| + | Your chances with a smaller org like BRL-CAD are generally far greater than with one of the larger more notable organizations. |
| | | |
− | Students discussed and collaborated with BRL-CAD developers on formulating projects with most selecting from a detailed list of project suggestions from our [[Google_Summer_of_Code/Project_Ideas|Project Ideas]] page. Student applications for [[Google_Summer_of_Code|GSoC]] were accepted at http://socghop.appspot.com from March 26th until April 6th.
| + | We won't know how many slots we will accept this year until after the submission deadline but chances are ''really good'' if it's obvious that you're passionate about working on BRL-CAD long after GSoC is over. We're looking to grow our developer community, not scratch a summer job itch. |
