Accepted projects – Google Summer of Code 2014
- wavelander 13y agoI got accepted ! How awesome is that ?
- tosinaf 13y agoNice congrats!!
- gallamine 13y agoWhat project?
- wavelander 13y agoMlpack. Multi-Class Adaboost implementation.
- tharshan09 13y agoMe too! It is indeed very awesome.
- rayiner 13y agoCongrats! Its an absolutely awesome experience. Take advantage of the mentorship you get, because unless you go into academia you may not have a lot of opportunities to have an experienced engineer field your questions and review your work in a setting where there isn't "real job" deadline pressure. Also: This makes me feel so old, as an '05 participant.
- manish_gill 13y agoGrats! GSoC was some of the hardest work I've ever done. And it was very satisfying indeed. Good luck on your project. :)
- krzysz00 13y agoI also got accepted to work on Unicode support in SBCL!
- oldgun 13y agoSorry I didn't make it. Goodbye Gsoc. I will still love you tho.
- sorpaas 13y agoSad. I didn't make it either...
- EnderMB 13y agoI remember signing up to GSoC to work on a Java forum for an open-source wiki tool and not getting in. It sucked, but it pushed me to apply for another scheme and eventually I landed an internship in a local business using ASP.NET and I fell in love with C#. 5-6 years later, I still write C# and I'm very happy. At the time I'd have chosen GSoC over the other internship scheme, but ultimately I think it all worked out very nicely for me. When one door closes, another usually opens.
- chm 13y agoCongratulations to everybody! I wanted to participate but I learned about GSoC last week when reading through some Julia documentation. I would have been happy to work on their linear algebra related projects. Maybe next year!
- jontro 13y agoI was surprised to not see DragonflyBSD on that list. They have been accepted all previous years.
- justincormack 13y agoThey seem to be deliberately dropping projects that have had people before in favour of new ones this year.
- dokem 13y agoThat site is just as unusable as back when I did SOC and Code In a few years ago. Just browsing that list already had me frustrated.
- gojomo 13y agoWell, at least there are two projects to address Melange usability... "Responsive Layout" https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/gsoc2014/ua13dark/5812572515205120 https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/g... "Improving Student flow/experience in Melange" https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/gsoc2014/kira_111/5685265389584384 https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/g...
- dag11 13y agoUsability, especially with lists, is something we're definitely working on improving.
- justincormack 13y agoWell a static page so that ^F works properly would be a start.
- neolefty 13y agoIs it updating dynamically? I see lines popping in occasionally without reloading the page ...
- elwell 13y agohaha I was thinking the same thing. it's just a long load i guess
- noel82 13y agoOnce upon a time, a feature called "Pagination"...
- nmikz 13y agoI wish had known about the event a bit earlier since I am graduating in a couple of months..
- Danieru 13y agoSuper excited about this year. I'm implementing the new Internet Printing Protocol over USB standard for Linux.
- justinmk 13y agoGlad to see Guile Emacs returning: > Complete the integration of Guile and Emacs. https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/gsoc2014/bpt/5803402760028160 https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/g...
- thomasvarney723 13y agoIs it possible to participate in SoC if you're not currently enrolled?
- wavelander 13y agoI've put this up for people who got selected and want to connect with fellow HNers. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7623598 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7623598 Maybe we can do something better.

- tharshan09 13y agoReally happy I got accepted. I am graduating this year and this was my last chance to do this. This also gives me plenty of time to job hunt :) https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/gsoc2014/tharshan09/5685265389584384 https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/g...
- vorg 13y agoSome mentors are looking after more than one project. Let's hope they can give the required attention to each project. Let's also hope the corporate managers who sponsored the projects in the first place allow those mentors to take sufficient time away from their charge out time to adequately mentor the students involved and be more able to ensure the project is a success. Allowing mentors adequate time out to assist the students is more important than squeezing every euro of bonus money out of them.
