It’s hard to say goodbye to GSoC. So why do it?
This year I’m primary admin for darktable, with Jeremy Rosen backing me up. Darktable is the digital photography tool I’ve been wanting for too long and since two years it’s real. We are still a rather small project, so we probably won’t go beyond two students, but if you want fun, fun you will get
The list of project ideas is here, both darktable-devel@ mailing list and the IRC channel (#darktable at FreeNode) are preferred communication channels.
Darktable is pretty much modularized, so creating new stuff is rather easy. We’ve seen a number of contributors who come up with a complete new darkroom plug-in in practically no time. Most recently it was Rostyslav Pidgornyi with his “low light” plug-in that reuses our spiffy curve widget to provide simple UI for simulating human vision adapting to various lighting conditions.
If you like the idea of doing a GSoC project for us, you have nearly three weeks (till April 8th) to think about a project, introduce yourself, get accustomed, prepare an application, discuss it with your mentor and submit it.
