Hi, my name is Mariano,i'm a student at University of Quilmes. i have a experience in other programing languages like Scala, or Objective-c, and i like to participate in a real Smaltalk project. My background in this tecnology, is a little small, i never make a real project (I do in other tecnlogies) and i think the summer of code is a great oportunity for learn and practice.
My ideas are: Level: intermediate Possible mentor: guillermo polito Possible second mentor: (?) Description: jabber client / server to communicate smaltalk with this common protocol. Technical Details: Create a jabber client api, to provide the capacity to connect with accouts like google talk, or facebook chat. Create a jabber api server, with the capacity of accept connection of diferent jabber clients. Benefits to the Student: - Learn and understand architecture server/client - Learn about the protocol jabber. - Use a highly reflective dynamic language Benefits to the Community: - Server and client for jabber protocol - Posible implementations for chatbots, chatclients, chatservers And : Level: intermediate Possible mentor: Guillermo Polito Possible second mentor: (?) Description: Animation Library based on Athens Technical Details: Animation Library, to make visual animation objects in the screen, such as move, bounce , etc. Benefits to the Student: - Learn the basics of animations and moving objects. - Learn about manage of graphics - Understand the concepts of movement functions Benefits to the Community: - Get a library to make custom animations with the posibility of add new ones.
