Summer 2021 of Open Source Promotion Plan (OSPP) is jointly organized by Institute of Software Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISCAS) and openEuler community. OSPP Summer is very similar to Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and Outreachy.
OSPP opens to all projects with OSI-approved licenses, and worldwide students. When students finish their projects, both students and mentors will be paid. OSPP committee will process international wire transfers if needed.
Differences With GSoC
- OSPP is providing three different levels, with different awards. That might make it easier to find projects/students. If an idea is interesting but too easy for GSoC, it might be suitable for OSPP summer with medium/low difficulty.
- OSPP explicitly lists documentation work as possible tasks. This adds a few (but not many) opportunities for easy, yet useful projects.
Projects
Your own idea
Possible mentors: We'll provide you with the appropriate mentor
- If you have an idea, please post it on Wine Developers mailing list so we can help you with your idea. Showing initiative and willing to discuss your idea greatly improves your chances of getting accepted.
- As long as you work hard and interact with the community and your mentor in a positive and constructive way you don't have to worry about not meeting all your goals.
- Don't be afraid that you don't have a perfect idea - take advantage of the time before the proposal deadline.
Implement keyboard shortcut support for Datetime Picker Control
Possible mentors: We'll provide you with the appropriate mentor
The idea is to add support of all/some of the keyboard shortcuts mentioned in this MSDN page, so that we can select a day by the keyboard.
Wine bug 50511 will also benefit from this work.
Note: All All GSoC projects are considered as eligible projects for OSPP Summer.
Brain Storming
Please feel free to drop immature ideas here. It's okay if you post an idea here while you're not participating as a student/mentor. It may be the start of some high-quality discussion
