Dear Slick,

Thank you for your interest in the OCS package project.  Do you use the
package yourself and feel the need to improve things?  This is usually
the most preferable way of GSoC participation.  The package maintainer
mentions the following items [1]:

- use classdef
- fix open bugs [2]
- increase compatibility with SPICE

The time for GSoC participation in 2020 is a bit short if you want to
discuss a potential project from scratch.  You should come up with a
very strong project proposal by now.  Otherwise, you are always welcome
to work on the OCS package outside GSoC or to consider a GSoC
participation next year.

Best regards,
Kai
