Status Report:GSoC and SoK 2011

GSoC

Trever Fischer

Project Name: KDE + Zeitgeist http://zeitgeist-project.com

A _Brief_ Description Consider your browser history, which lets you see everything you looked at in the last few days, weeks, whatever. What if this history also included the music you listened to, the conversations you had, the places you traveled to, the files you downloaded, the people you called, and more?

Goal Tight integration between KDE and Zeitgeist

Result While the goal was originally to have some very tight integration, that is still a little ways off. Today though, all KDE activity information ends up going to Zeitgeist. No nice flashy way to do it though because UI design is hard.

Best thing Working with Gnomies

What did you learn Zeitgeist and the whole concept of the semantic desktop has applications far beyond the desktop form factor.

Screenshot None, it is all mostly internal bits.

Project: Tagging and Resource Management in Krita

Description: Under this project, I did three parts

  • Resource management -- This gives ability to add and remove resources from resource server. It also adds ability upload and download resources through GHNS option.
  • Tagging -- Provides the feature for adding and deleting tags to the resources and also able to search resources through tags. Tags can be shared with other kde applications with the help of nepomuk.
  • Sketchbook Tagging - We can save our resources priority for the sessions and can able to shift the sessions easily.


Goal: To know the coding style and techniques in open source projects by completing the proposed objectives.

Status: Completed and merged Resource Management and Tagging. Sketch Book Tagging is completed but not merged.

Awesome about GSOC: Working hard to get into gsoc and the guidance showed by KDE people (It's really great. . !)

Learned: Working out until get satisfied with the code and its functionality . . . ;)

Result: Completed my target and also gained lot of confidence to do more open source projects.

Project Name: Improving management of slides in Calligra Stage

A _Brief_ Description: Calligra Stage has three slides management tools: the slides sorter view, the document slides side panel and the custom slides shows view. The aim of this project was to improve the usability of Stage slides management, improving the functionality and consistency in each of these tools.

Goal: This project goals were the following:

A new implementation of custom slides show as a Stage view mode. New functionality in slides sorter: menus on drag-and-drop, and selection effects similar to those seen in KDE-based file managers. New functionality in custom slides show: drag-and-drop interfaces, and selection effects similar to those seen in KDE-based file managers. New functionality in Document Structure Docker: drag-and-drop interfaces, menus on drag-and-drop, and selection effects similar to those seen in KDE-based file managers. Present to the user the Slides Sorter View as an extension of the document structure docker. Reuse document model and view classes where possible. Provide functionality and user interfaces that can be reused in future views.

Result: Most of the goals were accomplished. In addition to the initial goals, there was also work in improve the support for undo/redo in each view (delete a slide removes also the slide from all custom slide shows and undo command restores the slide within document and custom slide shows). Other features added were: support for multiple copies of a slide within the custom slide shows, zooming in Slides Sorter View and Custom Slide Shows View, and tabs to switch between views. However the integration between slides sorter view and the document structure docker (in terms of view/model reuse) was not fully achieved due to the more general nature of document structure docker within Calligra. By sure, in the future the integration and code reuse could be improved with a further work.

Best thing: Work with some Calligra developers and their advices. I learned new ways to improve my code and achieve better results.

What was awesome about GSoC ? Project, task and Mentor and community support.

One thing you learned: Apart of some programming techniques and that with kexi/calligra complexity is like with iceberg: you see only the top of it, I think that the most important is that I've learned how the community works, where to look for help and that people like to help. Ok, there should be one thing, but there is one other is also feel important: I've learned that lots of things is already written and that the "code" is somewhere there and is ready for use and/or learn from it.

Project: Printing support for KStars

Aim of the project: The aim of my project was to extend KStars printing support in a way that will enable users to print finder charts with logging forms, containing multiple field of view snapshots and details about observed objects, in a way that ensures both customizability and ease of use.

Status: All features from the proposal completed together with a few other features and fixes. Merged with master branch.

What was great about GSoC: What's great about GSoC is that it enables people to start contributing to Open Source projects in an organized way: with clear objectives, timeline and someone that will follow their progress and help them, if it's needed.

One thing I've learnt: Apart from the experience I've gained while working on actual coding, I believe my communication and project planning skills have improved.

Project: Integration of kde-telepathy with the plasma workspace
Description: My project consisted in porting KDE-Telepahty to the plasma desktop with the aid of plasmoids.

Blog: http://nwoki.wordpress.com/
Irc: #[email protected] (nwoki)

Presence Plasmoid
KDE-Telepathy Alpha release post
Nepomuk QML Plugin for the ktelepathy library
KDE-Telepathy contacts

What was awesome about GSoC:
The GSoC is an excellent way to:

  • get into real coding if you have no experience
  • polish your coding skills
  • get to know skilled and awesome people in the community
  • get you further integrated in the KDE/Gnome community

but mostly of all, it gives you the opportunity to show your love and dedication for the project you're working with which was my case as I was already contributing code to KDE-Telepathy before the GSoC started and used this opportunity to show off some cool ideas I had.

One thing you learned:
Nothing is too hard to accomplish if you love what you do

Karan Pratap Singh

Project: KDE Plasma Educational Desktop


Project Description: KDE Plasma Educational Desktop is aimed at school children who are in the 4th Grade or lower classes. It will enable the children access to great KDE EDU software through an easy to use and interactive desktop environment.

KDE Plasma Educational Desktop will also provide an option to be remote controlled by the class teacher so that the children can only run the approved softwares on their desktops.

It will also have an easy to use Application Launcher plasmoid which will be used by children to launch the applications.

KDE Plasma Educational Desktop is a joint project of both KDE Plasma and KDE EDU.

As soon as the desktop version is done, Tablet and Netbook versions will also be developed.

Screenshot 2: http://kpsfoo.in/blog/gsoc-update-after-a-looong-time-2/containment_1/


What was awesome about GSoC: There are a lot of things which were awesome in the GSoC with KDE:-

1) I got to work on an actual project which will provide significant benefits to the students.

2) I got to learn a lot and interact with all the Genius people involved in KDE.

3) I learnt how to get help, how to communicate better with others and how to have fun KDE style ;)

4) I also learnt that proper time and project management skills are crucial for a fruitful outcome!

5) I am now a member of the community and will continue to contribute to make KDE even more awesome than it already is!

6) Since this was my first time working for an Open Source organization, I learned a lot of the dynamics behind how Open Source software actually works!


One Thing I learned: Coding is just part of the process. Always understand the problem and then begin coding. Communication with your mentors and understanding and interpreting their guidelines correctly is a must! And the best way to learn new code is to add little debug/print statements all over the code so that you know which part does what exactly! And never ever ever assume anything, it will cost you precious time! :)

GSoC Project: Single Canvas presentation mode in Calligra Stage

Presentations, the (new) Stage way (With links to screenshots, video with a demo of the feature)

Sample presentation (used for my project presentation at the Desktop Summit)

GSoC for me, was awesome because...

With this project I started my contribution to open source software that I use and like. A summer put to good use, implemented a feature I like, worked with great developers, earned for the first time, attended the Desktop Summit in Berlin and now feel part of the awesome KDE community - what more to ask for!

One thing I learnt

Believe in yourself and ask when you are not sure. They are awesome people out there, who started just like you.

IRC nick: fid_jose

a short project description or link to one: This project is intended to solve the tradicional lack of accessibility support of KDE applications by making KMail, Dolphin and Kopete are accessible. However, most of the work I've done has been in the qt-at-spi bridge (the bridge which allows Qt applications to be handled by accessibility tools) and Qt itself.


what was awesome about GSoC: Contributing to a Free Software project with other developers and seeing how the project was improving.

one thing you learned: Good communication between developers and organizing yourself well are at least as important as writing code.

Project: Context Dependent Speech Recognition for simon

Brief: I created a system in simon for gathering information about the state of the user's machine (eg. which programs are open, which program has the active window, the active window's title, which audio input device is being used, etc.). This information helps to create a context that simon can use to improve its speech recognition results by disabling certain active vocabulary words, and choosing the most appropriate acoustic model. I also made the system that will disable active vocabulary words in response to user context changes, and I am continuing to work on the project after GSoC in order to make the system that will choose the most appropriate acoustic model based on the user context.

What was awesome about GSoC: It's a great opportunity to work on what you like and what you want. You know, when you're doing what you like as your day job, it's a blessing for you. That's exactly what GSoC is about and what is awesome about it.

On the awesome things about GSoC for KDE - being able to dive full time in a project I love and I believe in, that's what I found as the most awesome thing.

One thing you learned: How important it is to be able to organize your time, especially when you're working at home. From the coding-side, I really learnt a lot, be it theoretical stuff, programming techniques and patterns etc. And lastly - I learned that KDE is a bunch of really cool people to which I want and proudly will belong to.

Project: Desktop Synchronization For OwnCloud

Brief Description: Drop a file in your laptop and have it automatically backed up in your own personal space on the web ! also have the file available from any device. Keep all the copies of your files up-to-date and sync'ed in all devices. That is in essence what this project aims to do.

The Best thing about GSoC: 1. You have a fixed task that you sign-up for, lesser confusion. 2. Having an experience of GSoC gives you a first hand experience how you must approach any open source project to minimize the amount of time wasted (yours and others) and maximize the productivity and satisfaction of having finished the task you signed up for.

What did you learn: 1. Sending Regular Status Updates is very very important. 2. Never under-estimate how large, seemingly simple ideas can grow into ! 3. Commit Regularly even if the change is something stupid. Very useful in providing status updates.

Project: Multithreaded Tool Actions System for Krita

Project Page: page

Goal Krita has two different subsystems accessing the image: tools and updating threads. The update process is safe (no two threads access the same pixel at the same time), but the tools are not owned by the scheduler, so they must use explicit locking to avoid collisions. I wanted to encapsulate the tools into job objects those will be stored in the same queue as updater's walkers. That would make the system safe so we'd be able to say "Krita is a truly multithreaded application"

Status: Finished the design of all the four subsystems. Implemented Strokes Framework and Non-tool Actions framework. Ported the most important painting tools to the new frameworks. Now they work more smooth because actual image processing is done separately and asynchronously from the UI events. Porting of some of the tools is still pending.

Awesome: It's always awesome to learn new things!

One thing I learned: You always need to think over the design of new systems well before actual writing begins.

Overview and conclusions (last blog post): The end of the GSoC...

The best thing about GSoC for me : I am very excited that I had the opportunity to work on a real project. I know a lot of people that use Kate and it's great to be able to tell them : "You know that part? That feature? It was me who implemented it :D"

What did I learn : It was the first time a used GIT and I had a lot of problems with it at the beginning. Also I had some problems working with a big project, but I managed and next time it will be much easier.

Project: ownCloud Sharing

Status: Sharing was merged into master. I'm almost finished and I am working on a few final UI components. I have plans to continue working on it after the release of ownCloud 2.0.

Project Proposal: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2011/mtgap/3001

Description: This project involved creating a generic library for sharing between users on ownCloud with the intent of sharing files, contacts, music, bookmarks, and anything else that ownCloud is being used for. It also involved designing a user interface for quickly sharing files from the user interface.

Goal: My goal was to be able to share a file or folder between two users on ownCloud and then expand on that for more complicated situations for multiple users and a permission system.

Result: In the end I completed the backend for sharing and a basic permissions system (somethings were disabled because file-versioning isn't completed yet). Users are able to share files or folders easily with other users using the dropdown interface from the file browser. I also integrated the public links app with the sharing app I designed in order to reduce the code size.

Link (Blog): http://blog.gapinthecloud.com

Last blog post with screenshots: http://blog.gapinthecloud.com/2011/08/20/gsoc-new-sharing-interface-for-owncloud/

What was awesome about GSoC: I was welcomed into the ownCloud community and I was included in decisions about the design and components of ownCloud outside of my own GSoC work. I had a lot of fun and made money for my college education.

What I learned: I learned a lot about using git for version control and using classes and objects in php. This was the first time I programmed with a large team and it was great to be able to get help with my programming troubles.

What was awesome about GSoC: Do a project from the initial design to the program implementation and finally the program testing. It is a project that have all the parts, a complete project. I have full autonomy, though sometimes unexpected problems appear, I can't be more excited to go through all the parts.

What I learned: Do tests while programming is very important, not write over all codes then do tests as I did. Good coding habit is not very hard to form, but is very usefully and greatly benefit. It is the first time for me to switch coding from Windows to Linux, not as hard as I thought.

Project: Face Recognition in digiKam using embedded Hidden Markov Model (HMM)

Brief Description: The main aim of this project is to enable digiKam to recognize a person from his face in a photo. Face detection is already integrated in digiKam. Now I am working on the next step of recognition of the detected faces. This application is nowadays used in many of the photo management and web-based applications.

Goal: To develop and integrate face recognition application in libface with state-of-the-art recognition accuracy.

Result: Currently working on integrating the face recognition code with the existing libface code to support digiKam.

Best thing about SoK: Getting to contribute to work on code that simplifies and improves the lives of thousands of people everyday :) The support provided by mentors at every stage of the project is awesome :) I would like to keep contributing to KDE even after the completion of the SoK program.

What did you learn: Testing at every stage of coding is very important. I have understood the libface code in detail and now it is easier to integrate additional features and resolve bugs quicker.

Rajat Khanduja

Project: Kate: Improving the Modeline feature by providing a 'Modeline Editor'

A brief description : Kate has an amazing feature of 'Modelines', which allows anyone to change various attributes of text in a file (such as color, font, tab-width, etc) without going through the cumbersome menus and options. A single line at the beginning or the end of the file can be used to modify the features throughout the file. This is a useful feature, except that those who are not aware of the various keywords involved, can end up not using it or not using this to its full potential. So, my aim was the provide a GUI to the same feature that would act as a guide for the beginners and let them know about the various attributes that can be modified using 'modelines'.

The best thing about SoK :
For quite some time I had wanted to contribute to FOSS but didn't know where to begin. SoK offered me an opportunity to contribute with a mentor (Dominik Haumann) to guide me. Also, I learnt a lot about coding standards and why it is important to follow them. I have a feeling, this would have a huge impact on my future pieces of code.

One thing I learned :
It was a great learning experience and it is hard to specify a particular thing that I learned, so I would like to mention a few. In the early days of work, through a huge mistake, I learned the importance of revision control systems and Git. Although, like many other users I had read about them and knew the purpose, learning by mistake is the best method of learning (although expensive ;) ) . Also, as I mentioned earlier, I learned about coding standards. After following standards at Kate, I have realized the importance and would like to make sure that my code, in future, exhibits some standards.

Project: Reimplementation of an Akonadi RSS Resource for OPML files (link to the repo: [5]).

The final aim of this project is integrating Akregator and Akonadi. In 2008-09 Frank Osterfeld (my mentor) and Dmitry Ivanov (GSoC 2008 student) had created, but not completed a RSS framework for Akonadi. That project got difficult to handle because of some architectural choices (for instance, shared code among resources, tags instead of folders) and a full Akregator port to that framework has never been realized. My long-term project consists of recreating from scratch lighter RSS resources as opposed to the old generic framework. The first and simplest of those resources is the one that uses opml files as backend and whose realization is the goal of my SoK.

Goal: Integration between Akregator and Akonadi.

Status (just for the opml rss resource):

  • Read/Write to .opml file. DONE
  • Synchronization of collections. DONE
  • Synchronization of items. IN PROGRESS
  • Import/Export to .opml. TODO
  • Porting of Akregator to the new resource. ?

A _Brief_ Description Telepathy is used currently as a back end for diffusing the protocol differences in Instant Messaging. The Contact List, currently comes as a typical list. My work is to change that list into an interactive globe. The contacts will be pasted on their appropriate locations. So, next time when you want to talk to your friend in Zimbabwe, just turn the globe, zoom in a bit and click on his name which is showing him online in Zimbabwe.

Goal To get an interactive contact list for Telepathy and its applications.

Status: Completed pasting contacts on the map. Now, making it more interactive.i.e. click to chat.

IRC nick: Dunce

Result: Haven't comlpeted yet. On the third stage.

Best thing about SoK is, your mentor! mine is very supportive and patient. You get to learn loads. and since SoK is a shade more informal, i like it.

What did you learn I am a beginner in programming and so i learnt a lot in terms of collaborative coding, different platforms. I learnt Qt, marble API and the Telepathy Architecture ( though haven't fully understood the Telepathy architecture yet :P )

Link (Project Details):

http://community.kde.org/GSoC/2011/Ideas#Project:_KStars:_Make_KStars_more_usable_to_the_scientifically-inclined_user

Project ( Brief Description) :

KStars is currently good for education and for the hobby sky-observer. For those interested in more scientific aspects of astronomy, KStars does not have features to offer, but definitely does have the right existing framework to support these.

Goal :

So the aim of the project was to fix the magnitudes that the comets were displaying. I fixed that after discovering that the formulae being used was all wrong. The AAVSO Light Curve Generator tool is not working and this project intended to fix that as well. But unfortunately due to a totally unresponsive website that has not been possible.Also recently discovered supernovae would be integrated into KStars and the user would be alerted of newly discovered supernovae. This can be extended to comets and asteroids as well.
