[JdeRobot] introduction and idea sharing

[JoseMaria Cañas Plaza]

Hi Vivek,

thanks for your interest in JdeRobot organization. We are refining the
programming tests for this year, stay tuned. The selection procedure for
GSoC-2020 follows these steps: (1) perform the tests, (2) contact the
mentors of the project you are interested in, they will help you to improve
your proposal, (3) submit your proposal at GSoC webpage. You may also use
and get familiar with JdeRobot software (for instance, Academy [1]), and
start contributing in any project, despite we value long term contributions
more than short term ones.

In the selection process we take into account (a) the submitted programming
tests, (b) the quality of student proposal, (c) the candidate Curriculum
Vitae and (d) the final number of slots granted by GSoC. Unfortunately
there are always less slots than candidates, the competition is
international and hard, but you always have a chance!.

Cheers,

JoseMaria
