The following is distilled from the [[Projects]] page for the benefit of potential [http://code.google.com/soc/Google Summer] [http://sophia.estec.esa.int/socis2012/?q=node/13 of Code] students. Although students are welcome to attempt any of the projects in that page or any of their own choosing, here we offer some suggestions on what good student projects might be. | The following is distilled from the [[Projects]] page for the benefit of potential [http://code.google.com/soc/Google Summer] [http://sophia.estec.esa.int/socis2012/?q=node/13 of Code] students.

= Your steps to apply = | |||
If you like any of the projects described below these are the steps you need to follow to apply: | |||
# Find out that you would like to work together with us this summer! | |||
# Tell us about that and work on your project proposal. Do this together with us! Best place is your wiki user page, see below. | |||
# Fill out our '''''public''''' application template. This is best done by '''[[Special:CreateAccount|creating an account at this wiki]]''' and copying the '''[[Template:Student_application_template_public|template]]''' from its page. <br/> You really only need to copy and answer the '''''public''''' part there, there is no need to showcase everything else to everybody reading your user page! | |||
# Fill out our '''''private''''' application template. This is best done by copying the '''[[Template:Student_application_template_private|template]]''' from its page and ''' adding the required information to your application at Google (melange) '''.<br/> Only the organization admin and the possible mentors will see this data.<br/>You can still edit it after submitting until the deadline! | |||
# Hang out in our IRC channel, ask questions, submit patches, show us that you are motivated and well-prepared. There sadly will be more applicants than we can mentor with high quality, so do ask for feedback on your public application to increase your odds! | |||
# Start implementing your very own proposal! Code the summer away ;-) | |||

* In addition, you probably should know '''some''' mathematics, engineering, or experimental science or something of the sort. If you've used Matlab before, you probably have already been exposed to the kinds of problems that Octave is used for. | * In addition, you probably should know '''some''' mathematics, engineering, or experimental science or something of the sort.
