[ompl-users] OMPL Google Summer of Code

[Mark M. <mm...@ri...>]

Hi all,

We have been accepted as a mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code 2014.

• Check the Google SoC website [1] for general information about the Google Summer of Code. If you are not familiar with the Summer of Code, it is essentially a tele-commuting internship, where you get paid by Google and mentored by developers from an open source project.
• Please consult the official timeline [2] when you prepare your proposal. The deadline for applications is March 21, 2014. It is *HIGHLY* recommended you discuss your application with me way before the deadline.

We have put together a list of ideas [3], but we are open to other suggestions. Even if you have no interest in participating in the Google Summer of Code, let us know what you would like to see added to OMPL.

Please email me if interested. Include a resume, describe any relevant programming experience, and list relevant classes you have taken. Please also indicate which project(s) you are interested in.

We participated last year for the first time. Thanks to our two excellent students, we now have (1) a way to use OMPL within Blender and (2) a general framework for cost-optimizing planning and several planners that can use this framework.
