Google Summer of Code 2012 Projects
Friday, April 27th, 2012We are glad to announce that this year, for the first time, ninux.org is an accepted organization in the Google Summer of Code program! Quoting from the GSoC 2012 website:
Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers students stipends to write code for open source projects. We have worked with the open source community to identify and fund exciting projects for the upcoming summer.
The wireless community networking, open source projects the students will be working on are:
- DNS Management App for wireless communities will allow community network members to manage easily their own DNS records
- Nodeshot database and server side code refactoring will continue our work on our successful mapserver engine
- Improve remote monitoring and managing of OpenWrt will develop a node monitoring and management system, integrated with nodeshot
- Mobile Application for managing the Ninux Network will be the wireless community network member swiss armyknife
- Mobile application to do AR aided wireless device pointing suitable for Wireless Community Networks will be a great tool to help people build wireless nodes on their roofs using augmented reality
Many thanks to Freifunk, that in the previous GSoCs has hosted our ideas, letting us experience and grow to this point. We are looking forward to the completion of this awesome projects, and we hope to be able to pass on to the students our passion and enthusiasm for community networking!
