Hi all
from the timeline

February 19 - March 15

  • Potential GSoC contributors discuss application ideas with mentoring organizations

March 16 - 18:00 UTC

  • GSoC contributor application period begins

March 31 - 18:00 UTC

  • GSoC contributor application deadline

Those who think finished all the tasks, you can start writing your application.
Send a link to you google document with suggest option to:

pgrouting-mentors@osgeo.org

subject: github-id function name
Body:

  • include a link to your issue on the GSoC-pgRouting repo
  • attach: link to google doc allowing us to make suggestions.

example:
subject: cvvergara: pgr_foo
My intent of application is here: https://github.com/pgRouting/GSoC-pgRouting/issues/492

Note that:

  • It could happen that we don’t make suggestions
  • With so many people interested: I suggest an early start
  • At this stage we only check the proposal:
    • for completeness,
    • that there is no obvious AI involved.

Regards
Vicky

If you use AI, make sure you understand what was done by AI, and mention in your proposal what you used AI for. And don’t use it to do your whole proposal only use it as a helping tool.

Hello,

I just finished the application intent tasks and I’m starting on my proposal currently.

Since there are so many algorithms in the Boost Graph Library, are there any specific ones that are high priority for pgRouting right now? I’m open to tackling any graph algorithm, I just want to make sure I focus my proposal on something the community actually needs.

Thanks,
Ahmed
