Re: Interested in becoming a GSOC mentor for ubuntu?

Nicholas Skaggs:

Do you know an area of ubuntu that could use some love?


We need a calendar application that is good enough for serious organization.

The closest one is California, but is buggy as hell. There is also the 
Thunderbird Lightning extension, but the interface is slow due to the 
dated architecture of the software.


Other thing that could be interesting is to cut down the complexities of 
aMule and make a simpler P2P application, what will allow to search 
mostly anything in an easy way. Also it will be short to develop, as is 
mostly about figuring out what to remove.


In this latest case perhaps I could be a good mentor, as I have written 
parts of the official eMule documentation myself.


On the other hand, even when I'm skilled in programming, I have never 
developed a serious software myself. So probably at some point it would 
be good to have some help.

Interested in becoming a GSOC mentor for ubuntu?

2016-02-10 Thread Nicholas Skaggs
Ubuntu has applied for GSOC 2016, but we need project ideas for 
prospective students, and mentors to mentor them.


Do you know an area of ubuntu that could use some love?
Are you willing to guide someone else to accomplish your idea?

If you can answer yes to both of those questions, we want to hear from 
you. We've put together all the information you need to know as a mentor 
on community.u.c[1]. All applications must be submitted by Feb 19th, so 
we must have all ideas and potential mentors before that time. Please 
see the site for more details[1], and start discussing your ideas and 
adding them to the wiki[2]!
