Re: [matplotlib-devel] GSOC 2013 (Google Summer Of Code)

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

I'm not aware of any discussion about participating in GSoC this year, 
though I am open to the idea.  I was involved as a mentor a few years 
ago, but I wasn't terribly involved in the administrative side, so I 
don't know what's involved.  I think then we did it under the umbrella 
of the PSF.

I'd be interested in exploring a GL backend further.  What, from 10,000 
m, is the main impedence mismatch between the current matplotlib backend 
design and OpenGL rendering?

I would like to propose something around a GL backend but I'm not still sure OpenGL "philosophy" is compatible with current matplotlib design and any project would require co-mentoring with a matplotlib devel guru. There is a lot of experienced people around (Luke Campagnola, Cyrille Rossant, Almar Klein to name a few) who can help on the GL part and we're also currently trying to design together a common low-level API that may definitely help for the GL backend. What do you think ? Do we need first to make sure a GL backend make any sense at all before going further ?
