Sage GSoC 2021 Projects

[Travis Scrimshaw]

Hi everyone,

   I will be the admin for this year's Sage's GSoC program (for more on GSoC, see https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/), taking over after the amazing job Harald has been doing these past years. This year, students will be working on a 175-hour project over 10 weeks; specifically June 8th to August 17th. As part of our application, I need your help in constructing a a list of potential projects and mentors.

If you are interested in mentoring a student on a project, please add it to this page (still a bit of a work in progress): https://wiki.sagemath.org/GSoC/2021

Note that by adding a project, you are not committing to being a mentor. Being a mentor typically means weekly meetings, some emails checking progress, and writing a few progress reports. Even if you are unsure of your availability, it would be great to add some projects.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Travis

Hi everyone,

  With currently only 2 projects (proposed only by me), we do not have a strong case to be accepted for GSoC this year. It would be great if you could add a project if you are considering one.

I have been a (co)mentor the past few years and also found the program very rewarding. This is a great way to get some help with doing improvements to Sage or with your research, where you can give back to the community. You also do not need to be a regular Sage developer either. I (or perhaps other developers) can help you when issues arise.

Best,

Travis

would anybody be interested in co-mentoring work on the species code (in particular, lazy formal power series)?

Hi Clemens,

   Google could look at the projects page at anytime now. So it would be good to add them by the end of the week.

Best,

Travis

Perhaps you could add it as a project, and if we get a reasonable student selected for it, then we can find a co-mentor (which I could do).

Best,

Travis

I have added a project in group theory that I wanted for a long time, but I will not be available to help with it this summer.

TB

I have added a project for expanding Sage's asymptotics module to the list which Clemens and I are willing to mentor.

Best wishes,
Benjamin

I've added myself as a mentor for the Small Groups project.  I am willing to help but haven't been involved enough lately to have my own idea.

Thank you everyone who has added some projects.

Even if someone has a project later on they want to add, please do so. We can continue to add projects until we select the students in a few months.

Best,

Travis

I added a project for improving the graph drawing methods we have.
