Interested in GSoC 2014
Hello All, I am interested in participating GSoC 2014. I have went through last year's eligibility criterion, I think I am qualified to participate. I know GSoC 2014 still has more than 2-3 months, however I would like to start early. Please let me know suggestions. After going through GSoC 2013 page (https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2013), I think I would be interested in Core Python or PyPy. Please let me know how should I start. Thanks a lot for your inputs. Thanks and Regards, Prasad

Hi Prasad, We recently introduced a Python scripting API into reSIProcate You would be welcome to contribute some code to exercise the API. Here are some details: http://www.resiprocate.org/Python It would be particularly interesting to try and integrate the new WebRTC / WebSocket cookie support with some existing Python-based web framework, e.g. Django. This would allow a user with a Django login, shopping cart or some other long running session to pass their state through the cookies. Regards, Daniel

If you want to work on CPython or PyPy, the best thing to do is to get involved in the community. For CPython, that means following the python-dev mailing list and exploring the bug tracker. (pypy has its own mailing list and bug tracker, and I'm sure they will respond there...it is best not to cross post messages like this, by the way; I've removed pypy-dev from the followups on this message.) For CPython, the place to start is the devguide: http://docs.python.org/devguide There's also a Core Mentorship mailing list (core-mentorship@python.org, see mail.python.org for signup details). There you can ask any questions you want about the development process and get mentoring on fixing bugs, which is the best way to get involved. For any Python project you will be required to submit a patch on the relevant project's tracker as part of your qualification, so getting started on this now is a great idea. I should warn you, though, that the CPython team tends to only come up with GSoc projects at the last minute... --David
