Baskin School of
Engineering’s Open Source
Research Experience — Project
Ideas for Summer 2020
Tuesday,
June 30th
Zoom Webinar
(registration required)
2-3pm Pacific Time
You
are invited to join us to hear
about the Center for Research in
Open Source Software (CROSS) at UC
Santa Cruz where we teach students
how to productively engage in open
source communities, fund
high-impact research with a
plausible path to successful open
source projects, and incubate
developer communities around
research prototypes. During
the first 20 minutes, CROSS
founder and director Carlos
Maltzahn will provide a brief
context and overview of the Open
Source Research Experience, in
which CROSS fellows provide
project ideas and offer their
excellent mentorship to
undergraduate students.
Interested students apply for particular
project ideas, and fellows identify the best
matches. Industry partners can help support
this program by "up-voting" CROSS fellows (or
their advisors) to signal their interest in
particular project idea portfolios. An
up-vote costs $9,500 which will be used to
fund student summer internships, prioritizing
students matched to project ideas by the most
up-voted CROSS fellows. In return, up-voted
CROSS fellows invite sponsors to participate
in a blend of open source software strategies
with graduate-level research in a
concentrated environment of mentorship,
including the opportunity to meet and
interact with students and mentors, and an
invitation to an end-of-summer presentation
where they will show off the results of their
work.
The remaining 40
minutes are dedicated to fellows
presenting the context of their
project ideas. Project ideas are
available at uccross.github.io/projects and
cover hardware synthesis and
simulation, storage and management
of tabular data in Ceph, querying
inconsistent databases, and
container-native workflow
authoring and execution.
