  5. What is your primary language? Malayalam, also comfortable with Hindi, Tamil and English
  6. Where are you located, and what hours do you tend to work? India, I work from 6pm IST onwards.
  7. Have you participated in an open-source project before? If so, please send us URLs to your profile pages for those projects, or some other demonstration of the work that you have done in open-source. If not, why do you want to work on an open-source project this summer? I work for this open source foundation called Twincling. The project I'm working on is http://www.twincling.org/project/alan. It is still under development.

About your project

  1. What is the name of your project? DGC GTK GUI
  2. Does your project come from an idea on the Summer Coding 2010 ideas page? If so, provide a link for reference, as well as a link to any discussions with mentors about your proposal. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_2010_ideas_-_DGC_GTK_GUI

I have communicated to my mentor https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Shakthimaan regarding the project. I have also taken the coding test and have mailed the final tarball t my mentor.

  1. Describe your project in 10-20 sentences. The project aims at creating a GUI using GTK+2 for Digital Gate Compiler (DGC, http://dgc.sourceforge.net/). The current GUI still uses old GTK+ API, and needs to be changed. The Use cases for the project are clearly specified at http://dgc.sourceforge.net/dgc_tutorial_toc.html#SEC_Contents. These use cases have to be re-implemented using GTK+ 2.0 APIs. The project will be implemented in C programming language with the aid of GTK+ and Supporting Libraries(GLib, GObject, GDK, GdkPixbuf and Pango).
  1. What is the timeline for development of your project? The timeline is yet to be discussed with the mentor. I'll update the wiki as soon as I finish discussing.
  1. Convince us, in 5-15 sentences, that you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described. This is usually where people describe their past experiences, credentials, prior projects, schoolwork, and that sort of thing, but be creative. Link to prior work or other resources as relevant.

You and the community

  1. If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Fedora community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours. The other two should be answers from members of the Fedora community, at least one of whom should be a Fedora Summer Coding mentor. Provide email contact information for non-Summer Coding mentors.
  2. What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?
  3. In addition to the required blogging minimum of twice per week, how do you propose to keep the community informed of your progress and any problems or questions you might have over the course of the project?

Miscellaneous

  1. We want to make sure that you are prepared before the project starts
    • Can you set up an appropriate development environment? Yes.
    • Have you met your proposed mentor and members of the associated community?
  2. What is your t-shirt size? M
  3. Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.
  4. Is there anything else we should have asked you or anything else that we should know that might make us like you or your project more?

Note: you will post this application on the wiki in the category Category:Summer Coding 2010 applications. We encourage you to browse this category and comment on the talk page of other applications. Also, others' comments and your responses on the talk page of your own application are viewed favorably, and, while we don't like repetitive spam, we welcome honest questions and discussion of your project idea on the mailing list and/or IRC.

The NeL project has some good general recommendations for writing proposals. We encourage Summer Coding code to include tests.

Comments

Use the Talk:Summer Coding 2010 student proposal application to actually make comment, which then appear here on the main proposal page. You can use this link to make a new comment].
