Hi, "ESA Summer of Code in Space (SOCIS) is a pilot program run by ... the European Space Agency that offers student developers stipends to write code for various space-related open source software projects. ...
The program is inspired by (but not affiliated or related in any way to) Google's Summer of Code initiative." [1] Ok, lets face it, it's a copy of GSoC. The managers former GSoC participants (students). There are some caveats: * extremely tight timeframe, mentoring organizations application deadline is on 15 July * only European universities, at least half the participating students of each university must be from ESA states * there are around 10 to 30 student slots, depending on the number of applications * "it does not need to be already in use ..... just space related (you need to report what is the potential space use of the software in the org application form)" (Dario Izzo, one of the program managers) So, can we and do we want to whip up an application that sounds sufficiently space related within 10 days? With the short time frame I think we certainly have a chance if only because few projects even noticed. And space-related does not mean it has to be useable onboard a spacecraft, could be knowledge management or project management or scientific applications.

Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2d-c2 _______________________________________________ Semediawiki-devel mailing list Semediawiki-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/semediawiki-devel
