GNOME intern Akshay Warrier made this to tease us mentors about the state of PRs reviews 😄

By the way, Akshay wrote a pretty cool blog post about their experience at GUADEC

#HaikuOS is again participating in #GSoC, one of the projects I'm especially interested in is bringing hardware virtualization support for #QEMU as I use QEMU pretty much to check builds for packages on either 32bit or 64bit images.

Reading @organicmaps ideas for #GSoC 2024 is super exciting: satellite image support (fixing issue 618?), track recording, GeoJSON support, waterways routing, alternative routes, public transport support... 🤩 🤩

Let's hope there will be many candidates to work on these!

I've read it here already, so chances are you did as well. It is true: I will make Papers – the soon-to-be default document viewer in GNOME – work on mobile, while improving the UI in general.

I'm granted a #gsoc stipend to work on Papers – together with my mentor @pabloyoyoista. We looked into some things today, already.

I'm excited to make Linux on Mobile a viable alternative for more people. But probably you knew that already, from my other involvements.

We have our first #GSoC contributions by @atbrat, a couple of #Workbench demos are already ported to #Vala and merged!! I am looking forward to more to come :D
Also thanks to @dimmednerd for helping with reviewing!

CVE Binary Tool 3.3 is released! (At long last!)

This is my work open source project that lets you scan for known vulnerabilities in your binaries, package lists and SBOMs. It's meant to make it easier (and cheaper!) to make secure open source software.

3.3 has new features from our Google Summer of Code 2023 contributors including EPSS metrics to help users assess risks associated with vulnerabilities, a new GitHub Action to make scanning easier, and a mirror of the NVD data backed by the same servers that do Linux distro mirroring so you don't have to deal with rate limits, downtime, and servers only located in the US.

Release notes: https://github.com/intel/cve-bin-tool/releases/tag/v3.3

And get the code on pypi:
https://pypi.org/project/cve-bin-tool/3.3/

Boosts appreciated!

GNOME will be mentoring 8 new contributors for Google Summer of Code 2024

We are happy to announce that GNOME was assigned eight slots for Google Summer of Code projects this year!

GSoC is a program focused on bringing new contributors into open source software development. A number of long term GNOME developers are former GSoC interns, making the program a very valuable entry point for new members in our project.

In 2024 we will mentoring the following projects:

Project Title Contributor Assigned Mentor(s)
Add TypeScript Support to Workbench Angelo Verlain Shema Sonny Piers
Port Workbench demos to Vala, build a new Workbench Library, and replace the current code search Bharat Tyagi Sonny Piers
Improve Tracker SPARQL developer experience by creating a “web IDE” for developing queries Demigod Carlos Garnacho
Papers’ small screen and touch support for mobile and tablet Markus Göllnitz Pablo Correa Gomez
More durable synching for FlatSync Mattia Formichetti Rasmus Thomsen
Port libipuz to Rust pranjal_ jrb
Improve Tracker SPARQL developer experience by creating “web IDE” for developing queries rachle08 Carlos Garnacho
Add support for the latest GIR attributes and gi-docgen formatting to Valadoc sudhanshuv1 Lorenz Wildberg

As part of the contributor’s acceptance into GSoC they are expected to actively participate in the Community Bonding period (May 1 – 26). The Community Bonding period is intended to help prepare contributors to start contributing at full speed starting May 27.

The new contributors will soon get their blogs added to Planet GNOME making it easy for the GNOME community to get to know them and the projects that they will be working on.

We would like to also thank our mentors for supporting GSoC and helping new contributors enter our project.

If you have any doubts, feel free to reply to this Discourse topic or message us privately at soc-admins@gnome.org
