Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GSoC: Multiple students working on an idea.

[Niall Grant]

Hi All, 

I am a Masters computing student (software focused) from Edinburgh, Scotland. I am looking to take part in GSoC this year. I am particularly interested in the Radar Toolbox idea. I am also looking to do my masters thesis on SDR in Maritime Search and Rescue and have experience in this area as a Lifeboat helmsman here in the UK. 

In addition to the idea I'd like to investigate: 

1. Whether there is a way of implementing an algorithm to reduce the noise of radar response in order to assist with target finding (thinking about noise from waves at sea). 

2. Implementation on mobile device (Android).

Hope you can put me in touch with relevant mentor. 

Best Wishes,

Niall

Hi GNU Radio discussers,

I'm the mentor for the signal analysis tool on the GNU Radio GSoC ideas page. I was contacted by two students interested in working on the project. They know each other, go to the same school, and are in my home town -- a very nice setup! A recent message on this list asked if multiple students could receive a GSoC stipend for working on a single idea/project. The answer is apparently "no" according to the GSoC FAQ. However, there's this answer on the FAQ as well:

"11. What happens if two students are accepted to work on the same project, e.g. from an organization's Ideas list?"

"That's fine, a little duplication is par for the course in open source."

I take this to mean I should have both students submit proposals, and that there's a possibility both of them will be selected to work on the project. Does that sound right? I'm guessing my project idea is so obscure there's very little chance of Google wanting to dedicate *two* students to it. But it seems like that's the only way both students will be able to receive a stipend. Bummer...
