The GNOME Foundation is looking for developers to enhance the developer experience of using GTK+ to port and create applications on MeeGo Handset devices.
Knowledge of the MeeGo Handset development process, and GTK+ internals will be required to carry out the work. The tasks to be achieved are: - Ensure that GTK+ applications display as expected on the MeeGo Handset platform, including checking that fixes to the compositor are made if necessary. - Add to upstream GTK+ helper functionality to create stand-alone GTK+ applications to run on MeeGo. - Merge Hildon widgets functionality into GTK+ upstream, where it makes sense to do so. The money available for the project is $50,000, and the bidder selection will be made by a group including professional consultants with GTK+ and MeeGo experience and GNOME Foundation Board members. Bids should include: - Results of testing stock GTK+ applications on the MeeGo Handset platform - Details of your research into what GTK+ functionality needs to be added to ease porting of stock applications to MeeGo Handset. - The list of widgets and functionality ported from Hildon to upstream GTK+, including a review of how the functionality would be integrated (extending existing widgets, new widgets, etc.) - A time line and schedule for the whole project - References to previous MeeGo, MeeGo Handset, Maemo, or GTK+ work. Note that the goal of the GNOME Foundation for this project is upstream acceptance of the various modifications made during the project. Please send your proposals to board-l...@gnome.org with the subject line "MeeGo Handset Bid".
