As part of getting involved in the SymbiFlow community as a GSoC student, you should write and send an introductory email to the the mailing list to introduce your project to the wider community. This email should be proofread by your mentor and only sent out after their approval.

The email subject should be something like "GSoC Project 2019: , " and should be sent to the main list, https://lists.librecores.org/listinfo/symbiflow

I'm thinking about something like this:

Hello!

I'm duck2[0], this year's Google Summer of Code student for SymbiFlow.

In this summer, I'm going to work on the VPR file formats. The project proposal[1] includes a schema-generated reader for the arch.xml file and a binary format for the rr_graph.xml file(and other intermediate files). I'll also try to generate the rr_graph from more succinct formats like tileconn.json instead of dumping the whole graph into the file. I'll record my progress on all this at https://gsoc.duck2.lt.

About me: I'm an 4th year EEE student from METU[2], Turkey. Programming computers is my longest lasting hobby so far, after chemistry, orienteering and macroeconomics. I'm interested in SymbiFlow because current FPGA CAD software is ...not good.

Can you dump this into a Google Doc so I can add some comments?

@duck2 - Added a bunch of comments to your doc. Do you want to look over it and we can try and send it out in the next day or two?

duck2 commented 5 years ago

I did some minor changes. I can send it tomorrow if it is OK.

mithro commented 5 years ago
