Google Summer of Code 2010

Finally this year’s Google Summer of Code 2010 students are announced. Glad to announce, I am one of them

This is my third year of participation with Google Summer of Code programs. It was fun working with different project and mentors along the recent years. This year’s selection procedures gave me a lot of input and support while talking to some of new mentors from different organisations Gentoo and Meego. I am with the Pardus due to my Pardus love. I enjoy it. But I missed other projects since I can work only on one project. I am thinking of working on the project I had proposed (not in gsoc context.) for fun.

This time I will be developing Live OS installer for Pardus. Also I will be developing Live CD creator from a Pardus installation. Optionally I have some more ideas out of gsoc context with Pardus, being a pardus developer. I will be writing a pisi-offline tool which is similar to Apt-On-CD on Ubuntu. But the one I am developing will be much better than Apt-On-CD which works based on package cache. But pisi-offline will not rely on cache. But the real installed applications.

My assigned mentor for the project is Mete Alpaslan, who is the author of Yali4 installer for Pardus

Progress with Pardusman

Hey all.

I have been getting extremely lazy to blog enough these days. I have came across lots of new updates with pardusman project. The first improvement is with the UI graphic design. After building the UI layout I was staying tuned for comments and suggestions for improvement. Hiran came to me and told that he is interested to help me regarding UI. HIran is a UI guy on inkscape, Gimp, fonts etc.

We had a 1 hour IRC meeting that evening and discussed the UI plan. I got the UI for the first page in a couple of hours and I loved it. I found it awesome. I also grabed rest of the pages from Hiran of Human Factor Interface team. Have a look at the new designs.
