| We'd like to encourage anyone interested in our project to get in contact with us, the earlier the better. In general, the best way to learn about ASCEND is first to actually try to use it: so, please, [[VersionManagement|get the code]], [[Building ASCEND|build it]], ponder our [[student projects]] list, and get in contact with us via the [https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ascend-sim-users ascend-sim-users] mailing list.
| |
|
| |
| If you plan to participate in GSOC with ASCEND, please note that it will be our requirement that you be available to work in a full-time capacity for the full duration of 12 weeks.
| |
|
| |
| Please use the 'watch' feature of this wiki if you would like to be notified of changes to this page or to the [[Student Projects]] list. You will need to create a login on this wiki, and use the 'my preferences' page to set notification options.
