Migrating to a different system (e.g., using a GitHub workflow on the OpenCAx account) is not out of the question unless there simply isn’t enough time. Either way, setting up the ideas page content alone will require a time commitment from someone and from each org. Thoughts, discussion? Dissent? Encouragement? :) Cheers!
