== Participants and Projects ==

Participants were given a list of small projects covering a range of skills including Python, web front-end and Android.

All participants were encouraged to collaborate through Github and share their work.

=== Vanilla Music (Android) ===

The task selected by this team involved choosing one of the music players in [[https://f-droid.org|F-Droid]] and try to improve support for FLAC playback.  They chose [[https://github.com/vanilla-music/vanilla|Vanilla Music]] and decided to try and fix some of the outstanding bugs, submitting a [[https://github.com/vanilla-music/vanilla/pull/655|pull request]]

=== Click to Dial on the desktop ===

The team chose a task that involves creating a Python script (see this [[https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=746707#73|MIME handler discussion in bug tracker]]) for the '''tel:''' URI scheme, to display a PyQt popup window, study the number with libphonenumber and suggest further actions like dialing or adding it to the address book.   '''tel:''' URIs can appear in web pages, the [[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/telify/|Telify plugin]] can create them from phone numbers on any web page, the GNOME Evolution address book and the Thunderbird address book (using [[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/tbdialout/|TBDialOut plugin]]) can both create them too.  Here is the [[https://github.com/egzonar/PhoneClient|project on Github]]

=== WebRTC with the Laraval framework for PHP ===

The team chose to [[https://github.com/opentelecoms-org/jscommunicator/blob/master/INTEGRATION.md|follow the integration guide for JSCommunicator]] and integrate it with [[https://laravel.com/|Laravel]].  Shejza Berisha published the code [[https://github.com/shejza/phonevideocall|on Github]]

=== WebRTC with WordPress: extending the WPCall Plugin ===

The team chose to [[https://github.com/opentelecoms-org/jscommunicator/blob/master/INTEGRATION.md|follow the integration guide for JSCommunicator]] and try to apply it to the [[http://wpcall.org|WPCall project]] started in GSoC 2016.  They [[https://github.com/codebreakers-6/js-commmunicator-plugin|published their work on Github]]

=== Scraping exchange rates from web sites ===

The team chose to work on a script to scrape exchange rates from public web sites.  They selected the Python [[https://scrapy.org/|Scrapy]] framework to help them and they stored the rates to MongoDB.  Their code is [[https://github.com/argetamorina/codergals|published on Github]]
