<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hey gang,<br><br></div>It is GSoC application time again and we need project ideas and mentors for those projects. See <a href="http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/GSoC_2016" target="_blank">http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/GSoC_2016</a> for the idea list and do feel free to edit it directly if you like.<br><br>The
project ideas list is a key part of our application to have VTK taken
up and for students to be funded under GSoC. Since most students base their proposals
directly on ideas in it, it is also a big part of what we can expect to
get out of the summer.<br><br></div>So, if you've got ideas for things
that you would like to see college/graduate students do with or to VTK
over the summer, please add them to the list. Ideally the ideas should
have some sort of wow factor (like Andy Bauer's proposal last year for
motion amplification in VTK) in order to entice students to apply to VTK
over all the other organizations.<br><br></div>Each project needs at
least one mentor. Advisors should know VTK well and be able to commit to
spending something like two to six hours per week advising a remote
student. Keep in mind that the coaching and talent development aspect is
perhaps the most important goal of GSoC, so mentors should be able to
engage their students throughout and attempt to groom them to become
regular contributors.<br><br>thanks<div class=""><div id=":2c9" class="" tabindex="0"><img class="" src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif"></div></div><div><div class="gmail_signature">David E DeMarle<br>Kitware, Inc.<br>R&D Engineer<br>21 Corporate Drive<br>Clifton Park, NY 12065-8662<br>Phone: 518-881-4909</div></div>
