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 eight students have
been accepted to work on SymPy/SymEngine. The following projects have been
accepted:
Student (Project): Mentors
Srajan Garg (Adding to SymEngine's Polynomial functionality and interfacing it
with FLINT & Piranha): Isuru Fernando, Sumith
Kshitij Saraogi (Extending solveset): Amit Kumar, Harsh Gupta
Gaurav Dhingra (Group Theory): Kalevi Suominen, Aaron Meurer
Shekhar Prasad Rajak (Solvers - Completing Solveset): Harsh Gupta, Amit Kumar
Siddharth Bhat (Haskell Bindings to SymEngine): Ondřej Čertík, Shivam Vats
Subham Tibra (Implementation of Holonomic Function in SymPy): Ondřej Čertík,
Kalevi Suominen
Sampad Kumar Saha (Implementation of Singularity Functions to solve Beam
Bending problems): Jason Moore, Sartaj Singh
Nishant Nikhil (Implementing Finite Fields and Set module in SymEngine):
Sumith, Ondřej Čertík
Additionally, one project was accepted under the PSF:
James Brandon Milam (Base Class and Increased Efficiency for Equation of
Motion Generators): Angadh Nanjangud, Oliver Lee, Thomas Johnston, and Jason
Moore
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 mentor soon to discuss how you will be communicating over the summer
about your project. You should meet with your mentor 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.
Some of you have been assigned two mentors. They will both work to keep you
on track for different aspects of your proposal. If you have two mentors and
one is not available for something, or does not know the answer, you can ask
the other.
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 23 (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 mentor or I
will email you to remind you about it.
I will also blog throughout the summer on own blog at
https://asmeurer.github.io. I invite other mentors who have blogs to do the
same. And 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!

(https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5131000665341952/):
Rajith Vidanaarachchi (Ruby Wrappers for SymEngine): Abinash Meher,
Ondřej Čertík
https://github.com/sympy/planet-sympy
Follow the instructions in the README. If something does not work, let me know.
The way it works is that this repository has a source file to a docker
image, that fully builds (and includes the planet software and config
for all the blogs). Sumith and I are in the process of hosting this
docker image, hope to get it setup in a few days. Here is the issue
for it:
https://github.com/sympy/planet-sympy/issues/1
In the meantime you can build the image on your computer and browse
the planet sympy locally on your computer as local html pages. If
anyone wants to help out get the issue #1 finished, let me know.
