Those rules are mostly for x264 and VLC.

Those rules are quite flexible for any situation.

Students rules

Summer

If you are a student, we expect that:

  • You don't have a full-time job during your summer if you are doing SoC at the same time
  • You are of good will to work with VideoLAN projects.

Selection

To be selected, you will have to:

  • Show on IRC
  • Join the mailing lists (x264-devel or vlc-devel, according to your project)
  • Select an idea
  • Say hello to your potential mentor and admin
  • Learn about the code you should modify (where in the source, what is the idea...)
  • Be able to compile a VLC for your platform (for VLC development) and learn how to use Git.
  • Complete the Google admission and give a planning idea

During the summer

If you are a student, we expect that:

  • Explain your planning to mentor and admin (not everyone has the same vacations)
  • You report a small mail once a week to both mentor and admin during the time agreed (failure to do that will fail the application )
  • You commit one your personal git branch once a week (except first week of your schedule)

Explaining why you can't work one week is fine. Disappearing without notice is not.
