Guifi.net Studio

En proceso de desarrollo...

El formato de ficheros CNML guarda información sobre los nodos de la red guifi, como sus coordenadas, su hardware o enlaces con otros nodos. A día de hoy no contamos con una aplicación de escritorio que permita extraer, consultar y visualizar estos datos. El objetivo es desarrollar dicha aplicación, que permitiría consultar la topografía de la red de Guifi.net sin tener conexión a internet.

Podría ser también un primer paso para desarrollar un cliente que permitiera a los usuarios modificar datos de sus nodos mediante una API de Guifi.net sin tener que pasar por la web.

About you

I'm currently studying Computers Engineering in the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). I'm a geek and free software supporter who has been dealing with Linux since I was 13 (now I'm 23). I enjoy working in projects with social benefits. My favorite programming languages are Python and C.

Participating in GSoC is one of the things I wanted to do during my academic life. It's very exciting and Guifi.net is a big community which I like and needs more developers. Last year I tried to participate in the Mediawiki project but it was a very hasty decision and finally I didn't.

Participation

• I will reach my mentor mostly by email to discuss all important things about the development. In emergency cases I would also phone him/her :D.
• People will be able to consult my code as I will set up a Git repository where I will commit.
• I will write a blog post about my progresses once a week.
• I will also idle in #guifi IRC channel to get in touch with the community.
• I will be listening for comments and suggestions.

Past open source experience

I'm a GNOME developer and member of the GNOME Foundation, which is the biggest project I have contributed. I have experience working with other open source projects. You can see my contributions to open source projects at my ohloh account.

I try to fix every annoying bug I find in software daily.

I like attending to free software events. I have attended to DebConf9 and Fosdem 2010 among others.
