Hello, I am looking forward to working with the amazing Arduino open-source community for GSoC 2020. I read about the portenta board and was pretty amazed by its specifications and modern design. I am waiting eagerly to use it to deploy tiny ML models. But, how should I experiment with it and submit examples for it when I can't avail it right now?

They said they will send you a free board if you get selected for the gsoc program "Note: accepted students will be sent a free Portenta board."

Hey Prashant! Since you live in Dehradun, I would suggest you to purchase it from a foreign website and ship it to India. Since, sellers in India are currently not supplying the Portents Board.

pra-dan commented 4 years ago

@derekdunes but we need to start contributing before the selection starts and the boards will only be provided after that. Win at digging and win a shovel

I found this:

The Portenta H7 will be ready for shipment approximately at the end of March 2020.

@PrashantDandriyal I think it's up to the organization to state how developers get the boards and start contributing.

pra-dan commented 4 years ago

Yeah exactly @derekdunes. I wonder when can we expect responses from the organizers?

Hello all, I am Kunal Saini from Kurukshetra, Haryana, India. I am a 3rd-year undergraduate student. I have worked on Arduino from very beginning i.e. from LED blinking to automation using IoT with IBM watson and building a mobile and robots using Arduino. I have made lots of example . Thank you, Kunal Saini

Looking forward to becoming part of the Arduino Community and making contributions

Is there any online platform or simulator available to run the portenta h7 board ( like Proteus or circuito.io) ?

alranel commented 4 years ago

@PrashantDandriyal the Portenta board will be sent to the selected students. Since it's not currently available, you can still provide your contributions to one of the projects listed at https://github.com/arduino/summer-of-code/blob/master/how-to-apply.md#during-the-application-phase-february-20th---march-31st
