Re: [Orekit Developers] SOCIS 2012



Luc,

Some questions:

1. Does the student come to the CS office in Toulouse at all or does he only work from home?
2. Do we assume that the student brings his own Eclipse/Java environment?

3. Will CS work with local university to try to find students for this program?
regards,

Paul

Hi all,

As some of you may already know, ESA organizes a Summer Of Code In Space (SOCIS). The web site for the event is here: <http://sophia.estec.esa.int/socis2012/>.
Last year, Orekit was selected as one of the open-source projects to 
mentor a student. Our student did a great job and developed an Android 
application based on Orekit. This application is available in the 
Orekit forge. The binary package is here: 
<https://www.orekit.org/forge/projects/socis-2011/files>, and the 
source code is here: 
<https://www.orekit.org/forge/projects/socis-2011/repository>.
This year, we also proposed several subjects for SOCIS. The subjects 
alreay submitted are on the wiki: 
<https://www.orekit.org/forge/projects/orekit/wiki/SOCIS>.
If someone is interested in proposing additional subjects and 
mentoring a student, please tell us so. Please note that if you want 
to propose a subject, you should also take care of the mentoring for 
the student. This is not a huge task and mainly involves providing 
help for getting started with Orekit, answering questions by mail, 
monitoring progress and providing a short final evaluation of the 
student to ESA. Students work from their home and ESA take care of 
funding the student work, so mentors only need to provide some time.
best regards,
Luc
