Student Proposal

Project description

This proposal is matching Gabor Hojtsy’s idea: http://groups.drupal.org/node/138219 .

Who: Elayne Morais, I'm always available at GTalk. IRC nickname: emorais
I'm an Computer Science undergradraduate student at University of Campinas (Unicamp) in Brazil.

Have you contributed to a open source project before? No, I haven't. But I really want to start.

Why do you want to do a project involving Drupal? I never worked with Drupal. I'm finishing college and looking for something I can get engaged in. I think Drupal is a great choice, especially because its community is so welcoming.

Who?

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.

The basic idea has more than 2 years of history. In 2009 Larry Garfield wrote a blogpost about more flexible rights management. His concept has two important parts: we need a much more fine-grained permission system, and we need the ability to organize permissions into a hierarchical, unambiguous, logical system.

This was welcomed by the community, and an issue has been created. Thinking about the possibilities of implementation and changes took a few months. Plenty of suggestions came, but there weren't any actual progress in implementation before the release of Drupal 7. I would like to take the challenge. During Summer of Code, I would be implementing the ideas of Larry and the community. Then prepare the final code for integration into Drupal 8 core.

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...

Programming Contests Online Judge Module

Overview:

My Proposal is about building a Module that bring the functionality for an Online Judge For Programming Contests(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_judge), there exists a lot of open source platforms for that(http://code.google.com/hosting/search?q=label:onlinejudge), but anyone is build over a great community platform like drupal, that systems are used for a lot of students around the world for learning issues related to programming languages, algorithms and for improving your programming skills trought training and competing on programming contests, for that reason that communities need a great platform to interact.
