Hello all, Adam beat me to the punch on sending out an e-mail about the GSoC and I can only thank him for the warm welcome, and of course Fred for agreeing to mentor me. I'm really excited about working on a GNUstep project this summer, although my proposal seems very much lackluster when compared to Eric's project (Seriously! Let him tell you about it, it's shiny…). What I'm going to work on is a proper bridge between GNUstep's native Distributed Objects IPC mechanism and D-Bus (aka "poor man's DO"). The idea is that using D-Bus objects from Objective-C code (or vending objects via D-Bus) should be (for common cases) possible by sending the well-known messages to NSConnection and friends. That way, we would be able to leverage the plethora of software that exposes D-Bus interfaces.
Of course this kind of task has been attempted before, and while my tasks will include sifting through it and salvaging whatever seems (re-)usable, I hope to do one better and present something really polished by the end of the summer. In the meantime, I will keep you posted about progress, or – more likely – nag you with whatever crazy problems I might stumble upon.
