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

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

  • 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.
