Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Kick-Starting for GSOC-2018

Hi Chaithya,

your approach sounds very reasonable and it will definitely help you to write a good proposal with feasible and thought-out milestones!

If you are looking for ways to contribute, be sure to check the "Issues" tab on GNU Radio's GitHub repository. Besides one issue with gr-fec, there is also a bunch of issues which are tagged as "good first issue" that can give you an insight into the code base and an opportunity to contribute without too much complexity.

Furthermore, let me point you to the (brand-new) GREP 0001, which contains the GNU Radio coding guidelines [0]. This will help getting your code merged faster once you have written something.

Cheers,
Felix

Hello guys,

I played around with GRC and used most of its features, I didnt have access to USRP till today so I'll do that today...

In the meantime I was wondering about any bugs I could try fixing in gr-radar and or gr-fec or anywhere similar so that I could understand the code flow at a faster pace and also contribute to community...

My plan is to understand the coding flow and communities working so that

a) I could surely think of realistic proposal

b) I could contribute while learning

Hi Chaithya,

Welcome to GNU Radio community. From my experience, GSoC in this organization is a wonderful experience.

To get started, read GSoC Information on Wiki if you haven't already. Also, I would suggest you go through all tutorials on the official GNU Radio wiki. If you have the probable module you want to focus on then you can play around with them after the tutorials.

I am not sure about the query regarding the USRPs. But one of the best ways to understand the current structure is to solve some existing bugs and/or add a feature. Since you have a particular interest in some specific modules, you can try to solve relevant issues. According to my experience, solving 2 bugs will give you (almost) complete idea of the particular module. It may not be important for decision making (I don't know about that), but it will definitely help you to understand the community workflow and GR structure.

Meanwhile, once you get feel of how everything works, you can start thinking about the project, the scope, and workflow. Post your detailed thought on this thread for discussions.

All the best.

Regards,

Kartik Patel

Hello all,

I am Chaithya G R, a final year ECE student from National Institute of technology Karnataka, India (www.nitk.ac.in).. I have taken up courses in advanced Signal processing and basics in Radar.

I honestly wasn't aware a lot about open source communities like GNU Radio, and hence missed out on contributing to the community for a long time... 

To gain a head start to contributing here, I thought GSOC would be a great platform.. I went through the project ideas and I found some really interesting like gr-radar and gr-fec... I want to start off diving deep into the code and if possible some small parts so that I could tailor make the proposal being more realistic.. 

I was wondering if there is any thing that anyone would recommend.. 

Also I had a few questions,

• I was wondering about the hardware requirements (USRP) especially for projects from gr-radar, (as demonstrations surely give good feel :P)
  
• Where could I get a good head-start while diving in code so that I could proceed at faster pace..

Regards

Chaithya G R
