Apply to RGSoC? #8

Closed untitaker closed 7 years ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/5ohv6k/rgsoc_call_for_oss_projects/

I am considering applying the entire pimutils org (or rather, {khal, vdirsyncer, todoman}). @geier says he has no time at that point to be mentoring for khal, but I wonder whether it'd be possible for you @hobarrera? Particularly todoman seems like a good project to get started with because of the relatively clean codebase (and ease to set up, vdirsyncer not really necessary).

Vdirsyncer doesn't appear to be a very beginner-friendly project to me. Also I wouldn't know which open tasks to pick for RGSoC.

WhyNotHugo commented 7 years ago

I think all projects are beginner-friendly as far as community/friendlines goes, but yes, todoman probably has the simplest codebase (probably due to it's youth and the fact that it's a lot smaller).

You may have noticed I've been replying quite slowly these last months, since I'm settling some RL stuff, but since this is in a few months, I should be settled down, and would be glad to mentor someone into the community.

I can do mentoring for todoman as well, though in any case we need a list of major features that you envision.

A possible feature for todoman would be a reminder daemon that also watches the tasklists for new entries etc.

WhyNotHugo commented 7 years ago

Yup, a daemon (maybe a feature, maybe an external app that uses it) that runs a custom command sounds really useful. I wonder if khal could have the same thing for upcoming events.

There's also the daemon mode for vdirsyncer, but I guess that might be too complicated. :(

untitaker commented 7 years ago

Indeed an external program that handles VALARMS just like VTODOs would be nice. Some challenges:

geier commented 7 years ago

depending on their definition of fun, RFC 5546 support could be a nice challenge (though its probably too hard for total beginners)

untitaker commented 7 years ago

I think we need a few more possible projects such that teams have a choice.

The deadline is at the end of this month.

More possible projects (for khal) from the issue tracker

As said before, one of you be needed as a backup mentor, in case I am not available in summer.

untitaker commented 7 years ago

Thats totally fine by me, though I might hit you with many questions as I'm not that familiar with timezones and recurrence anymore.

untitaker commented 7 years ago

I've submitted vdirsyncer on its own. Given that @geier has no time I think it'd be better to just submit todoman for now. @hobarrera please fill out that one for yourself, and enter me as mentor if you don't have time (btw you need to sort-of guarantee that you will have time if you're a mentor, see http://railsgirlssummerofcode.org/guide/projects/)

WhyNotHugo commented 7 years ago

I intend to apply, but looks like sign in is currently broken, so I can't (same applied yesterday). 😞
