Student Application Template
To fill this in, copy the source text. Please don't rename the template.
This is a suggestion for the kind of information we'll find useful from students in their submissions. Remember -- you're going to be committing to several months' work. The more information and planning you can provide up-front, the more we (and Google!) will have to go on when we're ranking your application. Do not forget adding your submission at SummerOfCode2016/StudentApplications
Name: Shing Sheung Daniel Ip (Daniel Ip)
Contact/Email/IRC nick: ip4368overclocker@gmail.com IRC: ?DanielIp
Background: Familiar with AngularJS, has been doing angular in hackathon(only one in charge), know about Python (demonstrating a subject taught by Python in Uni) but not familiar with Flask.
Project name: Debsources on mobile
Project details: Debsources provides Web access to all of Debian source code. Debsources allows to browse, search, and render Debian source code, as well as compute code metrics and statistics that encompass all available source packages. This GSoC project aims at developing a mobile version of Debsources.
Synopsis: Build a mobile site for Debsources.
Benefits to Debian: developer can participate with source work easier
Deliverables: The mobile website being built up with Flask as JSON API.
Project schedule: Estimated as 2 months
Exams and other commitments: My exam will be at June, but totally free in July.
Other summer plans: I have no other plan.
Why Debian?: The main reason that I chose Debian rather than other Linux is because Debian support most CPU architecture, so whenever I need to work with a platform, I can still use what I have learnt.
My previous Debian contributions: Not much, did a bug report to Gnome but not Debian.
- Not applying any other SoC, because I can't find any other that suit that well and I am interested in. Not much project requiring Angular/frontend JS framework!
