[Numpy-discussion] GSoC 2017: NumFocus will be an umbrella organization

[Max Linke]

Hi

Organizations can start submitting applications for Google Summer of Code
2017 on January 19 (and the deadline is February 9)

https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline?hl=en

NumFOCUS will be applying again this year. If you want to work with us
please let me know and if you apply as an organization yourself or under a
different umbrella organization please tell me as well. If you participate
with us it would be great if you start to add possible projects to the
ideas page on github soon. We some general information for mentors on
github.

https://github.com/numfocus/gsoc/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING-mentors.md

We also have a template for ideas that might help. It lists the things
Google likes to see.

https://github.com/numfocus/gsoc/blob/master/2017/ideas-list-skeleton.md

In case you participated in earlier years with NumFOCUS there are some
small changes this year. Raniere won't be the admin this year. Instead I'm
going to be the admin. We are also planning to include two explicit rules
when a student should be failed, they have to communicate regularly and
commit code into your development branch at the end of the summer.

best, Max

Thanks for bringing this up, and for organizing the NumFOCUS participation!

I suspect we won't participate at all, but if we do then it's likely under
the PSF umbrella as we have done previously.

@all: in practice working on NumPy is just far too hard for most GSoC
students. Previous years we've registered and generated ideas, but not
gotten any students. We're also short on maintainer capacity. So I propose
to not participate this year.

Thanks for letting me now. If you decide to participate with the PSF
please write me a private mail so that I can update the NumFOCUS gsoc
page accordingly.
