Dear student,

If you are planning to write a GSOC 2024 proposal for Gridap, here is a list of references to help you strengthen your proposal:

1. Must-read ⚠️ NumFOCUS contributing students guide:
   Since Gridap participates as a sub-organisation of NumFOCUS, your proposals should follow these instructions.
2. Some examples of NumFOCUS proposals awarded in 2017 are available here.
3. The GSOC instructions from The Julia Language do not apply to us, but can give you some inspiration.
4. Advice from the Stochastic lifestyle blog.

Please, do not hesitate to comment on this issue, if you have any questions regarding the general application process under NumFOCUS. We also encourage you to open a dedicated issue to discuss and guide specifically your application with your mentors and the broader Gridap community. You can title the issue as GSOC 2024: [Preliminary proposal name].

Finally, you might find other interesting advice and examples, by searching through several GSOC organizations. Please, do share them with us! 😃

Confirmation needed: numfocus/gsoc#396
Google is not happy with our idea lists.

1. Be sure to include whether the project is a 175 hour (medium sized) or 350 hour (large project). If it can be either, please state that-per idea.
2. Your Ideas Page URL should be accessible to all and not require login. --- (Covered)
3. As we state in the Defining a Project Idea List section of the Mentor guide, please provide the following information for each idea:
   a) a project title/description
   b) more detailed description of the project (2-5+ sentences)
   c) expected outcomes
   d) skills required/preferred
   e) possible mentors
   f) expected size of project (175 or 350 hour)
   g) an easy, medium or hard difficulty rating of each project.

If you want to be selected this year I strongly suggest you make sure your Project Ideas list meets the above requirements ASAP.

Hi All! 👋

This is Devasmit, currently pursuing MS at UCLA. I would like to contribute for the project Adjoint-based PDE-constrained optimization for this year's GSOC. I have good prior experience in working on Phase-field modeling of dynamic brittle-fracture finite-element simulation and have also worked on executing distributed PDE solving using GridapDistributed.jl. I would like to have more discussion with the mentors of this project regarding the schedule of tasks and I am looking forward to it. (cc @oriolcg @fverdugo)

With best regards and thanks,
Yours sincerely,
Devasmit

Hey all! I am Arsh Sharma from India. I have previously worked as a JSoC student for the JuliaGeo community. The project GridapMakie.jl: visualization of Gridap.jl computations in Julia via Makie.jl sounds interesting and I would like to work towards it.

Thanks and Best,
Arsh

Currently, you have "Long (350hr) or Medium (175hr) depending on student expertise,"  but Google needs us to specify either 350 or 175 for logistical purposes.

Hi all,

I am Balaje, a PhD student in Mathematics. Saw the project list for Gridap.jl for GSoC 2021. I am interested in the topic - Gridap.jl data-driven applications via Flux.jl and wish to contribute. I have good experience implementing numerical methods for solving PDEs in other languages but new to Julia and Flux.

Thanks,
Balaje

P.S: A general question on the application process. Are the projects limited to the ones listed on the ideas page? Can we propose an idea as a student? Thanks.

Hi everyone! My name is Pau Riera, a 2nd year MSc student from Spain. I've been programming in Julia very actively this last year so I'm really interested in the GSoC project.

Hi, I am Devasmit Dutta, currently pursuing my MS in structural mechanics at UCLA. I have prior experience of working on MPI accelerated phase-field modeling of dynamic brittle fracture finite element simulation using GridapDistributed.jl package, and would like to contribute to this year's GSoC !.

I have proposed a brief description here #14. Looking forward to great discussions in this thread !!.
