Hi all,
We've reached the end of the first year of PCP involvement with the
Google Summer of Code. We had some good times, with lots of quality
code produced and much learned by students and mentors. Together we
took on the two project slots that were allotted to PCP, and both of
the resulting projects were highly successful.
You can read about the projects from the final student write-ups ...
Sitaram - "PCP versions of Console Tools":

Suyash - "PCP instrumentation API in Golang":

A big thank you to all the mentors, to those who offered to mentor, and
to our org admins - it certainly wouldn't have happened without you!
While there isn't the same financial incentive for mentors as students,
there are some small tokens of recognition, and it feels great to have
helped out. Lukas Berk and Ryan Doyle will also be representing PCP at
the GSoC Mentors Summit later this year in the US, courtesy of Google.
So I strongly encourage people to volunteer to mentor next year - it is
a great way to engage and contribute. We are happy to take on projects
directly working on PCP, or layered projects (e.g. in Vector, Parfait,
Speed, or other new projects). If you might be interested please start
to mull over potential projects even now.
Feel free to get in touch with Lukas or myself any time over the next
few months in the lead up to GSoC 2017 with your ideas, or if you have
any questions about what is involved.
cheers!

Nathan
