CVAT.ai team: GSoC 2024 CVAT.ai shortlist

[Nikita Manovich]

Hi everyone,

I want to express my gratitude to all the candidates who took the time to submit their proposals to our team and send us PRs. Your contributions are greatly appreciated and are a significant step towards enriching the open-source community. However, we can only select a limited number of projects, and the GSoC committee may also restrict the number of slots available for our project.

After careful consideration of various factors such as the quality of PRs, community collaboration, test results for JS and Python, and the overall quality of proposals, we have narrowed down our list of candidates for the next stage:

- Vidit Agarwal; Quality Control: Consensus
- tahamukhtar20; Keyboard shortcuts customization
- ccinv, chanbong, Yeek Sheng; Add or Extend Support for Import-Export Formats
- Ritik Raj, Umang P; API keys and token-based auth for SDK and CLI

For the topics "Add or Extend Support for Import-Export Formats" and "API keys and token-based auth for SDK and CLI," only one candidate per topic will be selected.

I will be arranging short non-technical interviews this week with each candidate on the shortlist. During these interviews, we will discuss your readiness to participate in GSoC, your expectations, your proposal, career aspirations, and more. Please prepare a slide outlining your roadmap and be prepared to explain in 5-10 minutes how you plan to implement your proposal, key milestones, primary challenges, and so forth.
