Google Summer of Code - urgent

Hi,

We got an OK last week to add a couple of GIMP projects to the GNOME bounties, but unfortunately, this didn't get done. I didn't have time to do the necessary (modifying the bounties on www.gnome.org).

The due date is tomorrow for projects, so if someone were to add two GIMP projects to the GNOME "bounties" page listing a contact as the gimp-dev list, or some other address, and post a news item about it, there is a chance that we will get the work done.

The two suggestions which seemed to get the most traction were a plug-in distribution system and a vector-based shapes tool. Simon agreed to mentor someone on the shapes tool, we need a mentor for the plug-in system. There is a related resource distribution project for gDesklets in the bounties already - some coordination might be possible.

So - the actions (time-sensitive) are:

Add these two bounties to www.gnome.org (module gnomeweb-wml in GNOME CVS, directory www.gnome.org/bounties edit bounties.xml, run

mono build.exe for i in *.php; do php $i > ${i#php}html; done cvs add files which need adding
cvs ci

Post a news item with a link to the relevant page to www.gimp.org

Send a mail to nat@nat.org and board@gnome.org letting us know that you've done that.

If this gets done today, there's a chance that someone will pick up these as a last-minute project. Otherwise, the boat will be missed.

Apologies on my part for not being clear last week that I would not have the time to do the above - I was pretty clear about it on IRC, but then IRC doesn't count.

Cheers,
Dave.

Yeah, seriously. The bounties are a Novell thing at the origin, remember? You could of course create/modify the HTML files by hand as an alternative, but then the next time someone runs that mono script, those changes will get overwritten.

Cheers, Dave.

Some of the other projects on the Summer Of Code list include fixing bugs listed in their bug tracking system as one of the items. Might be worth considering adding. If a student fixes enough bugs (depending on severity/importance) they would be eligible for a bounty or, another possibility is if they tackled one of the hot issues currently in bugzilla.

I'm willing to be a mentor for that one.

I can do that. Anyone doing that will need to talk to be about the server side of things anyway.

Thanks for the offer (yosh too). It looks like no-one picked up the task of adding the projects to the Google bounties (yet). The closing date for submissions is tomorrow, so we're probably a bit late now. Still, we should add them, and put up the news item in the hope that next time around we get contacted earlier to take part.

Who can do this today? (If the answer is "me" then don't bother answering, Just Do It ;)

Cheers, Dave.

I can do the news item. Could someone else please volunteer to do the web changes. I feel too old to install PHP. If cvs write access is missing, I can also apply the patch for you.

Done. Well, would have been nice if you had specified the amount, category, and funder.

mono build.exe

Hm, doesn't run on Win32 with .NET. Ok, maybe someone else will do this, the file is committed.

for i in *.php; do php $i > ${i#php}html; done

Why does the build.exe not do this? Why wasn't the whole thing done in PHP? Why isn't this done on the server?

cvs add files which need adding
cvs ci

Not done, see above.

Back out my change if needed, I'm pretty upset now because of this little thing being so complicated.

Michael

We're too late for anyone to get the projects into google, but it's probably worthwhile announcing just to stake our claim for next time...

Thanks to Michael Schumacher for updating the bounties.
