GSoC 2010

Latest revision as of 13:00, 18 March 2011

We would like for MeeGo to support the Google Summer of Code program this year if possible; however, applications need to be submitted by March 12 at 23:00 UTC, so we don't have much time. We need someone to step up and organize it to make sure that our application gets submitted.

Merge with Maemo's GSoC application?

We've announced our merge with Maemo so it would be weird, from the public, that Maemo and MeeGo are submitting two applications. We should consider merging our efforts together.

Projects

• There is currently a list of Maemo project ideas, but I'd like to see some that address the broader MeeGo project.
• We can also go through our planned feature list of MeeGo and extract some that suited for GSoC, I've already spotted a few as listed below. Those tasks are not secret and interesting.

If students are interested in creating a MeeGo Image Creator (called as MIC2 before, http://moblin.org/projects/moblin-image-creator-2) with QT UI, that will be great. :-）

• Cloud storage support (like Ubuntu One)
• Online music store support
• Boot time optimization (difficult task)
• Power optimization (difficult task)
• btrfs snapshot GUI and system integration
• Better handling of X failures (think of a safe mode)
