Hi everybody involved with Rcpp, My apologies up front if this is offtopic for this mailinglist. I felt it was okay, but please let me know if it isn't. I was just wondering. Will Rcpp be a participating as a project in this years GsoC? For those of you who haven't heard of it before: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2013 I absolutely love the package and all the work you volunteers have poured into it. Actually my current MSc thesis (on polyploid genetic mapping and QTL analysis) heavily depends on it. So let this e-mail also be a word of appreciation ;) With kind regards, Berry Kriesels -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Rcpp-devel] Rcpp Google summer of code 2013?
4 messages · R. Michael Weylandt, Dirk Eddelbuettel, Berry Kriesels
There's an active R-GSOC bunch and I'm sure a good Rcpp project would get support that way. Dirk has sponsored GSOC projects in the past so I bet you wouldn't have too much trouble finding a mentor. ;-) http://rwiki.sciviews.org/doku.php?id=developers:projects:gsoc2013 And a mailing list off google groups. Cheers, Michael (former GSOC student)

Yup. And there are of course other organizations too (eg I mentored for R as well as within Debian). Dirk

Thank you for your reply Dirk. If someone would feel tempted to mentor the project I would be more then willing to show interest as a student! Berry
