Reminder: please put your sub-org name in the title of your proposals!
by Terri Oda March 25, 2016

March 25, 2016

Hi all, Just a quick reminder: please put the sub-org name at the beginning of your proposal. e.g. "Core Python: Fatoptomizer" This makes it much easier for mentors to find your proposals. We're a pretty large sub-org and you don't want your proposal to get missed or dismissed as spam by accident! Terri

Finalize your projects ASAP!
by Terri Oda March 24, 2016

March 24, 2016

Hi all, Just a quick reminder that you should finalize your projects in Google's system ASAP. While we don't anticipate any problems with the submission system, in the past Google has given no extensions for any reason including technical issues on their end, so it's best to get things in early just in case. You can still update the "final" projects if you need to up until the deadline which is March 25 at 1900 UTC. Please note the time! This link might help you convert it to your local time: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=GSoC+2016+proposal… Terri

Query regarding code sample
by Himanshu Arora March 24, 2016

March 24, 2016

Hello I am applying this year for Italian Mars Society under Python Software Foundation. I have put up draft proposal. The code sample link submitted are 1.) Code of one of my Course Project hosted on Github . 2.) I have written a basic implementation of algorithms i have proposed and added it to forked repository (BitBucket) . Now i cannot send it as pull request as its not final code and just a implementation of algorithms i have proposed. Is that sufficient ? Or i have to have a Pull request to the main repository. -- Regards, Himanshu Arora, IIIrd Year , B.E ( Hons ) Electrical & Electronics Engineering *Birla Institute of Technology & Science,* Pilani Pilani Campus, Rajasthan 333 031 , INDIA

GSoC: apply for Kivy plyer
by weihuang March 23, 2016

March 23, 2016

Dear Mentors, I am a Chinese girl from department of computer science, Tsinghua University. I am interested in Plyer project of Kivy in GSoC, and trying to work on issues#3853. “”" Select dock mode, restart the app, press Continue and select one of the keyboard layouts, then use the docked keyboard. TypeError: key_up() takes exactly 3 arguments (5 given) # (<kivy.uix.vkeyboard.VKeyboard object at 0x10ae9c8a0>, u'g', u'g', []) # or (keyboard, keycode, text, modifiers) “”" The crash can be avoided simply by appending a parameter for the function key_up in https://github.com/kivy/kivy/blob/master/examples/keyboard/main.py#L204 ======= - def key_up(self, keyboard, keycode): + def key_up(self, keyboard, keycode, *args): ======= Is it enough? I wonder what constitutes an appropriate patch/sample and more information about the Plyer project. Does “moving the Java/PyOBJus code from p4a/kivy-ios to plyer” means to deprecate p4a/kivy-ios and to use plyer instead? I’ll be grateful if you can help me refine the application. https://docs.google.com/document/d/17iwUwHl_BBxECneB7rSE8TYVEUkWkwvOfiAEVgW… ---------------- Best Regards, Wei Huang(黄薇) Department of Computer Science and Technology Tsinghua University ---------------- Best Regards, Wei Huang(黄薇) Department of Computer Science and Technology Tsinghua University

March 21, 2016

Hello Developers! >From my understanding after reading the 'How to compose a proposal', I'm supposed to come upward with fresh ideas to forge on with the system. Or can we apply for any idea that an organization is already working on? Junaid Regards, Abdul Junaid Habib University, Computer Science 01460

A note about proof of enrollment
by Terri Oda March 19, 2016

March 19, 2016

Hi all, I've been seeing lots of questions on the main gsoc channel about proof of enrollment, so I'd like to remind you all that the FAQ entry about it is here: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/proof-of-enrollment Note particularly: - You can (and should!) submit your application even if you don't know if your proof of enrollment has been accepted. Don't wait! - Quoting directly from the document: "If you have questions about whether your document is acceptable, don't ask on IRC or on public mailing lists, just upload it to the site. If it is not acceptable, we will ask you to upload a different document within a specified time frame. You will receive an email when your form has been approved." So definitely don't make the mistake many others have been making and ask on IRC about it. Good luck! Terri

GSoC: looking for a student to help me on FAT Python
by Victor Stinner March 17, 2016

March 17, 2016

Hi, I am now looking for a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) student to help me of my FAT Python project, a new static optimizer for CPython 3.6 using specialization with guards. The FAT Python project is already fully functional, the code is written and tested. I need help to implement new efficient optimizations to "finish" the project and prove that my design allows to really run applications faster. FAT Python project: https://faster-cpython.readthedocs.org/fat_python.html fatoptimizer module: https://fatoptimizer.readthedocs.org/ Slides of my talk at FOSDEM: https://github.com/haypo/conf/raw/master/2016-FOSDEM/fat_python.pdf The "fatoptimizer" optimizer is written in pure Python. I'm looking for a student who knows compilers especially static optimizations like loop unrolling and function inlining. For concrete tasks, take a look at the TODO list: https://fatoptimizer.readthedocs.org/en/latest/todo.html Hurry up students! The deadline is in 1 week! (Sorry, I'm late for my project...) -- PSF GSoC, Python core projects: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2016/python-core All PSF GSoC projects: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2016 GSOC: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/ Victor
