Congrats to GSoC students!

https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5488108272877568/

Our accepted students are:

@DestinyGamer243 - Intuitive Skeleton tool for Synfig Studio
@saurabh22 - Improvements for Lottie exporter plugin
@ayesdie - CMake Build System

Thanks to everyone who applied. We had many great applications and wanted to accept more students, but this was our allotment from Google. Hopefully, the other good students who had made themselves part of our projects will stay involved if they are able, and there’s always next year.

Important for all accepted students: Please make sure to create a topic for your project in Development section on this forum and use this topic to write a short report about progress every week, answering those questions:

  • How was the last week? What did you accomplish?
  • What is the #1 thing slowing you down?
  • What do you want to have done by the end of next week?

This is mandatory thing when coding period start, but I recommend to start the topic earlier. :slight_smile:

To all mentors:

As you probably know, Google pays to our organization $500 for every student. The payment is done at the end of coding period. Since we got some funds on our OpenCollective account, I thought it would be good if primary mentors can request partial payment for their work at the end of each month.

@ice0 @AnishG Please feel free to request amount up to $170 for June mentorship. You can do that via “Submit Expence” button on this page.

The request form is very simple, you might notice that I already submitted one request and got payment passed. Please feel free to use my request as reference - https://opencollective.com/synfig/expenses/21867 :slight_smile:

Can we also use this forum topic as our final submission link?

I’m asking this because the link of the title changes when the title of the topic changes.

Normally, the site can handle properly redirections itself, not taking account of the middle part

Your previous post was

it can be translated without problem from

For the start of this thread, simply use https://forums.synfig.org/t/10545
You can also use the permalink as https://forums.synfig.org/t/gsoc-2020-google-summer-of-code-2020, but yes, in such a case, if the title changes, the link is broken :wink:

Hi @Sagar2366,

I am Saksham Mittal, a 3rd year CSE student at NIT Delhi, I have good hands-on experience in Python, Django, Docker, AWS, DevOps, Flutter.

I am interested to work on the project " *Cloud rendering platform", I have thoroughly gone through the requirements of the project and the expected result and find myself capable to start with the project. Can you guide me on how to proceed with it?

Thanks

Hi @saksham1991999!

Unfortunately this year GSoC projects time is limited to ~175 hr, and “Cloud rendering platform” was planned for 300+ hours. But you can follow new GSoC 2021 thread maybe you find something for you.
https://forums.synfig.org/t/gsoc-2021-google-summer-of-code-2021/

Thank you for your attention.

Hi @ice0!

I was passionate about developing the “Cloud rendering platform” using the skills I am familiar with. I understand that the project was planned for 300+ hours and this year GSoC projects time is limited to 175 hours only. Since I am very much excited about this project and wanted to start with it now only so that I could thoroughly go through the project requirements and identify the developing strategy, I was willing to dedicate more than 300+ hours and ready to start with the project beforehand, and looking forward to dedicating more than 300 hours also if required to complete the project.

Thanks for considering my previous query.
