Looking for “Google Summer of Code 2011″ students!

Monday, February 7th, 2011

Are you a student? Do you have some weeks of spare time during the summer? Are you interested in Ogre and always searched for a chance to contribute? Well, guess what: Now is your time!

We are right now looking for some talented and interested people for this year’s “Google Summer of Code 2011” initiative. Honestly, we somehow lack really good ideas what to propose as tasks since many of the items on the general ToDo list are either too big or too small for the given time. So if anyone has either some ideas that might be tackled this year or is willed to participate on Ogre’s behalf this year (or perhaps even both?), we would very much appreciate a comment or thread in our GSoC subforum.

We are hoping for some good ideas and volunteers to once again successfully participate!

Ogre 2010

Friday, December 31st, 2010

With the year 2010 soon coming to an end, it is time for us as the Ogre Community to look back on this eventful past year. It is time to think about all the amazing moments and the enormous progress we made, but it is also time to bring back some of the sad moments. Unfortunately, they are inseparably chained together in that funny thing called life we all struggle through.

Noam Gat (‘Noman’) joins the team

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

We’re very pleased to announce that Noam Gat (aka Noman) has officially joined the OGRE team! Noam has been working with and contributing to OGRE for several years now, and was a successful student in our Google Summer of Code programmes for 2008 (geometry shaders) and 2009 (compositor enhancements). Noman will be continuing to build on the compositor work he’s been doing recently, and anything else he happens to fancy having a crack at.

Welcome aboard Noam!

“Google summer of code 2009″ projects coding time is up!

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

This is the fourth time Ogre took part in Google’s generous initiative. This year we had two great students as our interns.

Zi ‘omniter’ Ye – Zi has been using Ogre for a long time and this is his first project with Summer Of Code. Zi selected to improve the way Ogre looks to newcomers by rewriting our sample infrastructure. He created a whole new look and feel to the demo application. He transformed about 20 single demos with different special keys and GUI to a single beautiful application. Zi wrote a new special tray system for the sample interface and rewrote some of the samples to give them a fresh look.

Noam ‘noman’ Gat – Noam has been a member of our growing community for a few years and this is the second year in a row Noam did a project. This time Noam took upon himself to upgrade our compositor system infrastructure. The results are very impressive and will allow Ogre users to easily create complex compositors effects, allowing clearer and simpler code and scripts. To demonstrate the benefits of his work he created a new “deferred shading” sample that uses his new code.

Both students did an excellent job and we are proud to have them as part of our community.
The projects are going to be merged into the Ogre trunk and they are going to be released as part of Ogre next version (1.7) in a few months.

Congratulations to all the students and mentors that took part – and thanks!

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

Google have just announced the list of open source mentoring organisations that will take part in the Google Summer of Code 2009, the now world-famous open source internship programme, and we’re very honoured to be included in the list for the 4th year running!

The application process for students doesn’t start until Monday 23rd March, but now we’re confirmed as participating in the programme, now is very much the time to get prepared if you wish to apply for a place with OGRE this year. If you’re interested, make sure you read up on the programme, take a look at our Ideas List, get involved in the community, and take a look at our student application template – that way, when the time comes to apply, you’re fully prepared.

Many thanks go to Google for running this awesome programme once again, and allowing us be part of it.
