Hi! I am Srita, a junior in college. I plan to work on packaging Brian’s unit system project for Gsoc-2026. I have experience with python and currently I’m reading the documentation of Brian2 and exploring the code. I would really appreciate any guidance on whether I’m on right track and what contribution I could start with as a beginner.
Thank you.
Hi @sritaaa. Packaging the unit system was a project for GSoC 2024, please wait a few days until INCF publishes the list with this year’s projects (probably both on https://incf.org and on https://neurostars.org/).
Thank you for clarification. I’ll wait for the official list and explore the code in the meantime.
Hi @sritaaa, in case you didn’t see it yet: the list is now online at Google Summer of Code | INCF.
Hi, @mstimberg thanks for letting me know! I saw that list and I was interested in Serialization/deserialization for Brian. I haven’t introduced myself on the discussion forum yet because I was hoping to get a bit more acquainted with the codebase and task and test some possible approaches before introducing myself there.
So far I’ve read the developer guide and run some examples to get familiar. I’ve also been debugging parts of the code to understand how objects and arrays are managed internally. Right now I was focusing on store/restore mechanism for cpp standalone mode.
If you have any suggestion or feedback I’d really appreciate it.
Thank you!
