[ruby-core:40314] [ANN] 2011 Call for grant proposals

ruby-talk
1

Hello,

The Ruby Association is looking to give grants for development projects
related to Ruby implementations, libraries and frameworks, including
projects that improve existing software.

  http://www.ruby-assn.org/en/releases/20111025_grant.htm

If you have a good idea, please submit a proposal. However, please
note that we do not intend to fund development projects of Ruby
applications for specific purposes because the aim of this grant is to
improve Ruby and its environment.

== Grant Size

500,000 yen (JPY)

== Eligibility for applicants

Any individual or organization can submit one or more proposals.

== Selection process

The grant committee will assess the proposals, and will select two
projects from them.

== Selection criteria

Applications will be judged on the following criteria (in no particular order):

* Impact on the productivity and performance of Ruby and its environment
* Originality and creativity of the project
* Feasibility of the project

== Evaluations

Accepted applicants are required to submit two reports: the
intermediate report and the final report. The grant committee will
evaluate them.

== Copyrights and licenses of the deliverables

Accepted applicants will retain all rights of the deliverables. However,
the deliverables are required to be licensed under one or more OSI
approved licenses. When improving existing software, the licenses of
the deliverables are required to be compatible with the original
software.

== How to submit a proposal

Please send an email with the following information (in English or
Japanese) to grant2011(at)ruby-assn.org:

* Applicant name (individual or organization)
* Contact person
* Contact e-mail address
* Brief biography
* Project title
* Project details
* Project deliverables

== Schedule

All dates are in JST (UTC+09:00).

Nov 18 2011 Due date for submission of proposals
Dec 01 2011 Notification of the selection result
Jan 31 2012 Due date for the intermediate reports

Hello,

The following two projects have been selected from 16 proposals by
thegrant committee.
Ruby reference manual for you, me and everyoneApplicant: Yutaka Hara
Ruby has API documentation only in English and Japanese, and
theirworks are going separately. This project aims to provide a system
forRuby's API documentation with a model "one central
documentation(English) and its translations to other languages" to
make it easierto start translating to a new language.
kryptApplicant: Martin Boßlet
The goal of the krypt project is to provide a platform-
andlibrary-independent cryptography API for Ruby. Not only C-based
Rubyimplementations should be able to benefit from it, but there will
alsobe an implementation for JRuby.
The focus is on providing most of the features in Ruby,
whileadditionally offering the possibility to integrate OS-
orlanguage-specific native libraries to implement
cryptographicprimitives. The milestones of the grant period cover two
of the majorbuilding blocks of krypt: a streaming ASN.1 parser and a
Ruby DSL forparsing and encoding arbitrary ASN.1 objects - the basic
buildingblocks of most cryptographic protocols. There will be 2
separateimplementations for Java- and C-based Rubies to guarantee
maximumperformance, offering a Ruby interface that will be used
throughoutthe library to implement higher-level functionality.
Documentationincludes RDoc, general interface documentation in the
project wiki, aswell as a technical specification in the form of RSpec
specs.
Thanks for the applications.

Hello,

The previous mail was formatted wrong, so I resend it.

The following two projects have been selected from 16 proposals by the
grant committee.

Ruby reference manual for you, me and everyone
Applicant: Yutaka Hara

Ruby has API documentation only in English and Japanese, and their

krypt
Applicant: Martin Boßlet

The goal of the krypt project is to provide a platform- and
library-independent cryptography API for Ruby. Not only C-based Ruby
implementations should be able to benefit from it, but there will also
be an implementation for JRuby.

The focus is on providing most of the features in Ruby, while
additionally offering the possibility to integrate OS- or
language-specific native libraries to implement cryptographic
primitives. The milestones of the grant period cover two of the major
building blocks of krypt: a streaming ASN.1 parser and a Ruby DSL for
parsing and encoding arbitrary ASN.1 objects - the basic building
blocks of most cryptographic protocols. There will be 2 separate
implementations for Java- and C-based Rubies to guarantee maximum
performance, offering a Ruby interface that will be used throughout
the library to implement higher-level functionality. Documentation
