  • А пошли они.
    Всем чмоки в этом проекте! Засуньте эти 11 лет себе в жопу!

    Да ладно, чего там - подам заявку. Максимум - откажут :-)
    Пишут, что в 2014 году примут на 10 организаций больше, чем когда-либо раньше (т.е. 190) - может, и нам повезёт.

  • Maybe the next year we can have our place.
  • If we want to apply as a mentoring organisation for the Google summer of code 2014, we'll need to sort some things out.
    I have copied last years page, and removed the items that were finished last year.
    http://wiki.kolibrios.org/wiki/Google_s ... _code_2014

    Is there anyone who already had plans to do an item on the list ?
    Are all mentors still available? Or Is there anybody new that wishes to become a mentor?
    New project ideas perhaps?

  • IMHO, first of all, we need to make new release of Kolibri, based on results of 2013KSoC, before new SoC.
  • Any volunteers on updating data/*/docs/README.TXT and data/*/docs/INSTALL.TXT for "new release of Kolibri"?

    If everybody writes about his own realisations, it should not be such a big task.

  • Need a new version that did not consider the project dead!
    Нужна новая версия, чтобы не считали проект мертвым!

    IMHO, first of all, the obvious bugs have to be fixed, before a new version is released.
    Now every developer concentrates on adding new features rather than fixing bugs. Because adding features is fun, and fixing bugs is not fun.

    I try to fix all bugs assigned to me on the bugtracker, but there are almost none.. Does that mean my job is done? :lol:

  • 16/01/2014 EDIT by yogev_ezra: удалил оффтоп.

    Зачем оффтопить? Надо шаг за шагом уточнить действия до Google SOC - делать релиз или нет, если делать, то уже думать про доработки и документацию. Потом уже можно обсудить темы для кодирования, менторов, студентов и рекламу, чтобы завлечь студентов...
  • Приём заявок для организаций на GSoC 2014 начался сегодня, 3 февраля, и закончится 14 февраля. Новый релиз для подачи заявки абсолютно не нужен, но нужны 2 администратора и хотя бы 2 ментора. Ментор и администратор могут быть одни и те же люди. Пока у нас есть только 1 администратор (я) и вообще нет менторов. Если в ближайшую неделю больше никто не изъявит желание записаться как администратор или как ментор, то я в этом году заявку подавать не буду.
  • I can be a mentor for "Filesystem support" task. I have some experience in fs programming and I'm familiar with related kernel structures. It is common to see me online as well.

    However I'd prefer to change "* Add XFS write support" task to "* Add UDF read/write support" because:
    • UDF is used on DVD media and so it is more important feature for users;
    • UDF is used for universal boot images (cd, usb) by other OSes, which is also desirable KolibriOS feature;
    • There is not enough developers even for primary tasks, it is not ok to have two of them working on XFS (considered exotic);
    • Implementing writing without reading is much harder, I don't think such a task can attract students (anyway, there is NTFS).
    I'll update wiki page if nobody objects.

    That is a great idea.
