Summer of Code 2008

I’ve ever resisted the temptation to open a blog, but the fact that I’ve been accepted for Google Summer Of Code 2008 is just too cool and deserves some blogging 🙂

A little but about myself: my name is Cosimo Cecchi, I am 22 and I live and study in Florence (third year in Computer Engineering). I’ve been doing some work across various GNOME modules in the last year (Epiphany and Nautilus mainly) and really had good time doing it and knowing some people from the community. So when I saw Calum’s post about media integration in the GNOME desktop, I thought that was a good job to work on for a Summer Of Code project so I applied for it, and guess what, I was accepted 🙂

I’ll blog about the details of my project later, now I’d like to thank some cool people for the support and the ideas they gave me and also I’d like to wish a good luck to everyone involved in GSoC this year!
