Hi everyone, just a quick notice concerning GSoC: It has officially begun, and the students who were accepted have been announced.
A full list can be found here: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2013/gnuradio We had a huge number of proposals this year, and it was quite hard to pick 5 students. Without going into details, we sorted all proposals by our own grading system and waited until the number of slots was announced, then picked the first 5. There were certainly more than 5 fantastic proposals, and it's a bit sad that we couldn't take more people. I would like to thank everyone for applying. I also want to thank all mentors for volunteering and helping with the grading and selection of students. Special thanks goes out to Jens, who volunteered to mentor two students. This made it possible to simply pick the top 5 students from our list without having to find a backup mentor or arbitrarily changing our priority order. A little stat on the side: An incredibly high percentage of applications were for the LDPC codes. Why they are so much more interesting than all the other projects remains a mystery to me, but it seems we have some code afficionados here. Perhaps some of you are willing to put in some time to write some other FEC code? We only have 5 GSoC slots, but that doesn't mean you can't contribute :) Of course, that goes for all students. I do hope you are all genuinely interested in the GNU Radio project and we will see you around. So, the summer of code starts now! I certainly hope that we have 5 successful projects this year and 5 more contributors in the future. MB -- Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) Communications Engineering Lab (CEL) Dipl.-Ing.
