Google Summer of Code/2015

GSoC 2015 With BRL-CAD

BRL-CAD was accepted as a mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code!

We accepted 12 exceptional students that prepared quality proposals and demonstrated commitment through quality patches. Once again as an umbrella org, 4 of those students were selected for associated orgs LibreCAD, LinuxCNC, STEPcode, and OpenSCAD.
