Hello Alejandro! We have offered a few possible tasks for SoCiS, but ESA can only sponsor one student for Stellarium. During this year's SoCiS, another of the tasks will be implemented, which is currently of higher importance.
Plus, nobody had applied for the "irregular bodies" task so far, so if you still plan to do it after your exams, I will not hastily "take it away" and implement it myself before autumn, but we will happily wait for your solution. ;-) Thank you and best regards, Georg On Mo, 27.04.2015, 16:31, Alejandro Garcia Montoro wrote: > Dear Mr Zotti, > > Thank you for your answer and for all the tips about the implementation :) > > But I don't know if I understood the "1 seat only" issue.
