Still alive and some updates.

It was some time since my last post. GSoC ended and then I had to take care of my real life for a while. But now I’m trying to get back and help Amarok developers by solving some easy bugs and polishing a little bit the context view.
Today I come with some nice stuff I’ve [...]

GSoC weekly report – issue 11

Here I am again, this time from aKademy 2008 in Belgium. It is my first akademy and as an experience it was awesome. The best part was meeting the people behind the nicknames. The community is great and it’s huge. Over 300 people came to the event, what is overwhelming. I’ve learnt many things, talked [...]

GSoC weekly report – issue 10

I can’t believe how fast time has passed these last weeks. Today  I come with fresh snapshots of the new toolbox menu I’ve been developing the last week. It still has some bugs but I can already show it to the public:
The menu appears after clicking in the plus icon in the toolbox. If you [...]

This week I can finally deliver and show what has kept me busy a long time (more than desired, as always).

GSoC weekly report – issue 6

I come a little bit late since the last post because real life got in the middle.
This week we’ve got brand new zooming animations. Took me quite some time to figure out how to deal with Plasma animators but once you learn how to deal with it it’s quite simple. It was a little bit [...]

SoC weekly report – issue 5

Five weeks have passed and now is when I’ve just started to tame Plasma. Let’s start with the snapshots.

Now when an applet doesn’t fit in the current containment it’s sent to the next availiable one. I’ve also added a header on top of the containments with a label which will allow users to name the [...]

GSoC weekly report – issue 4

For those who never heard about me before I’m the SoC student working with Amarok’s Context View. This is already my 4th week report during GSoC but until now I was only sending it by e-mail to my mentor Leo Franchi. This week he had asked me to set up a blog and post about [...]
