I have a blag!

For the second year in a row, I’ll be part of the Google Summer Of  Code ! That’s right, this year I’ll be working with GNOME on Converting Nibble to Clutter! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my applications this year. I applied to two organisation, GNOME and Pidgin. My application for Pidgin was to replace GtkIMHtml with a WebKit widget and use it everywhere in Pidgin (chatview, debug window, etc). It was with surprise that last week I received an e-mail telling me that both my proposals were accepted and that I needed to choose which one I wanted to complete.

I really liked my Pidgin’s proposal and I was trilled to complete it this summer, however it was the second proposal I wrote so obviously my second choice. I had to turn it down but I’m happy to see that someone else will take my place and do this work this summer.

So I’ll be working with the GNOME Community, wow, unbelievable. I’m really trilled about this. I’m really glad my ideas to improve Nibble were well received and I can’t wait to start hacking on it. I feel my time spent coding my little Pong game will be useful in the next few months!

I’ll share my applications and ideas with the whole GNOME community later this week when the end of semester craziness slack off a bit
