Hello,
I am Vasilis Lefkopoulos, and I'm interested in contributing to a project as part of GSoC 2017.
I've studied the list of suggested projects [1] for GSoc 2017. I've also
read the more general list of projects for Octave [2]. Specifically, I
would be interested working on the "solver for initial-boundary value
problems for parabolic-elliptic PDEs in 1D" [3] or/and the "solver for
1D nonlinear boundary value problems" [4].
I would like to know:
1. What is the current status of these projects? I know that they're not
as of yet implemented into Octave, and I also saw that they were
implemented in the past but were taken down due to copyright issues with
Matlab.
2. Are these projects suitable for my GSoC application (and potential
3-month full-time work)? If yes, is there a relevant mentor that could
support me?
3. Is there any relevant short project that I can work on, to
familiarize myself with these topics and also prove that I'm capable of
committing to them? I've contributed to Octave Forge before, so I am
familiar with the way contributions are made.
