We have a few projects ideas and we would love to be able to participate under the NumFOCUS umbrella.

👍 for conda-forge participate on GSoC.

@rgaiacs conda-forge will come under other projects right? (It's not a sponsored or affiliated project with NumFOCUS)

@ocefpaf It would be great if you could add more details to the ideas page. It will be a great help to prospective students. Every project idea should follow this format roughly.

  • Project description: Make sure you have a high-level description that any student can understand, as well as deeper details.

  • Skills: programming languages? specific domain knowledge?

  • Difficulty level: Easy/Intermediate/Hard classification (students ask for this info frequently to help them narrow down their choices. Difficulty levels are something google wants to see, so they aren't optional; make your best guess.)

  • Related Readings/Links: was there a mailing list discussion about this topic? standards you want the students to read first? bugs/feature requests?

  • Potential mentors: A list of mentors likely to be involved with this project, so students know who to look for on IRC/mailing lists if they have questions. (If you've had trouble with students overwhelming specific mentors, feel free to re-iterate here if students should contact the mailing list to reach all mentors.)

Have a look at https://github.com/weecology/retriever/wiki/GSoC-2017-Project-Ideas

Thanks :)

should be cleared first with @aterrel

That is why we opened this issue 😄

Yes I would prefer that we get conda-forge to be an affiliated project.

Ping @jjhelmus 😉

@aterrel to clarify. NumFOCUS is OK to sponsor conda-forge for GSoC this year and encourages them to become an affiliated project? Or should they first become an affiliated project?

Let's ask them to fill out the one pager and get them on the website

Happy to start the process. Just let me know where I can get it the one-pager.
