Hello, I am pleased to announce that three students will be working on GCC or GCC-related Google Summer of Code (GSoC) projects in 2020:
- Giuliano Belinassi will be working on "Automatic Detection of Parallel Compilation Viability." This project will be mentored by Richard Biener and Jan Hubička. - John Ravi will work on "General Jobserver Client/Server Library" and be mentored by Martin Liška and Nathan Sidwell. - Tony Sim has embarked on " Implementing the OMPD interface" in libgomp, his project will be mentored by Jakub Jelínek and myself. I'd like to congratulate all of them for putting together very solid proposals and wish them best of luck with their projects. All accepted students which do not already have one must request a copyright assignment[1] as soon as possible. Giuliano has it from last year but I suspect that John and Tony do not. Please email the following information to ass...@gnu.org and they will send you the assignment form for your past and future changes. Use your full legal name (in ASCII characters) as the subject line of the message. The "the program or package" is of course GCC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- REQUEST: SEND FORM FOR PAST AND FUTURE CHANGES [What is the name of the program or package you're contributing to?] [Did you copy any files or text written by someone else in these changes? Even if that material is free software, we need to know about it.] [Do you have an employer who might have a basis to claim to own your changes? Do you attend a school which might make such a claim?] [For the copyright registration, what country are you a citizen of?] [What year were you born?] [Please write your email address here.] [Please write your postal address here.] [Which files have you changed so far, and which new files have you written so far?] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please report back to me when you have completed the process and also if you encounter any issues and/or unreasonably long delays. The GSoC program has now entered its "community bonding period" which lasts until June 1st. During this time you should get in touch with your mentors unless you have already done so and probably start looking a bit more at GCC in general. Because GCC targets many computer platforms, you may also find it very useful to get an account on the compile farm[2] so that you can test your code on a variety of architectures. Last but not least, feel free to raise any question you might have on an appropriate mailing list[3] or say hi to us on the gcc development IRC channel [4]. If you have any concerns or questions regarding the organizational part of GSoC 2020 or just don't know who else to reach out to, feel free to contact me throughout the duration of the program. Once more, congratulations and good luck!
