[Bf-committers] VPAC Summer Internship Program

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi Alex,

Blender has a quite advanced fluid simulator library. And although it 
would be interesting to explore (parellel?) GPU based fluid sim, I 
doubt that's a feasible target for anyone in such a short period.
For interns, as for the Google Summer of Code project we do, defining a 
more simple and feasible project might work much better. Not to forget, 
the previously acquired skills of a student defines a lot.

If an intern still has to get acquinted with GLSL coding, checking on 
what's now in Blender and adding some simple extra features could work 
well.
If you can get a more experienced GLSL developer, there's very 
interesting new GLSL features to explore. This then depends on whether 
you want to align with our roadmap mostly, or whether you want 
something to be added for own application first. :)

We don't have an active GLSL wishlist, others might be able to tell 
better than me. Maybe you can tell us a bit more about your own 
interests or development targets?
