PlanetSoC
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! :)
New site features: tags and aggregator
Hi, folks!
Two new features to tell you about:
1. There is now a tags link to show what are popular tags and allow you to bring up a list of content by tag.
2. I've enabled the aggregator module to list off-site blogs. For now there is only one feed. ;) But please respond to this thread with the link to yours and I'll get it added.
First Blog post ever - Can we define a new number of hours per day?.
I never had a Blog before, mostlly because I'm not organized enough to have a extra time on my day to write about it, specially in a foreign language (so try to ignore any mistakes!).
This days I'm having a hard time trying to schedule all the stuff that I have to do. My final exams are in midle-end of June and only stops on June 30th so this SoC start is messing up my life. The mid-term evaluating definily make things even harder.
I have no doubts that this SoC experience its gone to be great (and lucrative) but until July I'm f***** !!
Can we set a new value for the number of hours in a day?
New feature: Google Map
I've enabled a new feature which allows students and mentors to specify their geographic location from a Google Map interface. To do so, simply go to your my account link, click "edit" and then click "location map." Move/zoom the map to your desired location, then single-click. After a couple of seconds, it will place a marker and automatically fill in the longitude/latitude for you (or you can just fill that in manually if you know it off the top of your head :)).
The good news? Now everyone will show up on the map link. Yay!
