All four student project were represented at the Symposium's poster session, and two of the students -- Barbara Dorame and Ashay Shirwadkar -- were invited to present their projects as part of workshops at the event.
GSoC Student Posters @ 2019 CROSS Symposium
CROSS Director Carlos Maltzahn and Assistant Director Stephanie Lieggi participated in the 2019 GSoC Mentors Summit (October 17-20) in Munich, Germany. The Mentors Summit is an unconference that brings together organization administrators and mentors for an opportunity to share experience and network with other GSoC participants. This year's Summit celebrated 15 years of GSoC and included over 300 mentors from 162 organizations and 42 different countries. CROSS presented a lightning talk about our successful GSoC experience, with special focus on the work of Mohd Arshul Mansoori - who's project had a significant impact on the infrastructure for SC19 Student Cluster Competition Challenge.
CROSS would like to thank Google and the GSoC team for enabling this rewarding program. We look forward to GSoC 2020!
