The NSoC is a summer program to bring in student developers into the ns-3 community. Any student (Undergraduate, Masters or PhD) currently registered in an accredited institution is free to apply. Students will be paired with mentors from the ns-3 development team, and will work on focused projects throughout the summer. The main goals of the program are:
- Attract new student developers who’re eager about contributing and, if they like the experience, will join the project for the long term.
- Provide students with a good mentoring programme, allow them to be a part of the ns-3 development process, and help them pick up knowledge and skills that would be helpful in their future careers.
Unlike Google Summer of Code, NSoC is not a paid summer position, and neither students nor mentors will be paid. Students who successfully complete the project will receive recognition on the ns-3 web site, and a commemorative shirt. Mentors will be recognized as well.
At most three students will be selected for this programme. So students, what are you waiting for? Look through the ideas page (link given below) and start working on your applications as soon as possible!
The timeline for the programme is as follows:
April 5th - April 15th: Students apply for NSoC with project proposals.
April 15th - April 30th: NS-3 developers review project proposals.
May 1st: Results announced.
