Project Name: [digiKam] Rewrite database KIO-slaves as pure Qt5 with multithreading

A Brief Description: Originally, KIO-Slaves was implemented to run database queries in a separate process to prevent problems with SQlite. Since SQlite support queries from separate threads, KIO-slaves can be dropped, and a new API can be implemented using pure Qt threads API. This will improve digiKam portability, and permit adjusting CPU cores assigned to database processes efficiently.

David Kolozsvari

Project Name: Improve Marble's OSM vector rendering and printing support

A Brief Description: Marble has a great rendering engine, which is fast (Marble starts up in 2-5 seconds), reliable and allows developers to easily improve some of its features. This projects main goals are to improve the following parts of the program: the rendering of the .osm file based vector tiles, the picking of the texture tiles, improving printing support. I also intend to fix any bugs that I may encounter in the process. This would improve Marble's rendering and maturity too, so the end-user should be more satisfied with the application.

Status:

  • Completed:
    • OSM vector tile rendering:
      • Completed the outlines of the streets and highways.
      • Completed "fake3D" decoration for buildings.
      • Tweaked the color styles to match better the openstreetmap mapnik theme.
      • Proper coloring and placement of street labels implemented.
  • Currently working on:
    • Improving printing support, making marble's rendering resolution independent:
      • Experimenting with marble on android to see how it behaves on different devices with different DPI resolution.

This is awesome about GSoC: There is a lot of things that I enjoy about GSoC, but probably the best thing is the nonstop interaction with the mentors and the students. Besides that, being a GSoC student is a great way to learn new stuff, not only regarding to programming, but to everything that comes in the way while coding or chating with others.

This is what I learned during GSoC:

Aroonav Mishra

Project Name: Porting of Amarok to Qt5/KF5

A Brief Description: Currently, kdelibs is distributed as a single set of interconnected libraries which makes it bulky. Under the KDE Frameworks 5 efforts, these libraries are being remodelled into a set of independent modules enabling the developers to use only the specific parts which they need and avoid pulling unwanted dependencies. Amarok currently uses Qt 4, kdelibs and Plasma 4. This project aims to port amarok to Qt 5 while using KDE Frameworks 5 enabling amarok to derive their benefits.

Status: Most work in porting the cmake files has been done. I am now porting amarok with the aim to compile it using KF5::KDELib4Support which will take some time.

Rahul Chowdhury

Project Name: Make an Editor Library/Plugin for KVTML Files

A Brief Description: The goal of the project is to separate the built-in editor in Parley into a library and/or plugin and make it available for other applications. This editor library should be made flexible and configurable so that applications with different needs could create an editor which supports the level of sophistication that suits that application best.

Status: Migrating of the editor models from Parley to LibKEduVocDocument is done and put up in reviewboard. Set up LibKEduVocDocument and Parley with Qt 5.5.0 and the editor works fine with the models from the library. Next thing to do is move the view classes to the library and implement them in Parley.

Gábor Péterffy

Project Name: Porting Marble to Android platform - Step I. - Marble Maps

A Brief Description: Nowdays more and more Android devices are being used worldwide as personal devices and in education too. So I am going to port Marble to Android with Qt for Android. This basically means to rewrite the UI and design it for mobile platforms, refactoring the original sourcecode if needed and creating some Android specific codes.

We decided to create two applications instead of one for Android: Marble Maps and Marble Globe. With this approach we can create a way more better tools. In the summer I work on Marble Maps. The goal is to get a nice Open Street Map based map and navigation app.

Status: Working on the routing

This is awesome about GSoC: I think GSoC is awesome because it gives you the possibility to join a community such KDE without worrying for expenses. Kudos to all the KDE community for being a great one. I've been here for some years now, and it's getting better and better.

This is what I learned during GSoC: I'm more and more learning about software architecturing and methodologies more than just programming, since of the nature of my project. I'm also learning to manage incoming contributions rather than just outgoing ones, since I'm working very close with a teammate (Francesco Wofford) and his strictly related project, doing mentoring and guidace for him.

Francesco Wofford

Project Name: ocs-client

A Brief Description: ocs-client is a client for the ocs-server project from Claudio Desideri. In a few words the webclient that now goes with the name of “PlasmaStore” aims to replace kde-look. In my GSoC proposal I had written about providing also a desktop client but discussing with my mentor and the community we found out that slight modifications to muon discover may suffice.

Status: I think that I can say that I'm at a good point with the webclient, it now implements content retrieval, edit and comment. Currently I'm working on the friendship system and on content rating. As for the muon part I had serious incompatibility and instability problems with my pc that we weren't able to solve but during akademy with the help of Claudio and his laptop we were able to use the kns backend to retrieve and install new content.
