GSoC Students announced

[Aaron Meurer]

Hi everyone. As many of you may have noticed, Google has announced the results

for Google Summer of Code. I am proud to announce that nine students have

been accepted to work on SymPy/SymEngine. The following projects have been

accepted:

Student (Project): Mentors

Abdullah Javed Nesar (Rubi Integrator): Ondřej Čertík

Adha Ranjith Kumar (Implementing Solvers for SymEngine): Srajan Garg, Sumith Kulal, Shivam Vats

Arif Ahmed (Implementing a SymPy module for Integration of Homogeneous functions over Polytopes): Ondřej Čertík

Arihant Parsoya (Rubi Integrator): Ondřej Čertík and Francesco Bonazzi

Björn Dahlgren (Improved code-generation facilities): Aaron Meurer, Jason Moore, Sartaj Singh

Gaurav Dhingra (Symbolic Integration): Aaron Meurer and Kalevi Suominen

ShikharJ (Improving SymEngine's Python Wrappers and SymPy-SymEngine Integration): Isuru Fernando and Sumith Kulal

Szymon Mieszczak (Implementation of multiple types of coordinate systems for vectors): Sudhanshu Mishra, Jason Moore, Francesco Bonazzi

Valeriia Gladkova (Group Theory: Subgroups, Homomorphisms and Presentations): Kshitij Saraogi, Sudhanshu Mishra, and Kalevi Suominen

Join me in congratulating these students on their acceptance.

In case you don't know, Google Summer of Code is a program where Google pays

students to write code for open source projects.  SymPy was accepted as a

mentoring organization this year.  The goal of the program is to help the

students learn new skills, in particular in our case:

* contributing to opensource

* working with the community

* learn git, pull requests, reviews

* teach them how to review other's people patches

* do useful work for SymPy

* have fun, and encourage the students to stay around

To all the students who are accepted, you should be receiving an email from

your mentors soon to discuss how you will be communicating over the summer

about your project. You should meet with your mentors about once a week during

the summer to go over your progress. You should either meet on a public

channel (like Gitter), or else post minutes of your meeting in some public

channel, so that the whole community can see your progress too.

I would like all of us to strongly encourage students this summer to submit

pull requests early and often.  This will go a long ways towards making sure

that you don't end the summer with a ton of code written that never gets

merged.  Students should help review pull requests by other students, so that

we don't get bogged down reviewing so much code.

We also require that all students keep a weekly blog of their work over the

summer. If you don't already have a blog, you should start one. I recommend

using either Wordpress, Blogger, or creating your own blog on GitHub pages. If

you are savvy enough to set it up, I recommend GitHub pages, but if you

aren't, both Wordpress and Blogger are good enough. The only requirement is

that it has an RSS feed, so we can put it on planet.sympy.org. Planet SymPy is

also aggregated on Twitter at https://twitter.com/planetsympy. I also

recommend that it have some kind of comments box, so that people can comment

on your work. Planet SymPy is currently broken, but Sumith and Ondřej are

working on fixing it.

Starting on the week of May 30 (when the GSoC period officially begins), we

will expect you to have at least one blog post a week, describing your

progress for that week, or something interesting about your project. If you

don't have a post by the beginning of the day on Saturday, your mentors or I

will email you to remind you about it. I encourage all community members to

follow and comment on the student blogs, so you can see their progress.

I would like to thank all the students who applied this year and everyone who

submitted a patch.  I would also like to thank all the mentors for helping

review patches and proposals.

This summer is looking to be another very productive one for SymPy, and I look

forward to it!

For those of you who don't know, you can make a separate public room (please make it public) in Gitter under the SymPy org at https://gitter.im/sympy/sympy#createroom. This is useful if you want to keep your GSoC meetings separate from the main Gitter chat.

[Aaron Meurer]

One more request for all the accepted students. Can you go to
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2017-Report and add a link to
your blog, and a link to wherever your weekly meetings will be (such
as the Gitter chat room, or the meeting minutes if you meet offline).
I have already added them for Gaurav, as an example. Also feel free to
clean up the formatting on that page if you are so inclined.

[Arihant Parsoya]

I am unable to create separate chat room on gitter. After clicking `create` button, nothing happens.

[Abdullah Javed Nesar]

Yes, even I was facing the same problem.

[Aaron Meurer]

Maybe you have to have admin access to do it. Can you tell me the name
of the room you want to create?

It seems like I can't create a room (or I am simply failing to figure out how to do so).
Could you add a room called "codegen-gsoc17"?

Björn Dahlgren

[Arihant Parsoya]

thanks

[Isuru Fernando]

I created https://gitter.im/sympy/codegen-gsoc17
