Hi, all, especially Joaquin...
I am planning to submit an application to SoC. I will love to make realthe specialized containers you mention and try to include some useful others. [...] Is the list the place to talk this about of?
Hello Matías, good to know a Spanish-speaking fellow, we're only a handful round here. The way SoC is organized, I think the procedure involves your sending an application thru SoC online tool starting May 1st. Yours, along with all other applications related to Boost, will then be routed by Google to Boost mentors, which will do then the selection and P2P discussion with applicants. In your case, since you're interested in the B.MI proposal, I understand it's gonna be I who will be evaluating your application. I don't really know what the application format and required information are (that depends on the SoC online tool, I guess) but I can tell you what I'd like to see in those submissions under my evaluation responsibility: * As much CV data as possible, academic performance, programming-related courses, etc. * Programming experience: University assignments, open source projects, freelance activities, whatever. If you can point to some code of yours, so much the better. * As per the concrete proposal, expand on the idea described on the Boost wiki along the following directions: * A detailed description of your activity, specially if you plan to add some extra bonuses to the original idea (some other specialized container, for instance). Do not make a wishlist, but rather provide a realistic statement of goals you feel confident to achieve within the time schedule imposed by SoC. * Environmental details: IDEs you'll be using, how you'll do the docs, etc. * A roadmap of the project, or some approximation to it. In general, take into account there can be other applicants for the same project, so not only must you be convincing the mentors you're fit for the project, you must make it it clear you're the fittest :) Good luck with your application, I'll be seeing you around during these weeks, come back here if you have tecnhical doubts while designing your application.
