Google Summer of Code

Hello,

my name is Peter Hurtony, I am from Hungary, I study software engineering at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics.

Hi, my name is Alexia Mandeville, and I'm from Florida in the US. I currently attend the University of Central Florida and I'm in my senior year of Game Design, with a specialization in game programming.

I have worked with Joomla! and Wordpress, but I have never worked with Drupal up until now. Since being accepted with my mentor, I have been learning PHP and Git. I use PHP at my job, along with Git, so I'm becoming familiar with it.

I expect this to be a fun project, and should be helpful to the community since the IMCE module is widely used by people needing to upload photos.

Hi,

I am Lucian Hangea from Romania and I am a Computer Science undergraduate. My project for Google Summer of Code 2014 is 'Port Diff module to Drupal 8'.
Diff module: https://drupal.org/project/diff
I think this module doesn't need a lot of introduction since it is quite popular and its functionality is pretty straightforward: it provides the ability to make comparisons between entities and make the differences visually noticeable (more details here : https://groups.drupal.org/node/407793#project24).

Hello Drupal Community,

I am Karan Poddar, a Computer Science student from India. My project is: Create sensor instances for Monitoring D8 (Idea Page: https://groups.drupal.org/node/407793#project23).

Monitoring module (https://drupal.org/project/monitoring) provides sensors which can be used to monitor web applications. These sensors collect information which can be collected and used by standard monitoring products like Nagios. This module is already ported to D8.

Hello Drupal!

This is my first blog post after my proposal got accepted into Google Summer of Code 2014. I'll briefly explain the idea here, and in following posts I'll provide further details.

Good luck to all students that have officially started coding today. August will be here quickly...make sure to get started ASAP.

Everyone else in the Drupal community, it is time to say hello to a few new faces. Below is a list of our projects and students contributing to Drupal all summer via Google's Summer of Code 2014.

Reminder to all students AND mentors that GSoC 2014 student applications are due this Friday March 21st at 19:00-UTC. Moving forward all students need to be submitting applications directly into Melange for review. Students need practice submitting proposals into Melange to realize it can be a pain and understand Google will NOT accept ANY late proposals.
