OpenInkpot in GSoC 2010

dottedmag · 03-19-2010, 05:40 AM

OpenInkpot project has been accepted into Google Summer of Code 2010!

If you are student and want to hack on OpenInkpot this summer (e.g. by porting it to new e-book device), then write an application and submit it. You've got only 10 days to do it.

If your application is accepted, you will be sponsored by Google ($5K stipend) and will get a mentor from OpenInkpot developers who will guide you through the process (though good student is expected to work semi-autonomously, using project's mailing list and IRC for communication).

Have a look at our ideas page (which are just starting points).

You can apply at GSoC homepage. See also program FAQ and timeline.

Dottedmag - I'm wondering whether there are any plans to implement the current FBReader (0.12 +) in OI?

Thanks...

Code:

fbreader (0.12.1-1) zelazny; urgency=low

  [ Alexander Kerner ]
  * New upstream release

 -- Mikhail Gusarov <dottedmag@dottedmag.net>  Tue, 19 Jan 2010 07:38:59 +0600

Alexander will probably merge newer 0.12.* soon, if there any changes needed for OpenInkpot (IIRC those are just bugfixes for breakage on various platforms).

Thank you very much. Dottedmag. I looked in the open tickets and had not found it. Once again, thanks to all the people working on OI, you have my warmest regards.
