[GSOC] 2018 student

[Shreya Parashare]

Hello,

I am a second year computer engineering student. I wish to contribute to
your project - Inclusive Design Guide Digital-Print copy workflow
prototypes. Could you guide me regarding how to proceed? In your project
description you mention this to be a research-based project. Could you
describe as to how this affects the actual proposal draft? What do you
expect to see in a proposal drafted for this project?

Regards,
Shreya

GSOC 2018

[Nipan Das]

Hello, I am Nipan Das from India. I am a GSoC aspirant and I am quite
interested in the project "Build a service for adaptive content and
learning supports". I have started to work on the proposal. Am I at the
right place to inquire about GSoC?
I also need some reviews of my work before submitting the final proposal.
Thanks

RE: Interactive PhET simulation | GSoC 2018

[Jesse Tuning Greenberg]

Hello Nilay,

My name is Jesse Greenberg, I am a software enigineer for PhET interactive
simulations and the mentor for the GSoC project you are interested in. I am
happy to hear you are interested in the project. Thank you sending your
background information, and thank you for reviewing the Scenery
documentation.

To become more familiar with PhET, please do the following:

1) Review the PhET Development Overview

to
get project dependencies and learn how to run a PhET simulation locally.
This document also has information about PhET's coding style guidelines.

2) Once you are able to run the Example Simulation at
http://localhost:8080/example-sim/example-sim_en.html, please do the
following tasks to familiarize yourself with our codebase:

   - Run the simulation with accessibility enabled. This can be done by
   adding the ?accessibility query parameter at the end of the ULR like
   http://localhost:8080/example-sim/example-sim_en.html?accessibility.
   Buttons in the control panel should now be focusable with "tab" key.
   - Use Scenery's API for accessibility to make the BarMagnetNode
   focusable. You will have to set a tag name on the node for it to be
   focusable.
   - Use Scenery's API for accessibility to add an accessible label and
   description to  the BarMagnetNode. The label should be "Bar Magnet". The
   description should be "The bar magnet is oriented in a S-N orientation".
   - When the orientation of the BarMagnetNode changes, update its
   accessible description to reflect the change. It should say
  - The bar magnet is oriented in a S-N orientation" when the south
  pole is on the left, and
  - The bar magnet is oriented in a N-S orientation" when the south
  pole is on the right.
   - [Extra Credit] If you feel you have time, add a "Move Magnet" button
   below the "Flip Polarity" button. When pressed, it should move the bar
   magnet to a random location somewhere in the screen.

Additional information that might be helpful:

   - The code for the control panel is in
   C:\PATH\example-sim\js\example\view\ControlPanel.js.
   - The API for accessibility in Scenery is documented and defined in
   C:\PATH\scenery\js\accessibility\Accessibility.js.
   - There are a couple of ways to verify your accessible labels and
   descriptions. One way is to use a screen reader to "read" through the sim
   and find the accessible content. But if you do not have a screen reader,
   you can also inspect the HTML to find the descriptions. The sim has a div
   with class="accessibility". After you give a node a tag name or accessible
   label, new elements and content will appear under this div.
   - Feel free to look through other UI components in
   https://github.com/phetsims/sun for examples of how to specify tag
   names, labels, and descriptions.

Please let me know if you have questions about the above items.

Best,
- Jesse Greenberg

Interactive PhET simulation | GSoC 2018

[Nilay Arora]

Hi,
I am Nilay Arora, a sophomore currently studying Computer Science
Engineering at BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus, India. I wish to apply for GSoC
with your organization. I have a programming experience of over five years in
Javascript and Front-End Web Development and have gained substantial
command over many web technologies such as AngularJS, WebAPIs, jQuery, AJAX,
CSS, and HTML. Having done Object Oriented Programming (OOP) course in my
college, I am quite confident in JAVA, OOP concepts, and Design Patterns.

I am also a part of the 10 member team which creates websites and
applications for various festivals organized at BITS Pilani.

Some projects I have contributed to are:

1. https://bits-oasis.org - Official website for Oasis BITS Pilani which is
BITS' cultural festival.

2. https://nilay117.github.io/ - AngularJS WebApp for student-run Startup -
StarConnect

3. https://bits-bosm.org/2017/intro/ - Official website for Bosm BITS
Pilani which is BITS' sports festival.

4. https://bits-apogee.org/2017/ - Official website for Apogee BITS Pilani
which is BITS' technical festival.

While going through your project ideas I was fascinated by the idea,
*"**Implement
dynamic descriptions for an interactive PhET simulation". *

Apart from Web Development, I would be interested in learning about
Simulations, which is a major reason why I would like to work with your
organization. Doing this project for your organization would help me create
a niche for myself and contribute to other projects your organization works
on.

I have started off by studying Scenery Docs
.

What else should I do to get started on this project?

GSoC 2018 - gathering project ideas

[Justin Obara]

Hey Everyone,

GSoC 2018 organization applications open this week. Unfortunately we won’t
have time this year to schedule a brainstorming meeting to come up with
ideas. However, we should still organize our projects for the students to
look at. For all of those interested in being a mentor, please add a
project idea to the “Google Summer of Code 2018 with the Fluid Project
<https://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Google+Summer+of+Code+2018+with+the+Fluid+Project>”
wiki page. There is a template provided, and you can also look at past
years for further reference (e.g 2017
<https://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Google+Summer+of+Code+2017+with+the+Fluid+Project>
).

The application deadline is Tuesday Jan 23. Please let me know if you’d
like to mentor a project before then, as we need to indicate how many
project we’d like to mentor.

If you have an idea, but are looking for a co-mentor, please feel free to
co-ordinate here on list. Also, feel free to post any questions  here as
well.

Thanks
Justin
