We have participated in the GSoC program for five years running, in 2007-2011.

In 2011, 4 team members mentored 2 students. Sadly, one gave up quickly, but the other succeeded in objectifying the CruisE engine, which really needed it. After stepping back to review our processes, we feel we can still consider them to be mature. The problem came from internal tension that we addressed by redefining the project management structure.
In 2011, 4 team members mentored 2 students. One student succeeded in objectifying the CruisE engine, which really needed it. The other student unfortunately gave up fairly quickly after starting work (although the work done was eventually merged into our main repository, after being worked on further by a team member). After stepping back to review our processes, we feel we can still consider them to be mature. Part of the problems which caused the student to quickly give up came from internal tensions, that we have since addressed by redefining the project management structure.


In 2010 we were granted 4 slots and had 6 mentors, thus we had nice backup mentoring for every student. All four passed the finals this time, and we merged in their code. One student still continues to contribute to the project. We addressed several long standing project needs and it was just excellent.
