Hey guys, sorry for the delay in replying.

I think we should do this, however I'm concerned I may have limited time to
handle administrative tasks related to it.  Could someone else (Arne?) have
primary responsibility for managing it - and I will assist where necessary?

Ian.

That would be awesome for many reasons: Visibility, moving projects
forward of course, bringing new people to the community etc.

Worth mentioning the deadline is February 19th:

Looking at the list all of them sounds really interesting projects,
particularly the ones in the Brainstorming section.

My only concern is that these projects are defined too high-level to be
approached by a student in the GSoC timeline

Also it comes to my mind that some previous GSoC projects didn't went
live due to various reasons. Do we understand what went wrong and how to
avoid making the same mistakes?

I think this is a great GSoC project as it has a well known roadmap, as
well as being quite visible to the end user.

That would be great! Even though the code app base is not the great or
most interesting.

Google Summer of Code 2021?

2021-01-30 Thread Dr. Arne Babenhauserheide
Hi,

Registration for Google Summer of Code 2021 for Organizations is open.
Will we take part?

https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/

We need an „official representative“ of the project to register, which
would be Ian?

I started a list of interesting tasks in the wiki and on a Freesite
https://github.com/freenet/wiki/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2021
USK@1e~oSIunnUl4nWEdyZBLjYMGt1IladVmY7GhXnfmHRw,hAhN74IAmm2Eo5Qkr6ZCEcG3MVBEexrbFXBp61W3jcI,AQACAAE/gsoc-2021/2/

The ones that I see as most impactful on the short term now that we have
a mobile app in FDroid (yay DC*!) are content filters for
- ogg opus,
- vp9, and
- av1

Those would make the upcoming in-browser streaming fast enough that
freesites can provide video-on-demand in HD-quality.

In addition anything that can add features from icicles to the mobile
node: https://github.com/freenet-mobile/app

Best wishes,
Arne
