gsoc 2014

Google Summer of Code 2014 has triumphantly concluded for Drupal as a participating organization. We selected thirteen students (https://groups.drupal.org/node/423558) out of fifty project proposals from around the world and twelve of the projects passed with success. Help us by reviewing each project's code (https://groups.drupal.org/node/442493).

Google Summer of Code 2014 is over and we are planning to write a summary of the entire Summer of Code experience. We want to all the students/mentors to write a one-line summary of their experience/takeaways from the program. Eventually we can post collect and post all the user stories together (something like: http://google-opensource.blogspot.in/2014/01/google-summer-of-code-veter...). So, please comment below in one line describing your experience.

This post, when complete will also be posted on Google's open source blog.

Hi,
This post is to announce the successful completion of my GSoC project - Drupal 8 port of securesite module. You can download the module from https://drupal.org/project/securesite .

I have also made a screencast to help users set up and use the module - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO5OzXg_gqw

While all of the functionality of the module has been ported to drupal 8, there might still be some bugs in the module. You can report the bugs by filing a bug report in the issue queue of the project or contacting me directly through my drupal.org contact page.

Hello Everyone,
I posted a while ago about my GSOC'14 Project, fluxpocket - Pocket Integration for fluxkraft. I would like to bring it to the notice of everyone that the module is complete. Check out the project on drupal sandbox.

Hello Everyone,

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.

*Build an Elastic search module for Drupal
++ xan_ps from India ( https://drupal.org/user/2830251 )

*Build a schema.org mapping tool for Drupal 8
++ sachini from Sri Lanka ( https://drupal.org/user/2831117 )

*Create sensor instances for Monitoring D8

I'm making a last minute entry into Google Summer of Code, and I need two mentors to sign on! So, I'm putting my proposal out there, and if any mentors are interested, please (please (please!)) let me know. You can reach me chart058@newschool.edu. Thanks!

The proposal:

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.

Over the past few months we organized an initiative with Google Code-In students to learn, edit, and create ladders. During this time I truly learned the value of the ladder program and how quickly it can help new users learn Drupal with proper documentation. In fact, we plan for GCI students to work on the DrupalLadder every year which will greatly help the project grow in terms of content. Code-In is for high school students taking on basic tasks.
