Application Template for GSoC

Short introduction of yourself

• Name
• Email
• Spring Forum user name
• Tell us your IRC nick with which you will use the group's IRC channel or your nick in the Game-Lobby.

Your Project

• Whats your goal? What do you want to archive?
• Why did you select the specific project?
• What makes you suited to carry the project?
• How many time do you plan to invest in the project before, during and after the Summer of Code (We expect full time 40h/week during GSoC, but better make this explicit)?
• Please provida a plan of how you will spent the time on the subtasks. At the beginning of GSoC you will require such a schedule and issue weekly progress in the weeks of GSoC.

Schedule

Set out here a schedule of milestones for your project - be realistic, because if accepted you will be expected to meet them as part of the mentor review process, upon which your student payment depends. You should aim to define a milestone roughly every week.

Do you have any other commitments during the summer? Bear in mind that commitment to the Summer of Code is a full-time one over the few weeks that the programme runs. If you have exams or other commitments, make sure you factor those in to your schedule and plan to catch up later. Future Extensions

After the summer, how would you envisage the project being extended in the future? No concrete plans are required here, just some ideas of where you might like to take the project later.

Your Skills

In your application let us know

• What platform do you use to code? Hardware specifications and operating system
• Did you code in C++/Lua, yes/no? what's your experience? Did you contribute to other similar projects?

You and Spring

• Were you involved in development for spring in the past? What was your contribution?
• Were you involved in other OpenSource development projects in the past? which, when and in what role?
• Why have you chosen your development idea and what do you expect from your implementation?

Prepare for the Project

• Set up your platform to build a GIT snapshot of the current state of Spring
• If you need help, ask on the forum, or in the IRC/lobby.
