Ninux.org Wireless Community

Anche Ninux quest’anno parteciperà al Google Summer of Code 2016!

Studenti dai 18 anni in su (purchè siano iscritti a qualche tipo di corso di livello universitario) interessati al mondo dell’Open Source e del software libero potranno lavorare per 3 mesi ad un progetto open source con la supervisione di un mentore e ricevere una borsa di 5500 USD.

Se siete studenti capaci, motivati, vi piace il mondo del software libero e quello delle community network potete trovare informazioni più dettagliate alle seguenti pagine:

• Google summer of code FAQs
• Google summer of code Event Timelines

Anche quest’anno partecipiamo attraverso Freifunk (come abbiamo fatto più volte in passato) insieme ad altre community network (ad esempio Wlan Slovenja).

Freifunk è stata accettata come mentoring organization pochi giorni fa, gli studenti hanno tempo per inviare le loro application fino al 25 Marzo.

I progetti a cui gli studenti possono partecipare sono scritti sulla pagina “GSOC Ideas” del wiki di Freifunk.

Alcuni di questi sono stati proposti da Ninux:

• Implementing Pop-Routing
• A web-based video streaming application for community networks
• Node building coordination web platform

Per maggiori informazioni potete scrivere sulla mailing list ninux-dev.

We have finally reached the ultimate goal of our project, we brought the news on our application, implementing a backend on a server and allowing forwarding news to all phones that have the application.

There are some known bugs, such as the failure or wrong management of the GPS, but we will work as quickly as possible to accommodate even this shortage. Now it’s time to send the final evaluation to Google!

It’s great being inside Ninux and thank you for the opportunity you gave me!

Here the final repository:

Bye!!

Yesterday we had the official notification to the accepted students for the Google Summer Of Code (GSoC) 2010. Ninux participated into the Freifunk umbrella organization for the year 2010. After the positive experience of the last year we actively participated into the program, having some of our members as mentor, and proposing project ideas.

We have three Ninux students accepted for GSoC projects:

• Claudio Pisa, working on the Web Radio Programme scheduler
• Marco Bonola, working on the IP/UDP Encapsulation Kernel Module
• Stefano Pilla, working on the Database Output for Freimap

We are going to keep this blog updated with news about GSoC, development progress and so on. Also the Ninux SVN repository will be the main source of development snapshots for people interested in following the progress of our code.

The date to begin coding is May 24th, but we are having our GSoC meetup for Freifunk students in Berlin during the Wireless Community Weekend 2010 where Ninux students will talk about their projects ! We just can’t wait to be there ! 😀
