Actually there's a partial-third that should be mentioned (this is new): - Marcin Pertek, Python interface for writing Mozilla (NPAPI) plugins Marcin's project aims to build a complete interface such that a developer can write a Mozilla plugin using PyGame, Soya, wxPython, etc with full integration with the DOM model via py-xpcom. This means that, should this student complete his project, by the end of the Summer we'll be able to integrate Soya with Firefox. :-) I'll be co-mentoring this along with Mark Hammond, the maintainer of py-xpcom, helping with the graphics/multimedia integration side. > The other SoC proposals (there were 6) Actually 7 ;-) 8 if you count Marcin. Any of the other students who want to work on their proposals anyways will STILL receive help and, if desired, mentoring through the Summer. We don't care that you're not getting paid if you don't. There's also going to be a number of bounties valued between $25 and $250 for specific features, enhancements, and bugfixes related to Soya as well as models/artwork and program code utilizing Soya. These will be published on the ticket system at http://www.soya3d.org/ with a custom color and report view to stand out. I'm currently talking to several organizations about sponsoring features that interest them. While I want to encourage developers to work on things that interest them, despite wether there's money involved, this may be a great way to help Soya developers and artists to put more time into free software :-) > Finally I would like to thank Arc; without him this would not have > been possible. Thanks go to Jiba and Buddha Buck as well - without mentors these proposals would have never been approved. _______________________________________________ Soya-user mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/soya-user
