After a detailed [[Summer_of_Code/Proposal_Evaluation|evaluation and review]] period, we requested and were approved to mentor four students for the 2008 Google Summer of Code.  Our students were selected from among nearly two dozen applicants based on their potential as a new long-term developer, their ability to communicate effectively, the quality of their project proposal, their technical ability, and our ability to effectively mentor them.

:Mentored by Daniel Roßberg, Timothy's project aims to implement two primitives that have been requested numerous times over the years: sweep and revolve.  These two primitives provide a wide range of modeling benefits including the ability to express various complex shapes more intuitively and easily.  Such shapes that will become readily possible to construct include lathe shapes, cables, blends, carved shapes, and much more.

You can see our [[Google_Summer_of_Code/2008/Project_Ideas|Project Ideas]] page for a list of project suggestions that were suggested to be of particular interest to our mentors for 2008.  There were several [http://brlcad.org/~sean/ideas.html other areas] of development that are of high-interest as well.  Students were welcome to submit their own unique ideas as well and were encouraged to collaborate with our mentors on formulating those projects.  Student applications for GSoC 2008 were accepted on Google's project website between March 24 and March 31 at http://code.google.com/soc/2008/
