We have participated in the GSoC program last year, in 2007. We had an exciting time during the prep period, had some very good students and some very bad students during the main stretch, and we got some significant results in the end. | |||
We had 7 students and 3 mentors in total. One of our students has become an active, regular developer in the team (Buddha) after having his code integrated in the codebase. Two students' code contributions have also been integrated in the mainline (FSapi & toolsgui). Two more (mixer & decompiler) have their code still in development to improve it and make it production-ready, either through optimization or extension and better integration. Two students failed to keep up with the schedule and/or produced inadequate code. | |||
For us, every slot we are assigned is valuable. It is easy enough to flunk students if their result are not good enough but this hinders the impact we want GSoC to have on ScummVM. Hence, a common belief shared by the participating mentors last year is that we should engage the students early on, during the application period, to determine their commitment and eagerness to follow through their proposals. | |||
