Posted by Catherine Carr for Alexia Mandeville:

Hi, my name is Alexia Mandeville, and I'm from Florida in the US. I currently attend the University of Central Florida and I'm in my senior year. My project was to re-platform the IMCE module to D8
( https://groups.drupal.org/node/424333)

The IMCE module (https://www.drupal.org/project/imce). is an image/file uploader and browser that supports personal directories and quota. It is currently available for D7 but not for D8.

Drupal's Google Summer of Code program is now considered an official "Organization" on Drupal.org thanks to a discussion @ https://www.drupal.org/node/2329051 and our organization can be found @ https://www.drupal.org/node/2332527 . Our GSoC project contributions need to be proudly listed, but how should we go about this? Any ideas on how to organize all this awesome information at our new organization node?

Our GSoC/GCI BoF at Drupalcon Amsterdam is on the schedule for Wednesday October 1st 2014 at 10:45-11:45 in room:G111 "Adyax".

Google Summer of Code 2014 is over and we are planning to write a summary of the entire Summer of Code experience. We want to all the students/mentors to write a one-line summary of their experience/takeaways from the program. Eventually we can post collect and post all the user stories together (something like: http://google-opensource.blogspot.in/2014/01/google-summer-of-code-veter...). So, please comment below in one line describing your experience.

This post, when complete will also be posted on Google's open source blog.

Wow...what a summer. Google Summer of Code 2014 ended Monday. This is a final reminder for students and mentors to finish final evaluations in Melange ASAP. Only a few projects remain to be evaluated.

Thank you to all mentors who volunteered their time collaborating with the next generation of Drupal rock stars. More info will be posted soon summarizing positive/negative aspects of the summer and highlighting the phenomenal work completed for our community by students. We hope to see mentors return for GSoC 2015 and that you might bring a few friends to help too :)

Hi,

as I wrote earlier, I worked on the FAQ modules in this summer. For the midterm evaluation I ported the FAQ module to Drupal8, but the show must go on, I had more plans for this project.

My problems was with this module, that you simply can not keep organized many question-answer. So I figured out a new structure of taxonomy terms, related on great FAQ pages I found on the internet. I started to work on my new module, called 'FAQ pages'. With this, we can create individually pages, with editabale path and a custom structure of taxonomy terms.

Hi,
This is Prateek and the post is to announce the successful creation of a basic Elasticsearch module for Drupal 8 as part of my GSoC '14 project. I've also uploaded a video tutorial on setting up this module. It's still under development and will be enriched and updated with time along with the addition of more features.

Currently, one may install the 8.x-1.x branch and use it for indexing and searching through Search API backend. Please report any issues you may come across.

Hi everyone,

GSoC 2014 has finally come to an end. The last three months has been awesome working with miro and berdir (my mentors). My project was to improve Monitoring module (https://drupal.org/project/monitoring) for D8 and also enhance its user and developer experience by converting its custom hook architecture to a standard config entity with plugin pattern so that sensors can be created and configured in the UI. More details on this is mentioned here: https://groups.drupal.org/node/423938

Hello everyone,

This is to announce the first release of my Google Summer of Code 2014 Project. You can download the module from https://www.drupal.org/project/rdfui
A screencast, covering all the features of the modules, is also available.

Hi,
This post is to announce the successful completion of my GSoC project - Drupal 8 port of securesite module. You can download the module from https://drupal.org/project/securesite .

I have also made a screencast to help users set up and use the module - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO5OzXg_gqw

While all of the functionality of the module has been ported to drupal 8, there might still be some bugs in the module. You can report the bugs by filing a bug report in the issue queue of the project or contacting me directly through my drupal.org contact page.

Hello Drupal Community,
I and my mentor Jeff Linwood ( https://www.drupal.org/u/jefflinwood ) we are very glad to inform you that GSoC 2014 project - an example iOS application for Drupal 8 has been completed.

As per the requirement we have demonstrated CRUD operation for content entity , login - logout , fetching data from REST export ( for view). Due to file related bug in REST module () we are unable to demonstrate CRUD on file resources. We have used AFNetworking and we have also created same project with NSURLSession API.

This is a friendly reminder that Monday, 11 August is our soft "pencils down" date. We suggest that students have completed their projects by this date and spend a week writing documentation and wrapping up their projects. We require that students stop all coding on 18 August.

Monday, 18 August at 19:00 UTC is when final evaluations open. Please consider this your reminder to submit your final evaluation by 22 August at 19:00 UTC so that you don't delay your students' final payments or possibly jeopardize your organization's attendance at the reunion.

Each year Google organizes a "Mentor Summit" after Summer of Code to help summarize the positive and negative experiences in an unconference style weekend of meetings. It is an awesome event and Drupal has participated several times.

GSoC 2014 is ending and it is time to start planning for GSoC 2015. What have we learned in 2014 that we can improve on in 2015? It is never too early to start planning, so please, feel to free to add any thoughts/ideas/feedback here. Even if you're interested in being a mentor or student next summer, feel free to join this group and ping us here.

Hello Everyone,
I posted a while ago about my GSOC'14 Project, fluxpocket - Pocket Integration for fluxkraft. I would like to bring it to the notice of everyone that the module is complete. Check out the project on drupal sandbox.

Hello again!

This is continuation to my previous post https://groups.drupal.org/node/423968 about Google Summer of Code project: Diff for Drupal 8.
We've done great progress on the diff module for Drupal 8. You can find the source code of the project at the following links: https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/lhangea/2269693 or https://github.com/lhangea/Diff/tree/master at master branch.

Hello everyone,

Midterm evaluations for GSoC are over and I've released a short demo for the entity embed module: Introducing Entity Embed module for Drupal 8. This screencast explains the basic idea behind the module and its usage.

Hello again,

I am writing this blog post in order to announce that D8 XmlSitemap module is almost done. There are some minor issues that should be solved (improve documentation, remove some comments, remove some unused functions). The whole functionality of the module was ported to D8 version.

We have been made some changes during the coding period than can be used only in the D8 version:

Hii !
This is my second blog post for the GSoC 2014 project, port disqus module to drupal 8. We have the module been ported to drupal 8 and yes with a few minor issues still to be fixed.
In Drupal 8, disqus comments thread can be added as a field to any drupal 8 entity (eg. users, nodes, etc). Besides disqus can also be used on disqus blocks provided the the field-data is saved on that entity. So this provides the users a bit more of a flexibility of placing the disqus thread on the page the way he wants.
