This webpage highlights project ideas, expectations, and requirements for ns-3's [http://code.google.com/soc Google Summer of Code] 2010 effort.  '''Note:''' ns-3 hasn't yet been accepted to GSOC 2010, so of course, participation is conditional on our acceptance into the program.  Also, feel free to work on these projects outside of the GSOC program; we would be happy to mentor them as time permits.
== Student Guidelines ==
The ns-3 team is looking for three things from every successful GSoC project:
* Developing code that can be incorporated back into the main codebase and utilized by a variety of users.
* Developing new members that will remain part of the team and contribute to the ns-3 effort even after GSoC ends.
* Providing GSoC students with experience and ideas that will be useful to them in their careers and/or research.
Based on the ns-3 team's experiences in the 2008 and 2009 Google Summer of Code, the most important factor in the success of an application and project is communication.  That process begins in the application phase.  Without joining the [http://mailman.isi.edu/mailman/listinfo/ns-developers mailing list] and starting some discussion of your ideas, it is unlikely your application will be complete or rich enough to be competitive.  Please feel free to discuss your proposed technical approach, plan, and other factors on the mailing list while developing your application.  In addition to helping you develop the necessary details, focus, and priorities to write a good application, that will also demonstrate your commitment and willingness to dedicate time to the effort.  During the program, every student is expected to communicate regularly with their mentor, as well as to participate on the [http://mailman.isi.edu/mailman/listinfo/ns-developers development mailing list] and IRC chats.
It is also important for every student to commit fully to the effort.  Applicants should recognize that being accepted into GSoC is a serious commitment and will be the focus of their time over the duration of the program.  Any existing commitments for class, other jobs, etc should all be discussed as part of your application.
Additional slides about the ns-3 GSoC project (from last year) are also available, from a [http://www.nsnam.org/docs/gsoc.ppt GSoC Infosession] at the University of Washington on March 5th, 2009.
== Application Template ==
The following are specific items the ns-3 teams requests GSoC applicants include in their proposal.

*** ''Work''. Be sure to denote any work experience you have in relevant areas. Your past work experience does not need to be a job where you got payed, you can mention any projects you have participated in. Have you ever worked in open source projects?
*** ''Research''. Be sure to denote any research experience you have in relevant areas.
