Google Summer of Code 2009

We did it again this year! For the fourth time Crystal Space got accepted for Google Summer of Code. So if you want you can submit a student application for Crystal Space then you can do that starting at March ... [More] 23. You can already prepare applications now. If you want to read more about Google Summer of Code read the following link:

You can read about Crystal Space and Google Summer of Code (including a list
of possible ideas) here:

One important thing: talk to us about your proposal BEFORE submitting it. You can
either do that on the crystal-develop mailing list or else on the rc.freenode.net #CrystalSpace channel. [Less]

Google Mentor Summit 2008

Marten (thebolt) and Scott (jwir3) just returned from the 2008 Google Summer of Code Mentor Summit, in Mountain View, California. For those of you not familiar with the Mentor Summit, it's an annual event ... [More] bringing together hundreds of mentors from different open source projects (and walks of life) to discuss the Google Summer of Code, general open source software development, Google's role as an open source support organization, and numerous specific topics related to different areas of open source development.

The proceedings of the conference have not yet been made public, but as soon as they are, we'll post them here. In the meantime, check out Jwir3's Blog for some interesting pictures and comments. [Less]

Google Summer of Code 2008 Accepted

Posted about 1 year ago

The Google Summer of Code 2008 students for Crystal Space have been selected. Since we have five mentors we decided for five slots and thanks to Google we also got those slots.

The following students were accepted:

Greg Hoffman ... [More] with improvements to lighter2.
Pavel Krajcevski with Real-Time Rendering of Water Meshes.
Daniel Duarte Mendes with NavMesh generation and editing tools, Pathfinder& Steering improvements.
Julian Mautner with Realtime cloud simulation and rendering system.
Michael Gist with Cross thread communication and multi-threaded loading.

Congratulations to those students. We hope their contributions will be a success and perhaps they can even remain long-time Crystal Space contributors in the future.

Of course, selecting those five students means a lot of other students didn't get selected. It is always unfortunate to have to decline very good proposals but that's the nature of the game. We do hope that some of you still decide to work with and for Crystal Space. If you do so then you are warmly invited to work as a volunteer. [Less]

Apricot Prototype Game

For people who are not following the Apricot blog yet you probably should. There has been a rather interesting video posted on it which shows the prototype of
the game so far and also some art that is in production right now. The team is making ... [More] good progress so things are looking good! You can find the blog at this location.

And btw, you can still pre-order those DVD's :-) [Less]

Finally it starts! The Apricot team has been selected and is ready to
make a smashing game using Crystal Space and Blender. In order to support this Apricot project (and support Crystal Space!) you can pre-order the DVD. This is very important ... [More] for us as it gives us the needed funds to make sure the project can go for six months. You can get more information and pre-order information at The Apricot Blog. Thanks for your support!

The Apricot Team has been selected! Read more about this at this link. We had a lot of very good candidates so it really was hard to make a selection (and it would have been nice to be able to select more). Congratulations to the selected candidates!
