Re: GSoC 2020 Introduction

[Sebastian Koslowski]

Hi Akhil,

welcome, good to hear that GNU Radio peaked your interest!

You are absolutely right, C++, Python and Qt are among the most used technologies inside GNU Radio. And there is always lots to do outside of the actual DSP and theory thereof. 

QtGUI related work is always much appreciated.

Regarding GSoC, Google hasn't announced which organisations have been accepted yet. So, we're kind of waiting until that happens (see their timeline [1])  before taking further action.

However, that doesn't mean for you to wait. You head over to GitHub, get familiar with the code, maybe consider working on some smaller related issues, get used to the workflow.

Hi everyone! I'm Akhil, a second year undergrad in computer engineering at AIT Pune, India.I wish to participate in GSoC this year under your organization.

I'm afraid I'm completely new to GNU Radio however reading your wiki I feel that this community is pretty welcoming and it seems like an organization I would enjoy working with this year.

As I mentioned I have no experience with GNU Radio however I'm going through the tutorials in the wiki now and am quite willing to learn whatever I need to help contribute.

I'm familiar with programming in C++ as well as Python and have worked a little on Qt so the Qt5 GUI Integrations idea seems like a good fit for me. I'd appreciate it if the mentors could guide me in any way to any code/information related to the project. Working on anything related to the project or even a partial implementation of the idea would help me grasp what is required for the project and what I'm expected to implement.

Last of all, this being a Qt related project I'm assuming there's not much theory I should be familiar with, however if there is I'd be glad if you could tell me what to learn.

Thanks and Regards,

Akhil Nair
