! Abstract :: ! ! [One to three paragraphs (around 100 words should be enough).] ! ! [Give a 1-line summary, then explain briefly what work the ! project would entail and what the benefits would be (maybe ! one paragraph each). Mention if this is a new project or ! a continuation or extension of existing work by somebody ! else (this is fine!).] ! ! Verbose :: ! ! Name: [your name here] ! Email: [e-mail] ! Project Title: [project title] ! Proposed Mentor: [totally optional] ! ! Benefits to the community: ! ! [One to three paragraphs, 150 words should be plenty, ! less is fine if the benefits are very obvious.] ! ! Deliverables: ! ! [Break your expected work down into three to six chunks. ! If possible, each chunk should be something which could ! be usefully released to the community independent of ! the others. For some projects it may be more appropriate ! for each chunk to be a milestone at which point your ! mentor could download your work and test the operation ! of that chunk.] ! ! [Also specify which chunks you believe would constitute ! minimum completion of the project, successful completion ! of the project, and "time permitting".] ! ! [Try to estimate (and we understand this will be very ! rough!!) a total number of lines of code you expect to ! write and/or re-write.] ! ! Background: ! ! [Describe your familiarity with Plan 9 or Inferno and ! the project (include, if available, a quick summary of ! relevant background from other platforms, including ! applications, modules, or patches accepted by other ! projects, if any). Have you installed Plan 9/Inferno? ! If so, have you then built a kernel or written a small ! application? List any major Plan 9/Inferno software ! you are familiar with, e.g., your favorite editor.] ! ! [If possible, please include one to three links to ! web pages summarizing your work on a patch/project ! and containing source code. Code can be for a ! class assignment, if you are allowed to make it public, ! or for a personal project.] ! ! [If relevant, include links to published papers.] ! ! [Note that you do NOT need to provide all of these to ! as part of a successful application. But anything you ! can provide in this area will help.] ! ! Project Schedule: ! ! [What do you hope to accomplish during the Bonding Period?] ! ! [If possible, submit a draft schedule: for each GSoC week, ! from May 26 through August 10, what milestone do you expect ! to reach at the end of that week? Please mark any weeks ! with conflicts you know about, such as exams, family travel, ! major holidays, etc.] ! ! [If you are not submitting a week-by-week schedule, you must ! at least indicate what progress you expect to have made by ! the start of the Mid-term evaluation (Monday, July 7).] ! ! Availability: ! ! [How many hours per week do you expect to spend on this ! project? We are not expecting everybody to declare ! 40 hours per week; what we are looking for is a plausible ! agreement between your hours, your background, and the ! project you are proposing.]
