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.
