GSoC 2017: accepted proposals

Congratulations!

Congratulations! It is most valuable to have the possibility to enter the development of FreeCAD.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to everybody who has been accepted, and thanks to those who have not. Please stay around anyway, there will be fun outside the GSOC too :wink:

@jnxd, @amrit3701, @m42kus, what would you guys think of opening a thread here on the forum, that would act as a kind of blog (basically where you would write a bit of your process, for everybody here to see), or even start a real blog, like @kkremitzki is starting in https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=22285 ?

I think that could create something great around your projects, and get everybody here more involved… Last year that was done to a certain extent on the BRL-CAD site (which requires you guys to do that anyway, I think), but people here on the forum (which is our one and only true home) only received some distant echoes, and didn’t have a chance to get really involved. Plus that would make it easier to spread the word on the FreeCAD social network accounts, etc…

I was thinking of setting up a blog for myself, but I guess it could take some time. A thread should work as a temporary place for the log then, or, since it is the one true somewhat place for freecad, a permanent one.

Thanks! Glad to be part of this :slight_smile:

I think that’s a nice idea. Starting a “blog” on the forum should be no problem, I planned to post regular updates anyway. To spread word about FreeCAD an external blog help a lot I think. Sharing a link to a blog-post would probably be received better than a link to the forum (for people not part of the community that is). Anyway, I never had a blog but maybe this is a good time to start one…

For now I decided that I won’t create a blog. Instead I created a “Activity-Log” topic in which I will post regular updates about my progress and other news. It can be found inside the Fem Sub-Forum (https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=22576).

Excellent, thanks guys! I think this will make a very big difference over last year.

@amrit3701 I think only you still missing the party :wink:

Pardon for the late reply. :slight_smile:
I will write my daily activity log on BRL-CAD wiki (http://brlcad.org/wiki/User:Amritpal_singh/GSoC17/logs) and important blog related to my GSoC project on https://amritpals.com.
