I haven’t blog for a long time since I had other things to do. I really wanted to participate in the Google Summer of code again, and I have actually been accepted in the Gstreamer community! The project I am going to work on is called “Permit pitivi users to add effects to the videos they are editing”. The main goal is to permit to add all kind of effect easily in Pitivi and implement the most important ones. ...
Just a short entry about my Gsoc project “Nautilus: add Google documents support”. So as I am now in summer vacation (studying in chile for one year), I found some time last week to carry on my work on my GVFS backend. It is still missing a few things and robustness, but it hopefully should be mergeable in this cycle. Actually the reading/writing isn’t fully functionnal so it’s not yet open to public test. ...
During those 12 weeks of my Google summer of code, I have hacked mainly on 2 gnome project which are gvfs and libgdata.

As far as gvfs is concerned, I have an alpha version of the gdocs backend which isn’t really usable for final users yet, but don’t worry I am going to make it working well in the coming weeks! All the functions are implemented, I need to stabilize it and optimize it in order to hopefully get it merged in gvfs. I have also worked a little bit on nautilus to support the new backend (almost nothing). some screenshots: ...
This is my first post on a blog, I decided to write now about my Gsoc project, “Nautilus: add support to Google documents” because it’s almost the end of this project and because I decided that I want to carry on this work. As you may have heard about, this project consist in adding the possibility to nautilus users to use their Google documents as if they were local documents so it mean that they should be able to use it with any office application suite such as Open-office, Goffice… This will permit users to always have their documents synchronized on the web and to be able to access it on-line (throw the Google website) all the time even if they can manage it very easily from their computer and use it with their favorite software. To complete this project I had to work on three different gnome project which are: ...
