[darcs-users] Fwd: [Haskell-cafe] [haskell.org Google Summer of Code 2013] Approved Projects

[Guillaume Hoffmann]

Congratulations to BSRK Aditya and José Neder, our Google Summer of
Code students of 2013!

They will work until end of September on the following projects:

* <http://darcs.net/GSoC/2013-Darcsden>  ( BSRK Aditya, mentored by Ganesh )
* <http://darcs.net/GSoC/2013-BetterRecord> ( José Neder, mentored by me )

Soon they will start to blog about their projects, so stay tuned on
planet.darcs.net for updates!

Many thanks to Edward Kmett and Haskell.org for enabling darcs to have
two slots this year. (And Google of course).

Guillaume

We've worked our way through the project approval process for another
year. This year we accepted 9 projects for haskell.org in general and
are hosting 2 additional projects for darcs as an umbrella
organization.

haskell.org:

* Parallelise 'cabal build' by Mikhail Glushenkov, mentored by Johan Tibell
* Extending GHC to support building modules in parallel by Patrick
Palka, mentored by Thomas Schilling
* Communicating with mobile devices by Marcos Pividori, mentored by
Michael Snoyman
* Improve Haddock Markup and Capabilities by Fūzetsu, mentored by Simon Hengel
* Haskell Qt Binding Generator by Zhengliang Feng, mentored by Carter
Schonwald with help from Ian-Woo Kim
* Improve the feedback of the cabal-install dependency solver by
Martin Ruderer, mentored by Andres Löh
* Interactive-diagrams and a paste site with the ability for dynamic
rendering of diagrams by Dan Frumin, mentored by Luite Stegeman
* Overloaded record fields for GHC by Adam Gundry, mentored by Simon
Peyton-Jones
* Port Charts to use Diagrams by Jan Bracker, mentored by Tim Docker

darcs:

* Better record command for darcs by José Neder, mentored by Gillaume Hoffmann
* Enhancing Darcsden by BSRK Aditya, mentored by Ganesh Sittampalam

Students have from now through Jun 16th to get up to speed and get to
know their mentors.

And while the summer of code officially starts on Jun 17th, keep in
mind that the mid-term evaluations aren't that much farther behind,
starting July 29th, so you'll want to hit the ground running.

If you put in a project proposal and it wasn't accepted and/or you
would like feedback, please feel free to email me or contact me on the
#haskell-gsoc channel on irc.freenode.net. We received more proposals
than slots this year, and so we were forced to make a few hard
decisions. Shachaf Ben-Kiki is helping out as this year's backup
administrator and he should also be able to help out with
administrivia or questions as well.

I'd like to thank everyone for participating in the selection process
and I think we can look forward to another excellent summer of code!
