SoC: Officially applied!
by Gail Banaszkiewicz 26 Mar '07

Ok, I've done it - I've officially applied through Google to SoC. My application pretty much just points to this web page so that I can update it as comments come in: http://www.scs.carleton.ca/~gbanaszk/code/soc07/index.htm If you read through the proposal PDF, you will see that I've tried to leave things fairly flexible. Hopefully this will be a key to success ;) Feel free to comment, good or bad! Gail

Bulia, which filter effects do you think we should focus on next? -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Nicholas Bishop <nicholasbishop@...400...> To: MenTaLguY <mental@...3...> Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] SoC proposal: ImageMagick effects in Inkscape Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2007 01:37:44 -0400 I've had a look through the filter effects, and I agree it would be more worthwhile for me to work on implementing them. Do you have any recommendation as to how many new filter effects I should tackle? I don't really know enough about the system yet to estimate how long each is likely to take.

3D tools proposal for Inkscape (GSoC)
by The Pete 25 Mar '07

25 Mar '07

Hello, I was toying with some ideas for the 3D capabilities of Inkscape that will soon be developed. These ideas may have been floating around already, and I saw what the character Maximilian Albert proposed with the multiple Vanishing Points in his document for cubes in 3 space, and I figured it could be useful to apply to any style of primitive (such as cylinders, cones, etc...). Though, of course, with something such as a sphere, it would be rather awkward and pointeless, unless you consider an ellipsoid. Which could lead into the idea of incorporating the VPs and 3D ability with the use of Bezier curves, possibly making a sort of moldable surface applicable to cubes, cylinders, and other such primitives. Another possibility being toyed with is the extension of freehand drawings - drawing any shape (closed or not, and including the calligraphy tool), and giving it depth, to which vanishing points can be applied to. I'm not sure if these set of ideas would be considered over the top, or not in the direction the 3D project is aiming for. Of course, feedback and/or laughing is always encouraged. Thanks! -- -Peter

GSoC Student applicaiton deadline
by Aaron Spike 25 Mar '07

25 Mar '07

Students, If you've been discussing proposals on this list and have not yet submitted your application directly to Google, do so. The application deadline is quickly approaching. http://code.google.com/soc/ If you're like me you may find it difficult to find the url for submitting applications. If somebody knows the url and could reply to this message with it that would be most helpful. Aaron Spike

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Fix for [ 1679367 ] no icon to justify text in dialog

Hey Richard! I suppose the biggest question at this point, while I put together my proposal, is what items you have been wanting to fix, improve, or add to the text code but haven't had time to do. I'd love to get an intro to the text tool, but it may have to wait until after I (hopefully) get accepted, because as useful as it would be, applications to SoC are due tomorrow, so time is important. :) That said, I'm "wing-tip" on IRC, and should be there for a good chunk of the day today. If you're around, I'd love to chat! Cheers, Gail Richard Hughes wrote: > Hi Gail.
