Dear Mr or Miss: I'm a student who wants to apply for the GSoC project 2009. I have looked throught the idea page and I'm interested in " boundary representation support" .I noticed that this idea is in the "Additional Projects",not the"High Priority Projects".Are there any differences between the two kinds of project ? Would you be so kind to give me some explaination or detail information ? Waiting for your write back. Thanks! |

杨阳, Actually, that's probably one of the few "additional ideas" that is just as easily a high-priority project. As stated on the ideas page: "[Additional Projects] will generally require a very well thought out proposal and a fair bit of discussion beforehand to be considered over one of the higher-priority projects listed above BUT they are certainly all very interesting and desirable projects worth considering. Saying they are additional isn't meant to be discouraging. A great proposal from a student that is passionate about their idea is a major and dominant consideration factor." Basically, say the final decision came down to two "perfect" applications from two "perfect" students, but one applied to a high- priority and the other for one of the additional projects. All things being equal, we'd pick the high-priority applicant. Fortunately, though, they never are equal. A very strong and passionate application has a great change no matter what is proposed. So please do propose working on boundary representation support! If you have any questions, please do speak up. Cheers!

Did you guys even accomplish anything during the 2008 GSoC? I don't remember reading a follow-up on that. I thought a additional GUI was being worked on or something.

Absolutely, there was quite a bit accomplished (the sources are available in the "brlcad" and "rt^3" module in our SVN repository)! For the GUI specifically, Manuel continued to work on it so far as his studies and personal family matters allowed. The progress he was able to make is part of the reason why we are still interested in having someone work on that task again this year. It was never expected that the project woluThere is also a separate MGED+Archer refactoring effort going on for the interim while the new GUI is worked on (given it's expected to take multiple years to bring to a production-quality state). The lack of a follow-up is more just me being overwhelmed with other tasks to write up a detailed report for the summer's activities. It's been started, just not finished yet. You're welcome to help instead of gripe. ;-) Cheers!

Oops, little bit of a curious mail fail there in the middle. It was never expected that the project would be 'finished' within just that summer as it's a multi-year effort to bring up a new GUI. As far as his project was concerned, he was quite successful and excellent progress was made. There is also a separate... [continue rest here] ... :-) The other projects did pretty great too with the addition of two new primitives and the working foundations for a parametric equation and constraint solving system that is still being worked on today. Even the struggling global illumination renderer ended up with the ability to render images. Some nice eye candy: http://brlcad.org/gallery/s/renderings/primitives/hyp.png.html http://brlcad.org/tmp/revolve.png You can read more about them on the wiki. http://brlcad.org/wiki/Developer_Documents Cheers!
