​Hi, my name is Mariano,i'm a student at University of Quilmes. i have a experience in other programing languages like Scala, or Objective-c, and i like to participate in a real Smaltalk project. My background in this tecnology, is a little small, i never make a real project (I do in other tecnlogies) and i think the summer of code is a great oportunity for learn and practice.

My ideas are:

Level: intermediate Possible mentor: guillermo polito Possible second mentor: (?) Description: jabber client / server to communicate smaltalk with this common protocol. Technical Details: Create a jabber client api, to provide the capacity to connect with accouts like google talk, or facebook chat. Create a jabber api server, with the capacity of accept connection of diferent jabber clients. Benefits to the Student: - Learn ​​ ​​ ​ and understand ​ architecture ​​ server/client - Learn about the protocol jabber.

​ ​ - Use a highly reflective dynamic language​

Benefits to the Community: - Server and client for jabber protocol - Posible implementations for chatbots, chatclients, chatservers ​

And :

​Level: intermediate Possible mentor: Guillermo Polito Possible second mentor: (?) Description: Animation Library based on Athens Technical Details: Animation Library, to make visual animation objects in the screen, such as move, bounce , etc. Benefits to the Student: - Learn the basics of animations and moving objects. - Learn about manage of graphics - Understand the concepts of movement functions

Benefits to the Community: - Get a library to make custom animations with the posibility of add new ones.

​

​Regards, Mariano

Description: Gamification is becoming more and more popular in a lot of applications. What about gamify the pharo development process? You get points by adding comments, fixing bugs or answering questions. You can be a comment healer, a bug slayer, a Zinc magician. The intend of this project is to build an application that integrates with the Pharo development process tools (issue tracker, smalltalkhub, stack overflow) and provides a gamified experience, so we get more and more motivated to code.

Technical Details: This project implies the creation of an application which communicates with different applications APIs and perform some analysis on them such as running source code Lint rules. Additionally, this application should have a web frontend.

Benefits to the Student - Use a highly reflective dynamic language - Learn to develop a complex application architecture with several communicating components - Learn about ramification concepts - Learn about an open source project development and integration process, such as Pharo - Learn web application development techniques

Benefits to the Community - have a platform to organize activities and events around the Pharo development - be more motivated to participate into the development for rewards such as experience, badges and abilities

Hi Janko!

We have this:

Level: intermediate Possible mentor: Guillermo Polito

Possible second mentor: Esteban Lorenzano

Description: DBXTalk database driver nowadays uses a native library called OpenDBX. This library stands as an adaptor between different database drivers, implemented in C. This native library supposes many problems: - it should be normally compiled for each different platform (Windows, *nix, macosx) and database vendor - each of its bugs should be fixed in a C source code base - OpenDBX do not expose the particular behavior of each database vendor, but their common denominator - difficulty for distribution, and problems to locate libraries. This project proposes to use NativeBoost bindings to remove the necessity of the native openDBX library, simplifying the deployment of applications using relational databases, and moving all the code base to Smalltalk.

Technical Details: This project supposes the replacement of openDBX old FFI bindings by direct nativeBoost bindings to the database drivers. The new drivers should be completely written in Smalltalk, and take care of platform and library resolution in the image side. These drivers should be polymorphic while also enabling the access to specific API provided by database vendors.

Benefits to the Student - Use a highly reflective dynamic language - Learn the basics of foreign function interface (and its exponent NativeBoost) - Learn how to manage external resources and platform specific native code - Put into usage its object design skills to transform a structured designed library into an object oriented one

Benefits to the Community - A more malleable and full smalltalk implementation of relational database drivers - Easier deploy for applications using relational databases - Database divers exposing their particular apis, providing access to features not available before

Hi janko

How do you want to proceed for the topics? I have a list of topics now where do we write them.

- tool support rewrite rules - new generation debugger - new change model and session manager (with martin dias) - improving roassal (with alexandre bergel et vanessa pena) - improving eyesee (with alexandre bergel et vanessa pena) - support touch event - UIPainter (with esteban lorenzano) - New widgets

Dear Smalltalkers,

Time for your cool project ideas on this year Smalltalk GSoC!

For now just express any idea you have here on the mailing list. Later we will together develop it to be in complete format together with two mentors needed. Deadline is end of Mart, so we have three weeks of time. To see how fully developed ideas look like please look at 2012 ones at: http://gsoc2012.esug.org/ideas.

Note also that students yourselves can propose a GSoC project. So if you like to be a student on this year GSoC and have a nice idea, don't be shy and propose it here! The community will listen you and guide to the really nicely proposed project. Last year 6 student proposed projects were accepted and finished successfully!

For the community, start looking around for students. Think about how to approach the universities near by you, do you know who to contact there, etc.

We are namely preparing an application to this year Smalltalk Google Summer of Code under ESUG umbrella, as last year. If accepted, Google will pay few stipendiums to students on our Smalltalk projects.

More on our special Smalltalk GSoC 2013 website:

http://gsoc2013.esug.org

I'm specially inviting mentors of all past GSoCs to rejoin the mentors mailing list, where we discuss all details about this year GSoC:

While students interested on GSoC please join a special Smalltalk GSoC mailing list for you:
