Google has announced the projects accepted for Summer for Code 2010! The results* are in, and this year the Mono project has been awarded 10 slots. We had many good applications and a limited number of slots, and unfortunately had to make some hard decisions - we had many more proposals worthy of support, and there was a lot of fighting** between the Mono devs to narrow down the list. Congratulations to the students who were accepted to work with the Mono Project!
If you weren't accepted, we still would like you to join our community. We're always happy to provide guidance and support to anyone who'd like to contribute, not just GSoC students. This year, we have the following projects, students and mentors: Background Code Analysis in MonoDevelop Student: Nikhil Sarda Mentor: Jeremie Laval This project will bring background C# code analysis to MonoDevelop, to highlight problems on the fly, and offer fixes using MonoDevelop's refactoring operations. Code Contracts Verifier Student: Chris Bacon Mentor: Marek Safar This project will implement the verifier for .NET 4 Code Contracts, and complete Mono's implementation of the Code Contracts API. Additional C# Refactoring Operations for MonoDevelop Student: Martinho Fernandes Mentor: Mike Krueger This project will increase the number of C# refactoring operations in MonoDevelop, including improved extract method, extract interface/superclass, change method signature, and many more. F# Language Binding for MonoDevelop Student: Victor Milovanov Mentor: Lluis Sanchez This project will improve the nascent F# support in MonoDevelop, focusing on more advanced features such as the code completion parser. Safe Points and Precise Scanning of Locals for SGen Student: Sanjoy Das Mentor: Mark Probst This project will add safe points to Mono's new SGen GC, which are a prerequisite of several useful GC features and optimizations. Managed Interop with Native C++ Libraries Student: Alexander Corrado Mentor: Andreia Gaita This project will improved C++ interop mechanisms for managed code, including direct invocation without C glue. MonoDevelop Class Designer Student: Evan Briones Mentor: Michael Hutchinson This project will create a class designer for MonoDevelop based on a re-usable Moonlight canvas. GTK# Data Binding Library with Stetic Support Student: Krzysztof Marecki Mentor: Mike Kestner This project will focus on improving MonoDevelop's "Stetic" GTK# designer. Regex-to-IL Compiler Student: C.J. Adams-Collier Mentor: Rodrigo Kumpera This project will complete Mono's Regex-to-IL compiler, allowing regexes to be JIT-compiled. Mono.UPnP Student: Yavor Georgiev Mentor: Scott Peterson This project will complete the Mono.UPnP library, for media sharing between devices and applications such as Banshee and F-Spot. We are now in the community bonding period, which means it's time to get to know your mentors, get comfortable with any tools you're going to need to use on the project, refine your project goals and scope, and do any setup required to get ready for coding. Things to do at this time: - subscribe to the mono-soc mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/mono-soc-2010 - if you haven't yet, join us on irc.gimpnet.org, the SoC-specific channel is #monosoc - get excited! We look forward to working with these students this summer, and hope for a very successful Summer of Code! andreia|gaita * http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/org/home/google/gsoc2010/mono ** no monkeys were hurt in the process _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
