Before wrapping things up

This will probably be my last blog post within the period of GSoC. I have come a long way from the being selected, then clearing the mid-term evaluation, now to the end of GSoC. The journey was quite great. I get to learn Genie(programming language), got a little glimpse of XMPP and lastly some flavour of Gtk(which is actually GIMP Toolkit not Graphical Toolkit what I used to think).

I would not have reached this far without the help of the mentors, specially anthuswilliams and Arc. Despite the difference in time zone, I didn't face much difficulty contacting them, though they are mostly available in IRC. I would like to thank them for their help and support and also giving me the opportunity to work as a GSoC student. Lastly, I would like to thank Google for organizing such an event where many students can participate and get exposed to real-life software development.

Thank you everyone for giving me such an exiting and sleepless summer( I used to code at night. :-P)

Gnomesoy Preview

My proposed design of the gnomesoy is complete. Some of the functionalities are already implemented but not all of them are there. UI design is fully done though. Current implementation is written as a demo to work without making connections. The code to make it work by making the connections is there but currently commented and should be enabled after testing. 
Given below a video showing the gnomesoy in action.
