What is it?
We will be applying for participation again in 2010.
Draft Project Ideas
This is a list of ideas for projects that we feel would add useful functionality to Geeklog (this is a work in progress - expect this list to change before GSoC 2010 is open for application):
- Social Networking Support (SocNet)
- New Calendar Plugin
- Add Support for Dynamic Feeds with Access Control
- Improve the Configuration GUI
- New modules for our Spam filter
- Cross Site Alerting and Publication API
- Core Notification Service
- more (mostly unfinished) ideas: GSoC Brainstorming
We're also willing to accept new ideas from students. In that case, please check that what you're proposing isn't already available (e.g. with some existing add-on). For more inspiration, you can also refer to our list of leftover ideas (not all of them fully fleshed out) from previous years.
Notes for Students
We have collected some information for students here. Please take a moment to read them. Thanks.
Recommended reading
Google provides an extensive FAQ. There's also a very informative Advice for Students page. We recommend reading those first.
Required skills
Students interested in any of the above projects should have reasonable experience with PHP and some basic SQL knowledge. Being able to set up your own LAMP server (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) would probably help but isn't a prerequisite.
Geeklog uses Mercurial for revision control (aka version control aka source code management). Students should have a basic grasp of revision control - we can help you with the specifics of Using Mercurial.
Background information
Geeklog (current version: 1.6.1) is the software you may have seen running websites such as Groklaw.
Contact
We suggest that you join our Development Mailing List, introduce yourself and the project(s) you are interested in. This list is the best place for any questions or discussions related to the projects and their development.
Or you can hop on our IRC channel, #geeklog at irc.freenode.net and talk to us directly (some patience required - not everyone may be online there all the time).
If you need a more private communication channel, you can also email us at
- contact-us(AT)lists.geeklog.net
or use this web form. This is a private mailing list which is read only by the GSoC mentors.
For your (draft) proposal, please also have a look at our application template from 2009(!).
Further Reading
- Getting Started with Geeklog development
- The Summer of Code topic on geeklog.net provides coverage of our previous participation in the Google Summer of Code.
