FOS Proposals
Express your love for Open Source!
This repository serves as an archive of Free and Open Source proposals. Since GSoC is the only such program where I participated myself, the dump is organized as such. If you have proposals from GSoC/KDE-Soc/any, feel free to send a PR.
Proposals
Proposed is euphemistic.
Love can often be one-sided.
Adding your proposal?
Opening a pull request with links to a Google Doc should suffice. In case you want to help more, read on.
All proposals need to be in Github flavored markdown format. If you have a Google Doc, conversion should be pretty straightforward using pandoc
git clone git@github.com:username/fos-proposals.git
git checkout -b username-year
cd GSoC-year
mkdir Organisation-YourName-Title
cd Organisation-yourname-title && mkdir media
All images should go to media, and be relatively linked in your markdown.
To port a doc/docx proposal:
cd Organisation-YourName-Title
pandoc -r docx infile.docx -w markdown_github -o Organisation-YourName-Title.md --extract-media=media
rm infile.docx
git add .
git commit -am “GSoC-Year: Proposal Title”
git push origin username-year
Alternatively, you can use gdocs2md
which in my experience so far gives superior output to pandoc.
Suggestions are always welcome.
