Lingua Libre/SignIt/2024/Phase 1

Next phase

Early 2024 proposals on which the project can move forward over the next 6~12 months:

1. content creation with the active partner, BD (IRIS):
   1. via identification and provision of a professional local video recording studio (HL,AB -> UT3? INF7?)
   2. via the recording of “LSF in library” (BD)
   3. via the recording of the vocabulary of her classes (BD)
2. gentle search for funding (HL, BD, AB) to port the extension to the Google Chrome Store and mobile extension
3. modest communication actions, based on what already exists: flyer, demonstration, presentations (HL)

Actionnables: the actionnables that we can advance are marked with our initials BD, AB, HL.

Google Summer of Code 2024

See GSoC24 > Lingualibre & GSoC24 > SignIt.

Tech evolution of Lingualibre projects... Hi team, there's movement on this front, here's a quick update.

The need for developments for Lingualibre is constant, as highlighted by:

• The repair of Lingualibre SignIt (2022, Yug)
• The repair of Lingualibre Video recording (2023, 0x010C + Yug)
• The creation of Lingualibre v3.0 (Django) (2023 Poslovitch)

Since 2022, Poslovitch and I have been monitoring the Google Summer of Code: an annual funding for young developers contributing for 5 to 12 weeks on open-source projects, funded by Google.

On my personal initiative, I submitted Lingualibre SignIt to the Google Summer of Code (GSoC24).
In coordination with Florian, I submitted Lingualibre v.3 to the Google Summer of Code (GSoC24).

Over 2 weeks, we welcomed and informed about 15 interested individuals, supported about 10 candidates, reviewed about 8 CVs, and selected 2 student developers. So, hopefully (🤞🏽), we'll have two junior developers this summer to boost two aspects of Lingualibre.
