Psi and Summer of Code (2006)
May 25, 2006, 1:19 pmThe second Summer of Code is upon us and it’s a good year for Jabber projects and for Psi in particular (this year’s projects are listed here: JSF SoC 2006 Projects). Of these 10 projects, 4 are aimed at directly at Psi, with a 5th hanging in the balance for the client to be used.
My own project is among those chosen (for which I’m obviously delighted). This project is to add plugin and (Python) scripting support to Psi, something which should be a great benefit to Psi users and also to people wishing to implement new protocol features, who will be able to build upon the Psi codebase to quickly prototype them in Python.
Anyone interested in tracking my progress should keep an eye on my previously mentioned project page on the JSF wiki (unless Peter Saint-Andre comes up with some other tracking system).
Just to prove I haven’t been idle, here’s a quick preview of the early plugins work (no, it’s not faked, these are real (although non-functional) plugins being found).
Oh, and my PhD/thesis? Things are finally looking up again after a stressful period of fear, uncertainty and doubt. I’m constantly amazed by the emotional effects being near the end of a PhD seems to have and I’m extremely grateful to have Cath around to help me stay sane.

I have a Psi plugin idea. I would like to be able to assign a ‘webcam url’ (e.g., http://someserver.com/user/current.jpg) for a contact and have their webcam come up next to their chat window.
Nice work! We talked about this some month’s back, and it’s interesting to finally see it coming together.
Gajim, heads up, Psi is armed to the teeth =P
She’s extremely grateful to have you around too
