Hopefully it is not rubbish!

Woo

What? This week is the final week….

Randomly my work ethic has gone through the roof, and I’ve done a feature a day this week.

Roll on the rest of the week…..

So Google Summer of Code.

Its been fun, I can’t believe it is the end.
I should have really written more code, but my plan involves being involved on my project for quite a while yet.
But then it is a from scratch project, and had to rewrite the core three times.

Luckily it is now flexible enough to work properly.

I am doing the new PHP bugtracker, it currently has basic functionality, and it maybe ‘pens down’ on Monday, me I am gonna keep going and committing, as this bug tracker needs finishing.

Alas I have lost tonight to having to fill in for a friend at work, but then tomorrow its all code, assumed my 360 doesnt distract me, we shall see.

Hopefully by this time tomorrow, we shall have a lot more done, which was the plan today, but some house things got in the way and now its on to nearly time to go to work, (its work in a bar hence UK evening time).

Just been reading http://planet-soc.com/node/3373

Pens up? Congrats for you :-)

Me no where near, but the project extends further than GSoC, most people I imagine just do the project over the summer and then forget about it I imagine.

But you forget, the point of GSoC is to get you involved with Open Source projects, as well as keeping your coding eye in.
IE, projects don’t have to finish when GSoC does.

So to me GSoC just meant I had money over the summer without having to do a crappy job, and I also became part of the PHP team, in a way, yes at the moment only on my project, but it leads the way to become involved in other ways, how this turns out for me I don’t know.

GSoC has been fun and interesting, just to see nearly 1000 people on a single IRC channel alone was great fun so many people waiting for deadlines.

I look forward to GSoC next year, the question is will it be same/similar project or a different one, only time will tell

For I have sinned.

Er more precisely haven’t updated my blog in a looooong time.

So, development is coming along albeit a little slower, such is the fun of having a shed load of side projects on the go, most fo them are now outta the way, so it is GSoC all the way, except for the very big side project over there (points).

But most of the stuff I write for GSoC is gonn get copied into that :-)

Hurrah!

Anyway back to devin…..

I myself am on the PHP project, and having been involved with phpBB since before I can remember (thats a lie), I jumped at the chance to go to LondonVasion, the first ever phpBB conference, phpBB being open source forum software.

And I have just been accepted as a contributor for LondonVasion’s website.

WOO!

I like feedback, I like midterm,

Now I need to get back to coding, in the groove today….

Um I haven’t done any revision yet…..

But I have written a load of code, you can test it at:

Please Do, and give me feedback :-)

I won an award, for some PHP software I wrote, completely unrelated to GSoC owever.

Here are the details (news wise)
