Propose a project that uses the OpenSim API
- refine to make achievable
- or get paired up w/others beforehand
Put in a general research context
Explain past experience
Welcome to the OpenSim Developer Week Wiki. The information in this Wiki page is intended to help you formulate a project that may both benefit from the OpenSim 4.0 API and is tractable for a one-week workshop. This wiki will be updated regularly so please check in as we get closer to the development week.

Outstanding applications will be eligible for travel awards provided by the National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research (NCSRR). All interested participants must apply online by completing a short application form and submitting a short project proposal (up to 1 page) via email to opensim@stanford.edu. Applications must be submitted by Friday March 25th.
Important Dates
Submission deadline: Friday March 25th
Announcements Posted: Friday April 15th
Workshop begins: Monday June 27th
Workshop Ends: Friday July 1st
PROJECT PROPOSAL
The project proposal should be at most one page. It should provide a statement of the larger project you are performing with OpenSim, but focus on the technical aspects that are challenging and could benefit from the new OpenSim API. In addition, it should detail the specific task or set of tasks you plan to complete at the workshop. Please use the following outline to organize your proposal:
1) Background: Briefly describe the relevant background to the proposed project.
3) Development Challenges: Explain current or expected challenges and bottlenecks
List a few project ideas that highlight new API
major changes in 4.0
Email us if you don't have a good project idea.
4) Expected Results and Impact: State the outcome of your work and its possible impact on the field.
5) Participant Background: Briefly describe your background and prior experience with OpenSim. Also, describe any prior programming experience. Explain why are you interested in attending the workshop. If a group, provide this information for all group members.
We highly encourage collaborators to participate in the workshop together. If you are applying as part of a group, everyone should complete the registration form, but please submit only one research proposal.
What can you do in 4.0?
OpenSim 4.0 will allow for greater access and flexibility to software builders, making possible what may have been impossible to in previous releases. Below is a list of 4.0 features and projects that these features may now enable. The OpenSim Developers workshop will be a great opportunity for those who are building or augmenting components, controllers analyzes or models in OpenSim. Though the workshop will predominantly use the new 4.0 API interface, people who are developing new tools for the OpenSim 3 releases are encouraged to apply.

OpenSim Development Week Agenda
This is a five-day workshop. On the first day of the workshop, an overview of OpenSim 4.0 will be provided, with discussions, guided exercises and interactive lectures to introduce. The second day will be consist of guided exercises on contributing using GitHub and how you can incorporate collaboration and contribution to your project. Day three and four will be devoted to working on problems that you and other participants bring to the workshop. Day five will have group discussion and presentation about your workshop achievements and plans for wrapping up your development.
