Hello Everyone!
This is my second post related to my project, Adding UFS2 file system in Haiku
The link below provides the patches that I have worked on till now.

Work done till now
The following points briefly describes what I have done till now:
First Evaluation completed :)
First of all thanks to my mentor to pass the first evaluation of the GSoC2020.
Before discussing the current workflow, here is the picture of the icons work, I forgot to put it in the previous post!
I have tested the DPI option also with the six-button mouse and the with button mouse in haiku. The DPI is working well.
Now, I am working on the mouse configurations for different mouses. This work takes a lot of time as compare to the other tasks because it needs a complete understanding of how the input_server works. While working on this issue I learn new things which are good!
Welcome to the May-June 2020 activity report!
Are we released yet?
Yes! You probably already know, the Beta 2 version has shipped and is available for download.
There was a lot of work done towards the release, and then some of us decided to take a break
from Haiku for a few weeks to compensate for it.
Google Summer of Code
The Google Summer of Code is already reaching it’s mid-point with the end of
the first month of coding period. Patches from our 4 students are getting merged
as they go. You can follow their progress on their respective blogs.
Hello there!
It’s been exactly a month since my last post. Sorry for not posting much!
Work done so far:
You can check for the patches here: https://review.haiku-os.org/q/hashtag:gsoc2020+owner:shubhambhagat111%2540yahoo.com
But in short this is what is done,
- Made some small change in the File System interface docs to make the working of readdir a little more understandable.
- Inodes can now be read from disk, it was interesting to see how inode was located on the disk itself though. Had to try a few times until I got it right.
- Implemented read_stat and get_vnode hook. It’s not really anything complex I think. I took inspiration of implementation from other FileSystems we have and I guess by reading the docs.
- Short Directories can now be read. This means when the entries inside a directory are less, all the entry metadata can be stored inside the inode itself. Getting this to work was exciting!
- Block Directories can now be read. Ofcourse the number of entries might increase and we might want to do better than short directories. Hence, a directory block (4KB in my test), is used to store all metadata of entries. I tried and I could have around 100ish directory entries inside a block directory.
I feel initially quite some time was spent on structuring things a little bit. To understand how to make something work.
It’s pretty long overdue for the post, but here I am.
Introduction:
I’m Leorize, a past GCI participant and a former active member of HaikuPorts.
If you hang around the #haiku IRC channel, chances are that you might know me
:)
I started contributing to Haiku around 2017, when I joined GCI. Since then,
I’ve authored many bug fixes and ports, including some notable ports like
libuv, mandoc, pkgconf, and pyqt.
This blog will contain all the information about what I have done in the community bonding period. It’s a bit late to post a blog because I have my exams from 29 May 2020 - 3 June 2020.
My first task was to add the icons to the device list which was completed from my side and now working on its backlogs.
Please have a review
For completing this task first I understood the code of the icon that was used in the media preference. Then, by following the coding criteria I added the space for the icons on the left side of the items. But, while adding the icons to it. The icons were not present then, PulkoMandy told me the icons that were used in the media have fixed size. But here, the icons have a variable size. To get the icons in the list I have to use BIconUtils. After following the above idea I completed my task. :)
Sorry for the late post, but here we go!
Introduction:
I am Shubham Bhagat, a sophomore, currently majoring in Computer Science Engineering from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Sricity, India.
I came across Haiku, last November (2019), while I was looking for an operating system I could contribute to. My interest to contribute came from a mini college course. I knew Haiku was also part of GSoC for many years now, so getting the chance to work as an intern and learn here was a no brainer. So THANK YOU for selecting me as a mentee!
Introduction:
I am Preetpal Kaur B.Tech.(3rd year), Computer Science and Engineering(CSE) student of Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, India. Last year I worked on an Input Preferences project in Haiku as an Outreachy intern 2019, which encapsulates all the preferences in a single dialog window. Now, my aim is to explore this project more by adding the new preferences for the devices and enhance their functionalities.
About my project:
Previously, the input preferences contained the UI and the functionalities of mouse, keyboard, keymap and touchpad. Now, to enhance it more, I decided to add the more GUI and functionalities of the wacom tablet and joystick. Also it needs to add more buttons for mouse for powerful users. In haiku, each application has a logo for each. So, it should also be the same for input preferences.
Hello everyone!
I am one of the selected students for this year Google Summer of Code(GSoC). This is my first blog on Haiku website and in this post I will introduce myself and share details about my project.
Introduction
My name is Suhel Mehta and my name on IRC channel is suhel. I am studying Computer Science and Engineering(CSE) at GNDEC(Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College) in Punjab, India. I am also a part of Development team of college that do technical work. In order to complete the task given by them I use Linux for most of the time but I am using Haiku on my virtual machine and learing about it. I have applied for GSoC this year in Haiku and got selected :-)
Welcome to the April 2020 activity report!
Are we released yet?
The big news first: a timeline has been set for Beta 2! If all goes well, it will
be released by the end of May. Of course, this means everyone has been scrambling
for last minute changes this month instead of stabilizing everything. We are now
in “soft freeze”, and the branch will be created on Friday.
Now is a good time to test nightly builds on all your machines, help with the
translations, and make that bugreport you’ve been postponing for months.
