Under this program, Google funds students to write code for open source projects during the northern hemisphere's summer timeframe. TARDIS, a scientific code to study exploding stars, participates in this program to get young minds engaged in scientific software development. The process is as follows: |
| * The student writes a project proposal for TARDIS. | * The student writes a project proposal for TARDIS. | ||
| * Sometimes their project idea caters to something that the TARDIS collaboration suggests and sometimes it's an idea entirely of the student's conception. | * Sometimes their project idea caters to something that the TARDIS collaboration suggests and sometimes it's an idea entirely of the student's conception. | ||

| - | ==== The Selection Process ==== | + | We have compiled some background information about TARDIS and the science we do with it as well as some of our suggested projects for GSoC 2016 on the **[[ideas_page|Ideas Page]]**. |
| - | GSoC is about getting people involved and contributing to open source over the long-term. As such, we heavily weight our application selection process towards students that are interested in remaining involved in BRL-CAD and open source software development long after GSoC has ended. | + | You are also welcome to come up with your own project ideas and discuss them with the TARDIS mentors. We're here to help you become new open source developers, so don't be shy if you have any questions. The best way to get in contact is to chat with us on [[https://gitter.im/tardis-sn/tardis|Gitter]]. Our mailing list [[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tardis-gsoc-2016|tardis-gsoc-2016@googlegroups.com]] is primarily for announcements from the TARDIS collaboration. |

| **GSoC is not a job!** If you think this is just a summer job, then GSoC is probably not for you. It's only like a job in terms of planning your time commitment over the summer. | **GSoC is not a job!** If you think this is just a summer job, then GSoC is probably not for you.
