Welcome to PlanetSoC 2006!
Welcome to the unofficial site for folks involved in Google's Summer of Code 2006 program! Here's some of the stuff you can do:
- First, Sign up to your organization. Once approved, this will give you the ability to interact with all the site's features.
- Edit your profile settings to include additional details, such as your location, so that it can be displayed on the lovely Google map!
- Post to your blog: Both students and mentors can post blogs.
- Chill out at the forums, meet other folks involved with SoC, share tips and tricks, and just generally hang out and have fun. :)
- ...and much more! ;)
I'm very open to suggestions on other features to enable. Please make post any suggestions to the About PlanetSoC forum, and have fun! :)
Well, there's the end to that little experiment. ;)
For obvious reasons, anonymous comments are now disabled. :P~
Sorry about the spam problem folks.. should be fixed now. Apologies if I inadvertently deleted any *legitimate* comments talking about home insurance or viagra whatever. ;)
Thanks Chani for the note!
spam spam spam! we're drowning in spam!
it seems the spammers have been flooding planetsoc.
and I can't even delete comments on my own blog. wtf!?
whoever the admin is, please, kill the spam... if there's no easy way to filter it then just disable commenting, 'cause soc is over now. I really don't want my blog covered in viagra ads. I'd rahter delete all my posts - but then a little bit of history would be erased, too. :(
Well it has come to an end...
My code is in and done. Been for a little while now. She works like a charm :-D and I am very proud. I should take this time to thank Angie, Robert, Ted, Jeff and anyone else involved in Drupal for selecting me and giving me this opportunity. It has been a blast and what a way to spend the summer.
Drupal had 14 projects and all are ready for public testing : http://drupal.org/node/78942
I have taken the money that I have recieved and spent it on a robot (thats right, a robot). I figured it was time for a new one, this one will feature vision, speech recongition (just simple commands like "Robot, turn right"). O and it will be controllable from a web interface (perhaps a drupal module < evil laugh >).
Summary
Hello!
This is a short summary of my work during Google Summer of Code 2006.
The main idea of this post is to be a single repository for all the links I need to provide Google folks to make my work known.
For the other people reading this blog entry, my SoC 2006 proposal is described here.
Well the first thing to point is my blog, which, by the way, is the one you are reading right now. I tried to post on my blog a brief of every step I took to accomplish my work. However on the last weeks of the program I hadn't enough time to feed it with detailed information.
oh. um. it works now.
although I haven't slept one bit and it's nearly 1pm. I think I've been awake over 24 hours.
er... now what?
I guess I should do some programming this evening if I find the time. er, and if I don't fall asleep first. maybe programming can wait 'till tomorrow.
I really, really hate kde4 sometimes. and everything related to it.
yeah, so my soc project is done. since friday or saturday I've been trying to merge kopete trunk to my branch, to make sure my code works with whatever everyone else has been doing.
you wouldn't believe the fucking problems I've had. svn merge, dbus, qt-copy, ccmake, qca, qconf, weird things in kdenetwork... all of it wants to stop me from compiling kopete. it's really gettting quite fucking ridiculous.
so, I've no fucking clue when my code will actually be available, because I'm too fucking pissed off at the endless bullshit I'm going through! goddamn fucking stupid fucking programs! gah! I am so sick of all the tools breaking every time I try to upgrade anything vaguely related to kde4!
XMMS2 Collections read for use!
There, SoC is over! Not much updates here along the way, but I managed to reach all my objectives, which means collections are now operational in XMMS2! More thorough testing will happen when clients start using the new API, and I will of course keep working on the project to fix things, finish the last details and help make it into the release after the next. But most of the work is over, which means it is now possible to create dynamic collections, use party shuffle playlists, query the medialib without writing SQL queries, etc. I posted a mini-HOWTO to show how to work with collections using the standard XMMS2 cli. More details can be found on the concept and the design pages of the wiki.
Writer has Learned new Tricks
MDB2_Schema_Writer now supports the new INSERT syntax and so the new additions: UPDATEs and DELETEs.
This is the last main modification for DML addition.
You can find the writer here.
Parsing one more level
Today I have added support for functions inside expressions and vice-versa into Parser.
Now we can do things like:
INSERT INTO Example
(foo, birthday, foolish) VALUES
('2', myfunc(('1' + '2')), ('3' + functionA('1', '2')));
UPDATE Example SET
foo='10',
foolish=(functionA('1', '2') + functionB('3', '4'))
WHERE (bar = lower('somestring'));
DELETE FROM Example WHERE (functionA('1', '2') + functionB('3', '4'));
