[IAEP] Google Summer of Code 2018

[Walter Bender]

We are still in the midst of wrapping up Google Code in -- almost 1200
students participating -- but we need to get moving quickly on Google
Summer of Code, as the application period closes on 23 January.

I've finished the boilerplate portion of the application and Devin Ulibarri
has agreed to be co-administrator this year.

* If you have interest in being a mentor this summer, please contact Devin
and me.
* If you have a project idea, please add it to the table in the wiki [1].
(If you are uncomfortable editing the wiki, feel free to email me.
* If you have any other suggestions/input, please share it with us and the
community.

regards and happy new year.

[Tymon Radzik]

In my opinion Sugar Labs participation in Google Summer of Code is really
important for our community and every year we get a lot of major
improvements to our projects, because of students working in this program.

I am definietely for making an application, I am also ready to help as a
mentor.

Best,
Tymon

[Walter Bender]

We are still wrapping up GCI and already Google has announced that the
application window for Google Summer of Code [1] is open. Before I pursue
the possibility of Sugar Labs participating, I wanted to get a sense of the
opinion of the Sugar Labs community and the Sugar Labs oversight board.
Should I apply on behalf of Sugar Labs? Anyone interested in either being a
mentor or an administrator?

regards.

Congratulations to Casey, Erik, Rahul, Suraj, Kalpa, Marian, Anna, and
Akshit who are participating in Google Summer of Code this summer
working with mentors from Sugar Labs.

Details of their projects can be found on the Google website [1].

I'll be sending out an email regarding getting organized over the next
day or two.

To everyone who applied but was not selected, we appreciate your
effort and regret that we didn't have enough slots to accommodate your
projects. We welcome your participation regardless, so please join us
on IRC.

 The deadline is the 29th of this month, so please act in the next day or two.

I've added a PackageKit based Update Control Panel. The current
implementation is completely broken and for deployments that might
want to control updates it's not overly useful. PackageKit is
distribution agnostic so would work on Fedora/Debian/SuSE/Arch/Ubuntu
etc.

I can mentor from the OS side of things but would need someone to lead
for the Sugar/Python side of things.

I think that anything is within the scope of our mission is

 I have recently been doing the coding for Algebra: An Algorithmic
 Treatment, by Turing Award winner Kenneth E. Iverson. He wrote it for
 APL on printing terminals in the early 1970s, and I have translated it
 to his last language, J, on Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Re: [IAEP] Google Summer of Code 2011

[Chris Ball]

Hi Dinko,

I'll get on #2 this weekend and report my progress/ideas on
Monday.  For start, I'll need to rework the interactive example I
made because I've used a bad approach of not separating the data
from the code there, and to take into account the suggestions I got.

I might have missed a mail -- did you make any progress with this?
It'd be great to have this work be usable by others.

Thanks,

- Chris.

[Anish Mangal]

[snip]

  http://google-summer-of-code-2010-sugar-labs.googlecode.com/files/Dinko_Galetic.tar.gz

 So far as possible next steps are concerned:

  1. Someone needs to publish Dinko's examples in the form of an activity
     bundle, so that they are useful to people who consume activity bundles
 (as
     opposed to text files, tarballs, patches, and/or git repos).

  2. Someone needs to write an interpreter for Dinko's tutorial content, so
     that it can be usefully distributed as part of an activity bundle.

  3. Some Pippy maintainer needs to decide how to go about merging Dinko's
     work, so that we can wind up with a proper Happy Ending.

 Further questions?

 Regards,

 Michael

 P.S. - @Dinko, Anish, Quozl: Interested outside folks (including me) are
 probably able to outright /do/ one or more of these tasks, but I know that I
 feel reticent about picking them up for fear of stepping on toes. Therefore,
 could you please be a bit more vocal about what kinds and amounts of help
 you'd
 like with these tasks?

Any help is welcome! I'm quite busy these days working at the
deployment in Paraguay which leaves limited time to maintain Pippy.
Thus, you (or interested outside folks) won't be stepping on my toes
atleast.

[IAEP] Google Summer of Code 2011--PlayGo, anyone?

[Edward Cherlin]

I'm looking for a volunteer developer.

The developer of the PlayGo activity for Sugar has apparently
abandoned the project, and has not responded to my e-mail asking about
it. This is a shame, because the American Go Association is very
excited about helping with it, and is making a push into
Spanish-language evangelism for the game.

Go is becoming popular all over Latin America and other
Spanish-speaking countries, as evidenced by the number of Go
organizations listed at Iberoamerican Go Federation
http://www.fedibergo.org/

including

Asociación Peruana de Igo-Shogui
Asociación Uruguaya de Go

among many others.

 I'm aware of these pages but after looking through them (like I did last
 September:
 http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-September/026545.html)
 I still couldn't figure out which projects had been worked on, what
 their progress was, whether the results had made it into the related
 activities and packages, etc.

 The reason why I thought of this again is because showing the impact
 past GSoC projects had on Sugar could be a great way to attract students
 this time 'round.

 http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Category:GSoChave some references.

 I'm aware of these pages but after looking through them (like I did last
 September:
 http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-September/026545.html)
 I still couldn't figure out which projects had been worked on, what
 their progress was, whether the results had made it into the related
 activities and packages, etc.

 The reason why I thought of this again is because showing the impact
 past GSoC projects had on Sugar could be a great way to attract students
 this time 'round.

Re: [IAEP] Google Summer of Code 2011

[Chris Ball]

Hi Michael,

3. Dinko Galetic, Lucian Branescu Mihaila, and Sebastian Dziallas
all successfully completed their Google Summer of Code projects.
Congratulations and thanks to Google for sponsoring the work and
to their mentors Stefan (Dogi) Unterhauser, Luis Gustavo Lira,
Michael Stone, and Sascha Silbe, and to Tim McNamara for
organizing the Sugar Labs GSoC program.

and
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Summer_of_Code/2010/Abstract_Browser

This reminds me -- it looks like Dinko's changes were not merged
into Pippy mainline.  Can you tell us about the status of his work?

Thanks,

- Chris.

Hi Chris,

I can tell you about it.
There were things which were in my original plan for the GSoC, but I didn't
manage to finish. My university obligations have kept me from getting back
to it (more due to the drain of motivation than due to the lack of time),
but it's been on my mind lately and will get back to it in the next few
days.

Regards,
Dinko

Chris, Dinko,

Here's what Dinko accomplished:

  * In June, Dinko wrote several new Pippy examples and, with my help,
solicited a round of review from Anish, which Anish kindly provided.
Dinko later wrote back that he had implemented the requested revisions.

  * In July, Dinko worked on Python tutorial content. Later, Caryl offered (and
Dinko responded to) several threads worth of comments on the content of
three of the tutorial files that Dinko sent to sugar-devel@.

  * In August, Dinko reported that his health declined and that he got stuck
several times while trying to figure out how to build his planned game.

  * Finally, in September, Dinko published his examples, his tutorial content,
and his initial work on the planned game here:

  
http://google-summer-of-code-2010-sugar-labs.googlecode.com/files/Dinko_Galetic.tar.gz

So far as possible next steps are concerned:

  1. Someone needs to publish Dinko's examples in the form of an activity
 bundle, so that they are useful to people who consume activity bundles (as
 opposed to text files, tarballs, patches, and/or git repos).

  2. Someone needs to write an interpreter for Dinko's tutorial content, so
 that it can be usefully distributed as part of an activity bundle.

  3. Some Pippy maintainer needs to decide how to go about merging Dinko's
 work, so that we can wind up with a proper Happy Ending.

Further questions?

Regards,

Michael

P.S. - @Dinko, Anish, Quozl: Interested outside folks (including me) are
probably able to outright /do/ one or more of these tasks, but I know that I
feel reticent about picking them up for fear of stepping on toes. Therefore,
could you please be a bit more vocal about what kinds and amounts of help you'd
like with these tasks?

Re: [IAEP] Google Summer of Code

[Carlos Rabassa]

Muchísimas gracias Andrés por tus comentarios.

No me interesa personalmente Google Summer of Code, ya que estoy muy pasado de 
edad,  creo haber leído algo de 15 a 18 años como edad de los participantes que 
buscan.

Imagino que los mentores podrán ser mayores sin limite de edad??

Tampoco me interesaría en lo personal esta posibilidad ya que ahí fallaría en 
el área de conocimientos pero imagino habrá muchísimos en Uruguay y otros 
países que podrían interesarse y calificar.

 Es una verdadera lástima que en las universidades no se estimule la 
 participación en el programa,

¿Es necesario esperar a que alguna universidad se interese?

Con lo poco que leí parecía que lo único esencial eran los candidatos con ganas 
de trabajar muy en serio,  que el resto de los problemas se irían resolviendo 
sobre la marcha a través del proceso de solicitud.

Da la impresión que para la próxima sesión tal vez no haya tiempo pero,  
estando lejos y en hemisferio diferente tal vez sea el momento más adecuado 
para comenzar a trabajar con miras a 2012.

Me quedó la duda del título del programa con la palabra verano en lugar 
prominente.

Me pregunté cómo participarían los estudiantes del hemisferio sur.

Quedé con la impresión de que esperan el programa toma bastante tiempo a los 
participantes como para ser compatible con las actividades del año escolar.

Dudo mucho que si se muestra interés serio desde Uruguay,  con candidatos 
específicos,  nos contesten que el programa es exclusivo para estudiantes del 
hemisferio norte.

Tal vez tu puedas y te interese actuar,  de acuerdo con los que dirigen el 
programa,  como creador de una versión Hemisferio Sur del mismo.

Quedé con la impresión que los únicos contactos en persona que se requieren son 
los viajes a recibir los premios.

Nos cuentas que eres uruguayo y que ya has participado como mentor.

Sería posible que nos explicaras un poco más.

Cuando comenzaste tus contactos con Google Summer of Code,  ¿vivías en Uruguay?

Nuevamente gracias por haber respondido a nuestro mensaje y desde ya,  por 
cualquier información adicional que puedas darnos.

 Parece sumamente interesante y gratis y con posibilidades de aprender mucho
