Hi all,
I'd like to congratulate and welcome Apoorv and Ben who have been accepted as this years GSoC 2013 students for SDL. [1] Apoorv will be working on the visual test automation, and Ben on a meta-build system project as per our ideas page. [2] You'll hear more about their GSoC work as students will be reaching out to the community via this list in the next few weeks and months as the projects progress. --Andreas References: [1] http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2013/05/students-announced-for-google-summer-of.html [2] http://www.libsdl.org/gsoc.php _______________________________________________ SDL mailing list http://lists.libsdl.org/listinfo.cgi/sdl-libsdl.org |

Congratulations to both of you, Apoorv and Ben, and good luck on your projects! But that means I didn’t get accepted for my proposal to improve the DirectFB backend and bring it OpenGL acceleration through KMS. I will still do it outside of the program because that’s something I really want to see in SDL, so it’s as if there was two and a half gsoc students. ^^ I will try to follow the timeline of my proposal, and will post on this list when I reach a major milestone, but since it is outside the program I will work at my own pace and certainly not full-time like initially planned. Anyway, I hope this will be a good experience, and that maybe I will get accepted next year for another proposal.

That's amazing, thanks! Several of the mentors (including myself ) were hoping for an extra slot to make this project possible, so it's great news that you intend to proceed anyway. I can't speak for the others, but anything you need let us know, I'll be happy to provide guidance, testing, etc.
Gabriel. |

Congratulations to both of you, Apoorv and Ben, and good luck on your
Emmanuel, That's nice to hear. If you do continue on, and work on this outside of GSoC, you should start a public repo on GitHub, Bitbucket or one of the many others and post your work there as you progress through it. This can then be pointed to in your application for GSoC2014 (if Google keeps running GSoC). That's one thing that potential mentors look at when evaluating dozens of proposals to pick out just the few that we are allotted by Google. Note that I'm note a mentor for SDL, but am a mentor for another org who uses SDL in their code. -scottmc |

Yes, congratulations guys, and Emmanuel, I'm glad to hear you're not letting Google keep you down.
I'm looking forward to each of your projects and will be following them avidly this summer.
Cheers! On Tue, May 28, 2013 at 9:33 AM, Emmanuel Gil Peyrot wrote:
