Planet SoC

Who would have thought that driving across Canada, moving into a new house in a totally unknown city, finding a social life, beginning a master’s project, applying for scholarships, taking a full-time course load, and trying to TA a course without knowing anything about the subject would occupy all of my time during the past month? Despite my last post to this blog where I proclaimed that I would continue to work on various programming projects after GSoC finished, I don’t think I’ve even signed in to IRC let alone looked at a piece of source code. Sigh.

GSoC has officially come to a close, and in a very short time I have managed to make a more or less working version of In The Mood in C. On the plus side, it does seem to be more efficient, using less memory, and it gets rid of any possible command-line-parsing errors. Also, I’ve re-done the vector file storage so that it’s in subfolders, so there’s guaranteed to be unique names (basically the complete path for each song is copied over into ./gnome/rhythmbox/inthemood), and I’ve left the .mp3 or .ogg extension to make them easier to locate in the database (might be a little confusing if you ever look at those files, but they are indeed text). On the down side, anyone who tried the python version, you’ll have to re-analyze your database, due to this reorganization of vector files. Sorry!

Matthew Garrett’s post on (gender) inclusiveness was brought to my attention this morning as something that may be of interest to me, as a female who is starting to get involved in GNOME and open source. This type of discussion seems to come up every once in a while, and has done so already on the GSoC students mailing list, so I’ve had a bit of time to straighten out my thoughts on the matter. The advice of “don’t be a dick” is hard to argue with, but I’m going to give it a shot, and since I’ve got girly bits, I even have some protection against attacks.

Well, I’ve finally got something that is more or less usable in its current form. I haven’t actually come up with a complete package that’ll be easy for other people to install, but I’m happy with how it’s working right now. Check it out (no sound, but you get the idea):
