Hi all, On Monday GNOME accepted 29 Google Summer of Code interns and 10 Outreach Program for Women interns! All the interns made a contribution to the project they were applying to work on and almost all were connected to their mentors during the application process. We are thrilled to have these talented and dedicated contributors have a chance to spend the whole summer working on GNOME! Thanks to Google, Mozilla, Collabora, Red Hat, the Free Software Foundation, and the GNOME Foundation for making these internships possible!
Thank you to all the mentors who helped the applicants along the way and will guide the participants this summer! Everyone, please help out mentors from your project by also helping the participants when possible. Because we are closing the 3.6 feature proposal period, it would be great if mentors consider proposing the planned work as a 3.6 feature. If your intern’s proposal is about a well-defined user-visible feature, the student is an experienced GNOME contributor, and/or you are dedicated to spend part of your time working on the feature, please propose it for 3.6. Below, is the list of all the interns’ projects. The ones without a link are OPW projects. The interns will blog about their work on Planet GNOME throughout the summer. Thanks to everyone and welcome to the interns! Marina, on behalf of GSoC and OPW admins ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = GNOME Shell = Tanner Doshier - Smarter Searching in GNOME Shell - Rui Matos http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/doshitan/18001 Joost Verdoorn - Overhaul the Applications View - Florian Müllner http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/joost/10001 Giovanni Campagna - GNOME Shell Lock Screen - Marina Zhurakhinskaya http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/gcampax/16001 Ana Risteska - GNOME Shell Message Tray Improvements - Marina Zhurakhinskaya = GNOME Core Applications = Felipe Borges - Documents: Removable devices support - Cosimo Cecchi http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/felipeborges/6001 Meg Ford - GNOME Documents UIs for Viewing and Editing of File Metadata - Cosimo Cecchi http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/m_22/18001 Anna Zacchi - GNOME Documents - Cosimo Cecchi Fabiano Fidêncio - libosinfo-based express installation for major OSs - Zeeshan Ali Khattak http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/fidencio/41002 Jovanka Gulicoska - Ability to save and load virtual machine boxes - Zeeshan Ali Khattak http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/jovanka_g/35002 William Ting - GNOME - Epiphany Browser Synchronization - Xan López http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/wting/8001 Yann Soubeyrand - Add synchronization to Epiphany, the GNOME web browser - Xan López (Yann will work on synchronization along with William, or Xan will discuss other possible tasks with him.) http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/yann_soubeyrand/11001 Emily Gonyer - GNOME CLock - Seif Lotfy http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/gonyere/19001 Gopal Krishnan - Proposal to upgrade the UI of Gcalctool - Robert Ancell http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/gopal_krishnan/11001 Arth Patel - Replace lex-bison based parser with handwritten parser in gcalctool - Robert Ancell http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/arthp91/35002 Chris Baines - Completion of the Gnome Sudoku Vala Port - Thomas Andersen http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/cbaines/19002 = GNOME Technologies = Laurent Contzen - Creation of a new library providing models and widgets to display and choose contacts - Guillaume Desmottes http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/lcontzen/13001 Richard Schwarting - GXml and GObject Serialisation - Alberto Ruiz http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/aquarichy/34003 Rūdolfs Mazurs - Lockdown editor - Ryan Lortie http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/trz/11001 Žan Doberšek - Support for Gamepad API in WebKitGTK+ and general gamepad configuration options in System Settings - Carlos Garcia Campos http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/zdobersek/13001 Fabien Parent - Development of a graphical profiler for GNOME - Dodji Seketeli http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/fabienp/21002 Riko Yamada - GUPnP - Jens Georg = Other Applications = Udesh Liyanaarachchi - Voice Control For Banshee - Alexander Kojevnikov http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/udesh/50002 Timo Dörr - Improve overall Mac OS X port of Banshee - Olivier Dufour http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/dynalon/12001 Moritz Lüdecke - Helping on anjuta mades everybody happy - Johannes Schmid http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/ritze/8001 Stefano Candori - Revamp of the Activity Journal - Thorsten Prante http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/cando/26001 Izidor Matušov - Collaborative Getting Things GNOME!
