GSoC Application Proposal: Improve (free) module implementations

[Noel Roemmele]

Hello SageMath Team

My name is Noel Roemmele. I have been working on sage for 3 months and I wanted to sign up for GSoC. I have been working under one professor at the University of Lethbridge, Dave Morris. I currently have 13 merged pull requests and 7 open pull requests. I have found working on SageMath to be very fun, so I wanted to work on a bigger project. In speaking to my professor, it seems like the three proposals that would work well with my background are Improve (free) module implementations, Create an interface to the SmallGrp database, and Paths and cycles enumeration methods in graphs. I have drafted a partial application proposal with the Personal and Background part filled out for the Improve (free) module implementations proposal, which I have attached. However, I think I would need to speak with one of the mentors more in drafting up the project part of the proposal. Overall, I'm excited to continue contributing to SageMath with or without GSoC.

Thank you,

Noel Roemmele

Hi Noel,

   Thank you for all the contributions you have done so far. We are looking forward to your continued contributions.

First, let me say that the general idea I posted about the project is probably beneath your skill level since it largely revolves around refactoring classes. It's a somewhat annoying technical project that needs to be done, doesn't require a lot of skills, but just needs to have a good plan.

In your case, I would discuss with Dave what would be a good project. In particular, you do not have to stick to the projects listed on the ideas page. We give all submissions full consideration.

Best,

Travis
