Work on yt this summer for Google Summer of Code 2018
by Nathan Goldbaum 12 Feb '18

12 Feb '18

Hi all, We will be participating in the NumFOCUS google summer of code org this year. Interested students will be able to spend 10 weeks this summer improving yt. We have three project ideas on our google summer of code repository on GitHub along with detailed instructions on how to apply: https://github.com/yt-project/gsoc-2018 https://github.com/yt-project/gsoc-2018#project-ideas https://github.com/yt-project/gsoc-2018#applying Applications are due March 27, 2018. To apply for google summer of code you must be enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student at an accredited university. The stipend scales with cost of living, but goes from ~$2400 (in e.g. India) to ~$6600 (in e.g. the USA). During the course of the program, the student is expected to work full time on their summer of code project as an independent contractor funded by Google. A successful applicant will make themselves visible to the yt developer community and will reach out to us on our developer mailing list. We also have a requirement that the applicant must submit and merge at least one pull request before we approve your application. We strongly encourage applicants to contact their prospective mentor to ask questions about their application and iterate on drafts well before the deadline. If you know anyone who might be interested in this opportunity, please forward this e-mail to them. I'm happy to answer questions via e-mail. Best, Nathan Goldbaum

06 Feb '18

Dear all, I am Aasheesh Tiwari from India. Currently, I am pursuing Masters in Geoinformatics from CSRE , Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB). I have my bachelors in Computer Science. I have had the exposure to geospatial data and I did several assignments on spatial data Interpolation . I have good understanding of various interpolation techniques. Currently, i have been working on an IOT based sensing device which measures various parameters of an agricultural land, this data acquired from the sensors is used to predict the health of crops. And various parameters like temperature, soil moisture etc are visualized for the farmers to interpret. I would love to contribute in the upcoming Google Summer of Code 2018. I would be very grateful to get any directions to start with so that i can pursue and participate in GSoC 2018 with your organisation.
