| - | Since 2011, the European Space Agency (ESA) has run an awesome open source software development program, called the [[http://sophia.estec.esa.int/socis/|Summer of Code in Space]] (SoCIS), which specifically targets ''students''. Under this program, ESA 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: | + | Since 2011, the European Space Agency (ESA) has run an awesome open source software development program, called the [[http://sophia.estec.esa.int/socis/|Summer of Code in Space]] (SoCIS), which specifically targets ''students''.

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 SoCIS has ended. | + | SoCIS is about getting people involved and contributing to open source over the long-term.

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