Hi Igor Hopefully Ben Allan will give a response to your proposal. I'll try to answer some of your questions.

Some questions that I have are: To apply you need to use the GSOC website and submit a document including what you propose to do, what your experience is, etc. http://socghop.appspot.com/ > > * Will be there just one student and one mentor for each project > or a project (like Parallelising ASCEND computations) could have 2 or > more students participating? One student per project. We don't want to risk duplicating effort; we want to get the most out of our applicants. Note that there has already been some strong interest from other students for this Parallelising project, so you might want to improve your chances by choosing another project as well (two applications). I think that our main priority areas are around improving DAE syntax and support for IDA, full support for IPOPT including hessian matrix calculation, domain-specific modelling, and improvements to the PyGTK GUI. So consider those projects carefully. > * How does the "process" work? I mean how will mentor and student > work together?

We will organise weekly acheivement targets and conduct regular email discussion on the ascend-developers mailing list. Because of the geographically dispersed nature of the group, online chat is too difficult to manage. We can have some initial phone discussions to get things going though, once/if you're accepted. > * What about the hardware?

But if student > don't have these hardware, what should he do? I think that any student working on this project would need to have access to their own hardware, on one form or another. Otherwise, propose a different project. > > I guess it's ok for now. If I have more question I will send other > email, ok? Is there other communication way to talk, like a chat, or > we have to talk using email? Email is best at this stage, hope that's OK with you.
