Hi Oscar,
Congratulations on being accepted for GSoC 2021! I was a summer of code student (SOCIS, not GSoC) a few years ago, and I certainly don't regret it.
I'm looking forward to reading your updates throughout the summer!
Best regards,
Håkon Vågsether
Hey Oscar,
it's great to have you around!
GRC is really at the heart of GNU Radio's user experience. We've been hoping very much
someone would take on this project: Being able to safely share flow graphs would open the
door to much greater community cooperation.
While GSoC pays you to do your work (some of us here actually have been in that situation
- it's great!), don't assume you have to do it alone. Certainly, your mentor (and backup
mentors) will be there for any questions you have, but if there's anything you feel like
is a great question to ask the community, please don't hesitate: you being in this special
position doesn't mean you'd be getting the same support from the community than everyone
else does. Please never hesitate to drop an email to discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org, or to ask
and discuss on our Matrix server; especially #grc-dev:gnuradio.org [1] will probably be a
great place to hang out.
Thanks for being a part of all this,
have a lot of fun, i.e.
happy hacking!
