Accepted for a summer job

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Yesterday, after a lot of expectation I got great news: my proposal for Debian’s SoC was accepted!
This is great news for me, because it means I’ll get the chance to contribute to another project I also like and owe a lot: Debian :-)

For the curious, my proposal is finishing and enhancing the web UI for the Debian Bug Tracking System (BTS for short). Which is a great system but lacks some features that as a GNOME developer have learned to love and, from my humble point of view, think that Debian would benefit from. If you have ever used Debian’s BTS after getting used to GNOME’s Bugzilla, you know what I mean.

Regarding this great news, I’m also happy and confident to say that I’ll be able to keep up with GNOME and Debian work without a hitch. Lots of engineering went through my head to ensure I’ll be able to give my best in what I’m currently doing.

Also, my dear friends Marco Villegas and Manuel Cerón (of LunarEclipse fame) got selected for Drupal and Mono respectively.
Marco will be creating the infrastructure needed for Drupal.org to go the git way and Manuel will be doing some MonoDevelop crack (actually a visual class designer).

It was a great day!

PD: Hello Planet DebianSoC! perhaps you want to read a short intro of myself in this old post.
