Hi all,

Is it too late to apply SOCIS 2013 as a student now?

I have been a user of Octave for three years for general purpose such
as calculating, plotting, automating of simple image analysis, and
have been watching the maintainer/help/bug/ list for about one year. I
am willing to contribute to this open source project very much.
Joining in the SOCIS project could be a good start to motivate me to
start contributing to this community.

I am familiar with C/C++, vi, make, hg, and other normal tools of
linux environment, and feel very comfortable with archlinux as
desktop.

Being as a user, I have a similar background and co-interest to one of
the Octave active developers (I have read his googlesummer plan here:
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2013/carandraug/17001).
I am a student in Europe, heavily using microscopy and image analysis
for life science. So I am wondering if there is any potential work I
could do with the ND- image package. Or else? I am happy to start with
any image processing or graphics topics. Could anyone give me any
suggestion, please?

Cheers,

Dennis
