GSoC Introduction

2020-03-12 Thread Charlie Phillips
 Hi,

I'm Charlie Phillips, a High School Senior at Florida's Suncoast Community
High School. Although I am not currently enrolled in an undergraduate
program, I am in the process of selecting the University that I will pursue
my computer science undergraduate degree and I anticipate that I will be
eligible for participating to Google's Summer School of Code for 2020.

During the past two years, I have been working with GNU Radio software for
programming software-defined radio platforms (such as PlutoSDR and LimeSDR)
in I-SENSE and the Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science at Florida Atlantic University under the supervision of
Dr. George Sklivanitis. I have experience on testing basic digital signal
processing concepts by implementing Out-Of-Tree modules in GNU Radio, and I
am proficient in C++ and Python.

Part of my work at Florida Atlantic University included experimentation
with gr-lora for command and control of unmanned sea-surface vehicles and
simulation of a binary FSK transceiver for underwater acoustic
communications. I was wondering if the development of a  a new module
"gr-underwater" for simulation and emulation of underwater acoustic links
would be of interest to the GNU Radio community.

I look forward to your feedback.

Thanks,
Charlie Phillips

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has tried to use GNU Radio with the Amazon ground
stations. What was the experience?

Regards,
Moses.

Hi Siddhartha,

thanks for your interest in GNU Radio. I sounds like you have just the
right skill-set to really have fun here.

To answer your questions 1 and 2 I'd like to refer you to our wiki [1].
Check-out the page GSoCStudentInfo. Contact me if you have any further
questions.
For Qt I personally don't have any specific recommendations (it's been a
while since I learned it). But there is tones of stuff on the internet -
even for using it from Python (PyQt5 is what we're using).

Hi Charlie,

I was writing a much longer email, but let's first get the formal
blocker out of the way:

You need to upload a proof of enrollment before you can even upload
your proposal to the GSoC website. The latter needs to happen by March
31, no exceptions. Will that work out for you? A 19 day timeframe from
"I anticipate I will be eligible" to "I'm definitely eligible, here's
my proof of enrollment (not: acceptance)" sounds ambitious. 

**Will** that work out? If it won't, it might be smarter to prepare
this for the coming year. 

Best regards,
Marcus
