Looking Back and Forward for Open-Source Mathematics Software (2014)
When a year ends people make lists. I can only guess that several people are currently busy with writing “The 5 most revised papers on eprint ” and “The 8 best IACR flagship conference rump session presentations of 2014”. Since all the good lists are taken, my list has to be a little bit more personal. Alas, here is my list of stuff that happened in open-source computational mathematics in 2014 around me. That is, below I list what developments happened in 2014 and try to provide an outlook for 2015 (so that I can come back in a year to notice that nothing played out as planned).
If you are interested in any of the projects below feel invited to get involved. Also, if you are student and you are interested in working on one of the (bigger) projects listed below over the summer, get in touch: we could try to turn it into a Google Summer of Code 2015 project.

Sage & LMonade GSOC 2014
This year Sage and lmonade are mentoring organizations for the Google Summer of Code again. We have many exciting projects for students to work (from home) over the summer, get mentored by experts in the field and get paid by Google.
Note that projects are not limited to the ideas presented on these pages. That is, if you have a nice project you’d like to propose, by all means do so! The application deadline for students is March 21st. These days they should be talking to potential mentors and forming an applications. If you know any student who might be interested or have access to any forum such students might read, please forward this announcement.
