Google Summer of Code 2011

Who?

Hi, my name is Tiago Carmona. I'm a Computer Sciences student at Universidade de Campinas (A.K.A. Unicamp) at Brazil. I've started using Drupal 3 years before in an internship at Harvard University, but never got a chance to really help the Drupal community. Aside from working with computers and studding, I'm also a part of the Rotaract program, a Rotary sponsored organization that, among other things, focus on helping real communities in all the world. I hope that with the help of the GSoC program I can also start helping the Drupal community.

My username on drupal.org is nodestroy. A long while ago I contributed to buddylist till it was replaced with friendlist and other solutions like flag module. I'm a computer science bachelor student at Vienna University of Technology, Austria. I'm working with drupal since 2005.

Overview

Well, I tried to make it equal Melange proposal, but to a updated version, check the link in comments

Who:
My name is Felipe Eltermann and I study Computer Engineering at Unicamp (Brazil).
You can find me on e-mail "felipe.eltermann at gmail.com" and on IRC "eltermann".

I'm a free software enthusiast, first because of the freedom philosophy itself and also because I believe in the technological progress based on collaborative work.
I use GNU/Linux running KDE, Emacs for coding, Git as version control system and drush for developing Drupal.

So, here's an idea for anyone still not sure about what they could/should do this summer of code.

Media:YouTube is a module providing YouTube support for the Media family of modules.
It's nicely written and has some popular and needed functionality.
However, something is missing, and that something is upload support.

There are two ways to upload a file to YouTube:

Overview – Starbox which will combine lightbox, colorbox, shadowbox, greybox, etc - everything in one! (like WYSIWYG)

Description - In this project, I will develop an API module which will support all Lightbox style external libraries. As part of GSoC, I will start with Lightbox and take it as base module for developing this API module. Next, I will integrate colorbox also. This module will provide integration with the following D7 modules -

• Image
• Views
• Media
• Video (if time permits)

The API module will provide following features (depends on library) -

• Common admin UI for all libraries
• Turn on/off external lightbox type libraries by path or node type
• Paging
• Slideshow
• Zoom in/out
• Download original image
• Custom content in overlay description

This project is for Drupal 7.

Contributed to open source project?
I’ve built websites with Drupal for over 3 years, and have recently begun developing contrib projects for which I’ve created sandbox repos. This will be my first time working directly with others on a team for an open source project.

Overview:
Help move Aegir to a 2.0 release by working on the port of the Aegir frontend to Drupal 7, writing a DNS zonefile editor, and helping with other features and issues that need work before Aegir 2.0 can be released.

Description:

1. Background – Many Drupal developers have faced the problem of not being able to push to Drupal’s git repositories from behind a http proxy. This problem is particularly prevalent among University students (such as myself) as many universities have proxy servers. My proposal is to write a server-side CGI script that would allow developers to perform push operations to the Drupal git infrastructure over http.

The idea is to create a module that lets users share their social profile with the fellow members in the site.

To begin with, once the module is installed, the user should be able to configure the module. He should be able to connect his account with other social sites. Once connected he has his choice on deciding what is to be displayed publicly(to guests as well as other members of the site), privately(only to other members of the site).

There are a lot of social networking sites, Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, MySpace, Friendster etc. to name a few, along with other sharing, book marking and blogging sites like YouTube, Picasa, Flickr, (video and photo sharing) Delicious, Digg, Stumble Upon etc.(social book marking) , WordPress, Blogger etc. (blogging). In short, it will be too hard a person with a Facebook, Twitter, Delicious and Blogger account to update his status, tweet and blog simultaneously in any case. This is where this module comes to aid...
