The so called "Optimal Area Polygonalization" problem was presented as a challenge at SoCG 20; see the [contest webpage](https://cgshop.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/). We used CGAL extensively in our implementation; see the [project webpage](http://acg.cs.tau.ac.il/projects/in-house-projects/optimal-area-polygonalization/optimal-area-polygonalization).

title: "Welcome: Nicolas Bourbaki"
description: "The end of egoless programming."
category: "news"

{% include JB/setup %}

<p>The CGAL Editorial Board was invited by <a href="https://www.accenture.com/fr-fr">Accenture France</a>
to perform a self-assessment.
This one week workshop in a monastery in the Maritime Alps was a unique experience, and it came
to us as the price of the <em>SoCG Test of Time Award</em> that the CGAL Project received last June.
The workshop led to the insight, that to attact even more brillant people than today,
we have to give up our egoless programming culture, which, ironically, had been
promoted by the same consulting firm around the year 2000.</p>

<p>While it is true that developers are listed as authors of the Manual chapters
the discussion with the bahavioral psychologists of Accenture made us understand
that people expect much more recognition. So do not be surprised when in CGAL 6.0
you will encounter the <code>CGAL::Hyperbolic_Teillaud_diagram_2</code> as well as the <code>CGAL::Oesau_graph_3</code>.
</p>

<br>
<h3>Welcome Nicolas Bourbaki</h3>

<p>In the workshop we also learned that we have to develop a <em>Welcome Culture</em>
which puts new developers in the spot light, even before they have made a first contribution.
We will do a better job for our 2024 Google Summmer of Code students, but let's start
with <em>Nicolas Bourbaki</em>, who currently works at <em>Ecole Normale Superieure</em> in Paris.</p>

<p>Nicolas first contribution will be a <em>Curves and Surfaces</em> package,
featuring the <a href="https://mathcurve.com/courbes2d.gb/oeuf/oeuf.shtml">Huegelschaeffer Egg</a>
and the <a href="https://mathcurve.com/courbes2d.gb/conchoiddecercle/conchoiddecercle.shtml">Conchoid</a> curve, as well as the <a href="https://mathcurve.com/surfaces/seifert/seifert.shtml">Seifert</a> surface.</p>


<div style="text-align:center;">
<a href="../../../../../images/April24/huegelschaeffer.gif"><img src="../../../../../images/April24/huegelschaeffer.gif" style="max-width:85%"/></a><br>
<br><small>The Huegelschaeffer egg curve.</small>
</div>

<p>These curves and surfaces may seem of only theoretical interest which, however, is completely wrong.
The conchoid is strongly related to the study of linkages of autonomous humanoid robotics,
while the Seifert surface led to the invention of the
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwkWP--UQFA">Quechua 2</a> tent made by Decathlon.</p>


<h3>Back to the Physical World</h3>

<p>While a <a href="https://www.cgal.org/people.html">People</a> web page is a nice living document
we decided to produce a <em>physical twin</em> with portrait photos not made with an iphone
but by a portrait photograph. We are grateful to the Inria Research Center in Sophia-Antipolis
which offers a physical wall in the Gilles Kahn Auditorium for hosting the CGAL Editorial Board Gallery.

\textbf{\large The Computational Geometry Algorithm Library
(\cgal{}) open-source project, has been accepted to participate in
the 2024 Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program; see
\url{https://g.co/gsoc}. This means that
Google is supporting \cgal{} by funding several internships
potentially from all over the world, for writing code under the
guidance of experienced developers, so called mentors.}

\textbf{{\large If you are a smart developer, have the time, and
would like to contribute and to get paid for that, you should
apply! If you have some master or PhD students who can spend their
summer (full time) on a nice \cgal{} project, please advise them
to apply.} Applications are accepted till April~2\textsuperscript{nd}.}

\textbf{\large We have already listed several ideas for projects and
instructions to applicants at
\url{https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/wiki/Project-Ideas}. If you
find a project that suits your expertise and interest, contact the
mentor of the project to get acquainted with her or him and to
obtain more details.}

\textbf{Programming online from their home, GSoC contributors spend
12+ weeks on their projects earning stipends upon completion of
their milestones. Volunteer mentors help GSoC contributors plan
their time, answer questions and provide guidance on best
practices, project-specific tools, and community norms while
helping integrate GSoC contributors into their communities.}

\textbf{GSoC contributors receive an invaluable learning experience,
an introduction to the global FOSS community and something that
potential employers love to see on resumes!}
