25 April, 2008
The Google Summer of Code team have announced that the Squeak Project is one of 175 Free and Open Source projects that have been accepted into their programme for 2008.
This year’s submission was explicitly under the “Squeak Project” title, to allow for projects from the wider community developing based on the Squeak environment.
The current list of projects with assigned students consists of:
- Safarà: an Extensible Code Editor for Squeak by Luigi Panzeri, mentored by Lukas Renggli
- Squeak IRC bot framework by Francois Stephany, mentored by Ken Causey
- Squeak GTK Support by Gwenaël Casaccio, mentored by Stéphane Ducasse
- freeCAD: 3D CAD with Motion Simulation Port to Croquet by Phua Khai Fong, mentored by Aik-Siong Koh
- OpenNARS port to Squeak using Seaside by Cédrick Beler, mentored by Klaus D. Witzel
Congratulations to Giovanni Corriga and colleagues on the SoC mailing list who put the Squeak Project submission together, and best wishes to the students and mentors for a productive and enjoyable experience. We’re all looking forward to seeing your work!
