Google Summer of Code
Locked
 
|
Hello,
Google has announced its Summer of Code again for this year http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2012 . And I was wondering if there are any ideas for QuantLib projects for this program. I would love to hear from prospective mentors about challenges that an experienced C++ developer can contribute towards this effort for 2-3 months over the summer. Please do respond even if you don't have the time to participate in the program. I'll collect ideas from the responses and post it onto a handy wiki page for later use. p.s. I notice that there is a nice GitHub QuantLib repository at https://github.com/lballabio/quantlib/commits/master I wonder how far behind or incomplete it is from the project svn repository at https://quantlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/quantlib/trunk. The checkout from svn trunk clocked at 573MB. And I guess that with a few more MBs I might as well get the whole project history offline from GitHub instead of running expensive svn checkouts. best regards, Alok ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ QuantLib-dev mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/quantlib-dev |

So I've explored the SourceForge project page some more and found the
feature requests page on the tracker. And this entry by Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) struck me as interesting. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1651713&group_id=12740&atid=362740 I would appreciate it very much if someone can elaborate on what sort of extension would someone be looking for. I do know that RQuantLib was developed as a Summer of Code project to extend QuantLib to the R-Project in 2009. Any ideas/thoughts/advise regarding this would be much appreciated. best regards, Alok On Sun, Feb 19, 2012 at 10:29 PM, Alok <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hello, > > Google has announced its Summer of Code again for this year > http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2012 .

Would you be interested in mentoring for the Google Summer of Code again? I see from the RQuantLib page http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rquantlib.html that: "There are lots more financial instruments covered in QuantLib. RQuantLib should grow to accomodate these. Help in writing the R wrappers would accelerate the provision of RQuantLib hooks for these." How is the coverage of RQuantLib now? I am eager for an opportunity in extending QuantLib for either R or ROOT. What is your view on this? > > We could possibly have people work in QL under different umbrella > organisations too.

I am eager for an opportunity in | extending QuantLib for either R or ROOT. What is your view on this? I am always looking for people with C++ and R skills to help on RQuantLib. It is a terrific little project with still too little coverage of QuantLib. It has spawned off Rcpp (as a generic C++ to R and back wrapping mechanism) which soaked up most of my (and Romain's) time over the last few years. If you are interested, and have the skills to work on this, the R Project has been a steady participant in GSoC. So you could apply there, and we could work something out for RQuantLib. That said, it may of interest to get QL over into GSoC in same form too. As for ROOT, I can't comment as I only know of it, but have never used it in any capacity.

It's up to date; I have a cron job that pushes from subversion to github nightly. Note that the github repository contains only the QuantLib module, though. The subversion trunk also includes the SWIG wrappers and all the modules that make up the QuantLibXL project.
