Hi students,
student application just opened for this year. As there is quite some
interest in EASE projects I would like to clarify the proceedings from
my side. Although we have multiple proposals open on the ideas site, I
will only have time to mentor one student, so it might not be sufficient
to be the only one interested in a topic, but also to provide the
strongest appearance from all applicants for EASE topics.
To help you a little bit I would like to provide some guidelines and
requirements:
* next to your proposal you need to have successfully fixed a bug in
EASE. This requires to cehck out the sources, sign up on bugzilla, raise
a bug, fix it and contribute the patch via gerrit. I do not care much
about what you fix. Might be a typo in some javadocs. The main reason to
do this is to prove that you know how to work with the required tools.
* provide a clear idea what you are going to deliver/implement and what
not. Stating what can be expected helps both of us when it comes to
evaluations.
* provide timelines when content shall be ready. I suggest to provide
milestones for your deliverables. Have at max periods of 2 weeks to
finish work packages. To move your stuff to the master branch topics
should be consistent and working. We cannot push unfinished/broken parts
of code to the master branch!
* have your task completed 2 weeks before the final evaluation. This
gives you a small buffer in case things get more complicated than you
think. Even if you are willing to finish topics after the final
evaluation they will not be counted!
* you need to file a short summary of your work each week on this list.
* remember that I might not be responsive on the instant, so plan your
work accordingly and try to raise questions some time before you have to
start implementing solutions.
* code is not everything. You are expected to deliver unit tests and
documentation (mainly javadoc) for your code.
if you have questions to these guidelines, please let me know
happy coding
Christian
