Blend equations

Hi, blendEquation $= ... has no effect on my system, ghc 6.4.1/6.4.2 with this GL implementation: OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 6600 GT/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW! OpenGL version string: 2.0.2 NVIDIA 87.56 It works from C though. By the way, it would be so great to have GLSL support in HOpenGL. Any chance to see it soon? Thanks, Gunnar.

Haskell.org and Google Summer of Code 2006

Hello, It is now official. Haskell.org is a mentoring organization for this year's Summer of Code programme. You can see it listed on the official site <http://code.google.com/soc/> clicking on `Haskell.org (ideas)' you'll be directed to the trac site we are setting up. (It's 4 AM and I've just finished adding the projects, and cleaning things up a bit.) I am _very_ happy about seeing this project working out for real. I fear that I wouldn't be able to reach everybody even mailing all the important mailing list; I hope many students will be able to take advantage of this great occasion. Help me spread the word, tell everybody about the project :-) You can find the new site here <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/>, the StartPage will be updated with details during the program. Projects ideas and volunteers for mentoring are still very much welcome! students' application period starts on May 1. Thanks very much for the support, hope to hear thoughts and proposals, Paolo. --

Yes, you should definitely apply. This project is for students, the CV isn't even asked! Google is doing a very nice job in this regard. It is fabulous to hear from students, I really hope to get more replies. I think it is a good idea to contact the mentor ASAP. Good luck! Paolo. --

Google Summer of Code 2006

Hello, Haskell.org is going to partecipate as mentoring organization to the Google Summer of Code programme of this year. We have formed a group of volunteers taking care of the administrative work as well as the mentoring part. The group is listed here: <http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Summer_of_Code:_People>. We are now looking for projects, and mentors. We've reached number 24 but we are happily going to add more, Haskell Open Source paid work for the summer! If you run some active open source program you might want to mentor some student who will be working on your code, for example. Either just add your ideas here: <http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Summer_of_Code:_Project_suggestions> (as well as your informations on the People's page) or contact me for details. I am also looking for students, I'd like to ear from them if they are going to partecipate with Haskell projects, last year I was alone! (I did write the bindings to the Cairo vector graphics library and integrated them in Gtk2Hs.) Details about the programme itself can be found on the official webpage: http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html Hoping you like the idea as much as me, Paolo. --
