Google's "Summer of Code" is on again. If you're not familiar with GSoC, see: http://code.google.com/soc/ We had a brief discussion on IRC, and we have enough potential mentors to make it worth applying again. Org applications are open Feb 3rd-14th. Accepted orgs are announced on Feb 24th, and students can apply between March 10th and 21st, but the keen ones have already

The main priorities right now are: * Refreshing the list of project ideas. I've done some cleaning up, but

Google are running their Summer of Code again this year. If you're not familiar with it, see: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/ Last year was very successful and I think we probably want to apply again this year, assuming there are a sufficient number of people interested in mentoring to make it worthwhile. Org application open on 19th (this Thursday) though the deadline is

The deadline for students to apply has now passed (it was 19:00 UTC on March 25th). Many thanks you to all who applied. This year Xapian received 31 completed proposals (exactly the same total as when we last took part in 2014), plus another 2 we only had a draft version of. Two were total junk, proposing to implement something unrelated to Xapian and presumably submitted verbatim to several

Google are holding a GSoC "Doc Camp" this year the week before the annual mentor summit - the dates for Doc Camp are 17-21 October, and the location is Google HQ in Mountain View, California, USA. A major part of this will be several Book Sprints for writing Quick Start guides for specific organisations taking part in GSoC. They're currently inviting proposals, and I'd like to

Hello everyone, I have recently completed my engineering in Computer Science. I came across Xapian while looking for GSoC organisations. I was browsing through the ideas page and it was written that you would be willing to mentor anyone interested in working on those projects. I am interested in this: http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/GSoCProjectIdeas#Project:LearningtoRank and this:

Hi everyone, We've decided to apply for this year's Google Summer of Code. Xiph.org has taken part before, so we hope to get at least one or two, maybe even 3 students. If we get chosen we need project ideas and mentors though. We've already started to collect some ideas that would hopefully be sized for students here: https://wiki.xiph.org/Summer_of_Code_2015 That page also lists

The Letor project involves descent amount of Machine Learning while all the ranking related projects are around IR. Its better to introduce your idea on mailing list where all the mentors can have a detailed look at it, potential mentors can respond and the idea is kind of registered under your name.

Hi Tejas, Thank you for your interest in Letor project in Xapian. We would definitely like to consider Letor for this year's GSoC project. What I would suggest you is, start playing with the code and get acquainted with it. The latest code can be obtained from http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/ GSoC2012/LTR Regards, Parth.
