Ahoj, rad bych vsechny upozornil na soutez Summer of Code in Space od Evropske Kosmicke Agentury. Letosni rocnik zacina pro studenty 18. 7., kdy se maji prihlasit, a od zacatku srpna pak bude jiz vlastni prace.
Sam jsem se lonskeho rocniku zucastnil a byl jsem vybran, tak vam z vlastni zkusenosti muzu rict, ze to stoji za to. Clovek si vybere open-source projekt spojeny s vyzkumem vesmiru (jejich seznam se objevi na webu souteze), rozmysli se, cim by ten software chtel vylepsit, a nabidne to. Kdyz ma stesti, tak si ho organizace, ktera soft vyviji, vybere. Pak nasleduje nejake to dohadovani a vyjednavani o rozhrani toho softu a samotna prace. Jsou na ni tusim tri mesice, ja to zvladnul za cca mesic. Nevim, jak to bude letos, ale loni byla odmena pro kazdeho 4000€. A mne navic mentor (Brockmann-Consult GmBH) pozval na "exkurzi" k nim do Hamburgu, kde jsme zaroven domluvili presnou specifikaci =)
Kdybyste se nekdo zucastnil, muzete mi napsat PM, at jsme v kontaktu :)
Pozor, neplest s Google Summer of Code. Tam to funguje jinak, Google necha lidi (aspon myslim) nejdriv prgat a az pak vybira, kdo dostane € ci $. ESA na to jde jinak - vybere lidi s kvalitnimi napady, tem prislibi €, a necha je prgat (je tam teda nejaka pojistka, ze s tim samozrejme musi byt spokojeni, coz ale nedela problemy =) ).
Jeste prikladam oficialni zvaci mail na letosni rocnik:
ESA Summer of Code in Space 2012: In Space no one can hear you code
=========================================================
The 2012 ESA Summer of Code In Space (SOCIS) starts!Mentoring organization (i.e. open source space-related projects) that
want to participate can apply from now until 15/07/2012.Modeled after the Google Summer of Code, SOCIS is an European Space
Agency (ESA) initiative and offers students the opportunity to be paid
to develop open source code for space related open source projects.Code like you have never done before: this summer, participate to
SOCIS either as a student developer or as a mentoring organization.
ESA Summer of Code in Space (SOCIS) is an initiative supportedof the
European Space Agency (ESA) and offers student developers stipends to
write code for various space-related open source software projects.Through SOCIS, accepted student applicants are paired with a mentor or
mentors from the participating projects, thus gaining exposure to real-
world software development scenarios. In turn, the participating
projects are able to more easily identify and bring in new developers.
In addition, this program constitutes an opportunity to connect
students with an interest of the space-industry
with several software companies.The program is inspired by (but not affiliated or related in any way
to) Google's Summer of Code initiative, and has been designed with the
following objectives in mind:
a. raise the awareness of open source projects related to space
within the open source programming community, especially among
students;
b. raise awareness of ESA within the open-source community;
c. improve existing space-related open-source software.
d. find new talents for developing space applicationsTo learn more about the program, check out the time-line, visit our
documentation center, or head to our mailing list.We hope you will be part of the project this year !
