Introductions
This page is a diary dedicated to the work I have been honored to do with LibreCAD this Google Summer of Code 2015 period.
COMMUNITY BONDING PERIOD
Community Bonding Week 1
- Celebrated my acceptance into Google Summer of Code 2015 with my friends at the Limbe Semme beach
- Getting to know other students in Buea selected for GSoC.
- Updated my repository on github.
Community Bonding Week 2
- Filled Student Foreign Certification Tax Form
- Discussed with my mentors the possibility of a wire transfer for work during the bonding period. No channels were open apart from Paypal.
- Updated my repository on github
Community Bonding Week 3
- Looked at the lc_splinepoints code in librecad/src/lib/engine/lc_splinepoints.*
- Worked feverishly and biased my efforts on my final year Management project ( meetings with supervisor, Writing Theoretical and Literature review, conceiving and administering questionnaires, etc ) which ate up the next fortnight.
- The intention was to go furthest as possible with Final year School Project so that when GSoC coding begins, I can concentrate more on my LibreCAD project.
Community Bonding Week 4
- Discovered a Paypal account at the end of the Community bonding period.
CODING PERIOD
Week One
Monday May 25th
- Had a meeting with Women Techmakers Arm of GDG Buea organizing upcoming Google I/0 Extended 2015 at my University.
- Reading Documentation on Conics Sections in LibreCAD given to me by my mentor Dongxu Li.
Week Two
Thursday June 4th
- Hurray! My Google Summer of Code finally package arrived my University today and I was called to come and collect it.
Friday June 5th
- Had a meeting with the Mentor for Google Developer Groups in Cameroon. He cautioned me on the importance of communication and daily coding on my project.
- Almost done with my Final year Research Project.Was working on corrections given by my supervisor the whole day.
Saturday June 6th
- Updated my github repository today.
Week 3
Monday June 8th
- Synced my github repository with LibreCAD's.
- Installed and ran LibreCAD from source.
- Studying RS_Ellipse::getTangentPoint() and LC_SplinePoints::getTangentPoint() to help create RS_Hyperbola::getTangentPoint().
Tuesday June 9th
- Hyperbolas are unbounded and disconnected too. Investigating how finding the tangential points of splines can help the case of hyperbolas.
- Read articles by www.qcad.org on splines. Each branch or arm of a hyperbola can be seen as an open quadratic spline.
