[Orekit Developers] SOCIS 2012

[MAISONOBE Luc <luc.maisonobe@c-s.fr>]

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
