GSOC 2022 - Can I contribute?
Hi everyone,
I'm posting this as an issue since I saw a similar question while looking at the list. Please me know if I should be using the mailing list instead.
The rules for GSOC this year have changed to allow non-students to contribute to an open-source project. I'm a professional software developer where I write code for a popular commercial CFD solver - ANSYS Fluent. As a full time developer, my schedules may be different than that of student, but I'm passionate about open source and I'm always using my extra time pouring over FOSS code that I can work on. I see GSOC as an opportunity to help me enter and be a lasting contributor to the open source space - and given the academic roots of computer aided engineering, there is quite the laundry list of codes I'd like to contribute to in the future, including those I use personally (OpenFOAM, SU2, PyVista..)
I've compiled and used Mbdyn already. Since that forms part of the entry test, I can write about it here, but I thought I'd first confirm with you if this looks like a possibility.
Thanks and best Mustafa
