Is matplotlib planning on applying to be a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code? If so, may I suggest that an html5/canvas backend (with interactive features) would be a fantastic project that would benefit a wide range of people? Thanks, Jason |

We could probably supervise a student who was interested in this. We haven't brought it up for 2009, though we did mentor a student several years ago. Do you have someone in mind who would be interested in this? JDH |

There, it seems like there may be several people interested (thought I don't know if they are qualifying students). I'm CCing this to the sage-devel list as well. If you are a student who would like to contribute to matplotlib and get paid for it, speak up so that we know there is interest! I bring this up since I believe that the deadline for a mentoring organization to apply is this Friday (13 Mar). See http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/program/google/gsoc2009/faqs#org_apply I wouldn't be qualified to mentor this (time-wise or experience-with-matplotlib-wise), but I am certainly cheering it on! Thanks, Jason |

Don't wait for an interested student to register -- if you have a couple people that have the time and inclination to mentor -- apply, students will come, and if no good ones do, you don't have to do it. I recommend it -- mentoring is fun and rewarding, and you can get some good work done. Maybe a SciPY application would make sense, and then we could accept proposals for numpy, MPL, SAGE, etc... -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 Chr...@no... |

I think that's a great project idea -- nice and contained with an obvious goal. I'd be happy to help out with that, as I probably know as much about the new backend interfaces as anyone. I am also willing to mentor the project I volunteered for last year (the student dropped out in the eleventh hour). That was to extract the math expression rendering engine out as a separate project. It's hairier than it sounds, because it requires separating out the freetype wrappers as well, and parts of all the backends. But this is something the Sympy and Sage folks were very interested in last year as well.

I have added these proposals to the PSF's GSoC 2009 wiki page here: http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2009 Feel free to add more ideas there. The PSF will do the work of applying to Google -- we can encourage prospective students and mentors to apply through the PSF.

My first thought is that a SciPy application would be best -- with SciPy, numpy, MPL, Sage, Cython, etc, it's plenty big, but would have a bit more focus. As an example, wxPython has been a mentoring organization for the last few years. Not that I'm volunteering to put together the application.... -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 Chr...@no... |

I don't have time to do that either. MPL tagged along with the PSF last year and it worked great (very low administrative overhead for us mentors), until it fell through for unrelated reasons.

I spoke with the SoC coordinator about this last year and was told they would prefer us to stay under the PSF umbrella. This year they plan to sponsor fewer mentoring organizations, I believe (so less chance we would get accepted). Finally, the deadline for submitting an application to be a mentoring organization is Friday (March 13) at 12 noon PDT: http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2009/faqs.html#0_1_mentoring_orgs_52990812492_14255507054617844 |
