<h2>About GNU social</h2>
|
|
<p>GNU social is the eldest free social networking platform for public and private communications used in <a
|
|
href="https://blog.diogo.site/posts/what-is-the-fediverse">federated social networks</a>. It's
|
|
versatile, extensible and privacy focused. We've been modernizing the existing codebase, ensuring
|
|
inter-operationality as defined by the IndieWeb and we're developing a modern frontend. This makes GNU
|
|
social accessible: easy to install and use, and follows AnyBrowser and A11Y guidelines.</p>
|
|
<p>Our objective is to further differentiate GNU social from the alternative software available, either FOSS
|
|
or Proprietary/Centralized while setting an example of how a secure, performant and plug-and-play
|
|
software should be in modern day's web.</p>

|
<h2>About Summer of Code</h2>
|
|
<p>With respect to the time you will have to dedicate, GNU social's Summer of Code expects you to work an
|
|
average of 36.5h/week. You can organize that time as you please, but you must be sure to dedicate that
|
|
in your weekly work or to be overly productive.</p>
|
|
<p>We suggest you to do a four-day work week with 6h of work/day + 3h to document, review/test and report
|
|
the progress you've done (you usually won't need that much for this and we won't complain as long as
|
|
you're doing well/being highly productive). As breaks are important, we recommend a 1h lunch break,
|
|
15min break after 4h of continuous work and a further 15mins break after 6h of work. These breaks won't
|
|
be considered as part of your work time.</p>
|
|
<p>Note that 6h*4 = 24h, if you only do the 24h/week, you'll have to prove your worth. Otherwise, we might
|
|
require that you either do a 5-day week or that you scale it up to 7.5h in your 4-day week.</p>
|
|
<p>In general, you will always have to work at least 120h/month, ideally 146h/month (or the productively
|
|
equivalent). We do not accept that you transfer expected work time from a month to another. Nonetheless,
|
|
an under-performing week will make us request more hours from you in the week after (up to the limit of
|
|
40h).</p>
|
|
<p>Click <a href="2021/academics.html">here</a> to better understand how we distribute the load. Also note
|
|
that every summer of code ends with a final tech report, <a
|
|
href="http://www.gnusocial.rocks/soc/2020/tech_report/v3_fe/technical_report.pdf">here's an
|
|
example</a> of a frontend rework.</p>

|
<h2>How to apply?</h2>
|
|
<p>Close some <a href="https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social/issues">open issues</a>. For that, <a
|
|
href="study_resources.html">learn the necessary</a> to acquire a good <a
|
|
href="https://docs.gnusocial.rocks/">insight on the codebase</a>. That's how you will start to
|
|
provide major valuable contributions.</p>
|
|
<p>We require some merge requests as that is the only way we have of knowing that you've actually tried to
|
|
understand the codebase and have the minimal necessary programming autonomy for the summer of code.</p>
|
|
<p>After you've done some code contributions, there's the proposal. That's how we make your application
|
|
"official". Please contact us on <a
|
|
href="https://agile.gnusocial.rocks/doku.php?id=development_discussion">GS's Development
|
|
chat</a> to get started with it.</p>

<p>Understand that we need you to put some effort on the tentative timeline and relevant research. The point
|
|
being that if you are to work on a large component or in significant changes, you must show us that you

do understand and have gone through the planning work required to implement it properly.</p>

Plugin</a></h4>
|
|
<p>The tendency is that newer software will focus in the implementation of the ActivityPub Protocol (as it
|
|
is newer and considered to be simpler) instead of OStatus, given that, it is important for GNU social to
|
|
support it in order to stay updated and relevant in an even larger fediverse.</p>
