Thanks Ralf, Note that we have always done a combined numpy/scipy ideas page and
submission. For really good students numpy may be the right challenge, but in general scipy is easier to get started on.
yup -- good idea. Is there a page ready to go, or do we need to get one up? (I don't even know where to put it...)
Under the PSF umbrella has always worked very well, both in terms of communication quality and of getting the amount of slots we wanted, so yes.
hmm, looking here: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2016#Sub-orgs it seems it's time to get started. and I _think_ our ideas page can go on that Wiki.
Are you maybe interested in co-organizing or mentoring Chris? Updating the ideas page, proposal reviewing and interviewing students via video calls can be time-consuming, and mentoring definitely is, so the more the merrier.
I would love to help -- though I don't think I can commit to being a full-on mentor. If we get a couple people to agree to mentor, then we can get ourselves setup up with the PSF. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
