Synfig Project Forum

Well, it's that time of the year again. Google summer of code is coming up, applications should be in February 27 to March 11.

Wouldn't it be sweet if Synfig finally had a project or two participating?

LGW has an interesting article on the subject: http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entr ... er-of-code

That would be great. But that depend on Genete - if he will have time/desire to be a mentor.

From my side there is not doubt to be a mentor.

Then I can start working on GSoC entry documents. Next week, probably...

I'd gladly participate as student implementing the render in Cairo, or something else if it was better, if synfig got accepted.
I've just read the nikitakit notes on Cairo rendering and sound very exciting

Good, now we have mentor and student. The good thing is that eldruin already submitted some commits to repository - that's increases our chances to get accepted. I can get administrator role if no one against that.

It would be great if Synfig can enter GSoC this year!

I'll have much less stuff to do over the summer, so I could join in if there are more roles to fill. But I'll be on vacation at least for part of it. (Technically I'm eligible as a student, though I don't see what the point of that would be)

Hi nikitakit!
I'm glad you can have time to spend on Synfig during the summer. Please think on it and propose on role to the GoSoc (even be a mentor) and we'll be glad to make a working team with you.

In any case, even if we don't be accepted at the GoSoc, it would be great that you join to the coding team this summer.

Cheers!

According to the timeline, applications for organizations are live and must be submitted by March 9. I think you need to register as an admin to access the complete form that needs to be filled out.

I've registered and my public name is Genete.
Zelgadis was charged to fill the Organization application form. I guess that he can also invite me to be a mentor since I have a Requests (invitations and requests) list on my Dashboard.

At the moment we have:
Administrator: Zelgadis
Mentor: Genete
Student: Eldruin

and we need one Administrator backup and a Mentor Backup. Anyone offers?

Since I'll be around to help for most (but not all) of the time GSoC runs, I can fill in as a backup mentor.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe in the application phase the amount of potential students doesn't play a huge role at this point. (Once a project is accepted, they probably get applications from newcomers that saw it listed on Google's list). It's more about project ideas: Cairo is definitely one, but we should probably make a wiki list of others as well. Even if they don't happen for GSoC, they might be coding tasks that could attract a couple new coders to the Synfig project.

I can be a backup administrator.
