This year we got interviewed about our activities at Google Summer of Code by heise online. First, they interviewed one of this years organizers Patrick Diehl about his responsibilities as a mentor and organizer. Please find the interview in German here. Second, they interviewed Marcin Copik, a former student and a current mentor about his experiences. Please find the interview in German here.

GSoC’18: Come and code a STE||AR Summer with us!
The STE||AR Group is honored to have been selected as one of the 2018 Google Summer of Code (GSoC) mentor organizations! This program, which pays students over the summer to work on open source projects, has been a wonderful experience for the past four years that we have been accepted by the program.
Google Summer of Code Statistics
After the Google Mentor Summit, we started to gather some statistics about our participation in Google Summer of Code. In Summer 2014, we were first time accepted as an organization. Figure 1 shows that since our first year we have increased the number of students mentored from two to six. Unfortunately, with an more students, the odd of a student failing the program increased. In 2017 we started to analyze the pull requests of our students. Here, we counted the open pull request at the last day of GSoC and the closed one one day later. In 2018 we started to analyze the ammount of applications we received .We also analyzed the amount of students per country of residence and continent of residence.
GSoC 2017 Results: Success!

Moreover, we are pleased to say that their work clearly showcases their potential. It has been an exciting and rewarding to watch these students submit increasingly influential contributions to our community. Below you can read an outline of their projects which
GSoC 17: Final documentation for Parallel algorithms 2
By taeguk (http://taeguk.me)
Abstract
HPX is “The C++ Standards Library for Concurrency and Parallelism”. So, implementing C++17 parallelism like N4409 is very important. Most of parallel algorithms are already implemented. But, still some algorithms are remained to be not implemented. My main
GSoC 17: Final documentation for Parallel algorithms 1
By Ajai V George under the supervision of Marcin Copik
Abstract
My proposal was to implement distributed versions of STL parallel algorithms. The main focus has been on resolving as much of the pending work in #1338 , which is about ensuring that these algorithms work seamlessly with distributed data structures like
GSoC 17 Status update after second evaluation
At the end of July, we completed the second evaluation of our Google Summer of Code program. Here we have collected all of the pull request and blog posts that our students have produced. Check them out below:
GSoC 2017 Participants Announced!
We can now announce the participants in the STE||AR Group’s 2017 Google Summer of Code! We are very proud to announce the names of those 6 students who this year will be funded by Google to work on projects for our group.
These recipients represent only a handful of the many excellent proposals that we had to choose from. For those unfamiliar with the program, the Google Summer of Code brings together ambitious students from around the world with open source developers by giving each mentoring organization funds to hire a set number of participants. Students then write proposals, which they submit to a mentoring organization, in hopes of having their work funded.
