Hello Drupal Community,
I and my mentor Jeff Linwood ( https://www.drupal.org/u/jefflinwood ) we are very glad to inform you that GSoC 2014 project - an example iOS application for Drupal 8 has been completed.

As per the requirement we have demonstrated CRUD operation for content entity , login - logout , fetching data from REST export ( for view). Due to file related bug in REST module () we are unable to demonstrate CRUD on file resources. We have used AFNetworking and we have also created same project with NSURLSession API.

GSoC 2014 is ending and it is time to start planning for GSoC 2015. What have we learned in 2014 that we can improve on in 2015? It is never too early to start planning, so please, feel to free to add any thoughts/ideas/feedback here. Even if you're interested in being a mentor or student next summer, feel free to join this group and ping us here.

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 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.

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.

Our awesome community recently became a bit more awesome. Drupal was accepted into Google's Summer of Code 2014! Student applications started March 10th and are open until March 21st. It's not too late to become a student, mentor, or submit a project idea. Not available to join the GSoC fun...maybe you can send an email to your alumni university mailing list?

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.
