New post at the Blog: typelevel.org/blog/2024/12/22/

This describes Ching Hian’s Google Summer of Code project, to take the Feral library and extend it to additional serverless cloud providers, so that applications can be more flexible, and less tied to specific clouds.

It's a great enhancement, and shows the way towards future work. Check it out!

Joplin Forum · GSoC 2024: Native encryption supportWith the conclusion of Google Summer of Code 2024, we’re thrilled to share that four of our sponsored projects achieved remarkable success! Continuing our series of posts highlighting each project, today we’re featuring the work of @wh201906. This project tackled the challenge of optimising encryption and decryption processes, boosting speed for mobile devices in particular (but desktop too). Additionally, wh201906 improved the encryption security by transitioning to a more robust 256-bit key. ...

Any open source folks in the bay area want to meet up?

I'm in San Jose / Mountain View today and tomorrow for the #gsoc2024 #GSoC dinner. I'm going to miss the mentor summit, but @karen will be there.

Thursday: I'll be hanging out in the Tetra Hotel lobby or bar area, from 3 pm to 5:30 pm today. Then I'm off to the GSoC celebration dinner.

On Thursday, I'll be wearing a gray @conservancy t-shirt and might be doing some needle work.

Friday morning, I'll also be hanging out in the hotel breakfast area or lobby.

Friday afternoon, you'll find me in the mentor meetup room for a few hours before my flight.

On Friday, look for the person in a purple flowered shirt and burgundy shorts.

Krita's 2024 Google Summer of Code project has been a success! Ken Lo has been working on pixel perfect ellipses, and his code has already been merged and will be in Krita 5.3, this year!

Krita · Picky Pixels: Krita's GSoC 2024!Well, somehow another summer* has come to a close and, with it, this year's Google Summer of Code has all but wrapped up! A little GSoC speedrun If you aren't familiar with Google Summer of Code ("GSoC", for the rest of this post to save my weary fingers), it's a yearly program that Google runs in which they pay people to successfully contribute features and improvements to free and open source software ("FOSS") projects like ours. It's hopefully a win-win for all parties involved: it's a decent summer gig and learning experience for the contributor, it incentivizes new people to dip their toes into the world of FOSS contribution, and it theoretically strengthens the ecosystem of FOSS software that companies like Google rely heavily on.

Hitesh Kumar Saini details his accomplishments during his Google Summer of Code 2024 project. He enhanced the enviroCar Android application by adding support for multiple map providers. This new extensible and independent map module enables the selection of a preferred map provider and style, both during compile-time and run-time of the application. Check out his blog post: blog.52north.org/2024/08/26/en

Week 11 of #GSoC2024 #mss

[What did I do?]

-> Enhanced the chat functionality by adding new features.

-> Previously, service messages in the chat were sent whenever a collaborator made changes to the flight path in an operation, cluttering the chat and reducing readability. I resolved this by creating a separate channel exclusively for service messages.

-> The collaborator list in the chat used to display only names and roles. I improved this by integrating the custom profile images feature I previously implemented, so now members are shown with their profile pictures.

-> Additionally, I updated the collaborator list to indicate active members with a green dot. I leveraged my earlier work on tracking active users within an operation to achieve this.

[Where did I get stuck?]

-> The service message currently only displays "{username} saved changes," but it needs to be more specific, such as "{username} updated a waypoint," "inserted a new waypoint," "deleted a waypoint," etc. I struggled with understanding the relevant code to make this change. My mentor guided me on which file to modify and provided an idea of how to implement it. I still have more work to do on this, which I plan to tackle this week.

[What's planned for the upcoming week?]

-> Get this PR merged and proceed with testing all these changes.

Week 2 #GSoC2024 #mss

[What did I do this week?]

- As mentioned earlier, this was the first week of my two-week break for university exams, so I was unable to work on the project.

[Where did I get stuck?]

- I was uncertain about how the branches were managed since each GSoC mentee had been assigned their own branch. I reached out to my mentor for clarification, and they explained how the process works.

[What's planned for the upcoming week?]

- I will try to find some time between the exams to debug some errors which were occurring earlier so I could create my first Pull Request.
