| - | ===== Application of X2Go Project for GSOC2013 ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Our application draft can be viewed/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== X2Go related code projects that could be submitted to GSOC 2013 ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Below you find a list of code projects that we (X2Go upstream) are interested in. Most of the projects we have on our todo lists, anyway, but there are always other things that sneak in as more important. Getting help by some genuine people on the code projects listed below would be really awesome. | ||
| - | |||
| - | However, if you do not sense affinity to any of the project ideas listed below, feel free to propose your own code project idea. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== X2Go Client / X2Goplugin on Chromebooks ==== | ||
| - | * As [[http:// | ||
| - | * As it is only possible to install applications on chromeOS (running on an original chromebook) via the [[https:// | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Access X2Go Server Sessions via HTML5 Client ==== | ||
| - | * It's difficult for the X2Go Project to offer clients on a number of mobile devices lacking an X.Org server and with rules that make it very difficult to submit GPL'ed software to their ecosystems. | ||
| - | * An HTML5 Client could help to build native apps and render sessions on a [[https:// | ||
| - | * In the first step, it would be possible to use existing vnc< | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Upgrade GLX extension in NX (redistributed) ==== | ||
| - | * With Ubuntu 12.10, Canonical has dropped Unity-2d support | ||
| - | * Starting with Ubuntu 12.10, Unity requires a modern Xserver with GLX v8 included | ||
| - | * The weakness of X2Go definitely is the NX Xserver used for display server session on the client | ||
| - | * This coding project would be a start to gradually update the Xserver extensions shipped with NX | ||
| - | * During this project you will get a deep insight into Xserver code. You need good C and Cplusplus skills to start this code project. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== X2Go Desktop Applet ==== | ||
| - | * Status quo: for several desktop the X2Go project offers a desktop integration (=binding) package | ||
| - | * One that can be used as a template and reference is the package: plasma-widget-x2go. It provides a Plasma widget that can dock into KDE4's panel and this widget then gives you control over your X2Go session | ||
| - | * Unfortunately, | ||
| - | * The idea: create a desktop independent applet that docks into the systems systray (or into the appindicator area). This applet then gives you control over your X2Go session from inside the X2Go session: unmount client-side folder, manage print job, suspend X2Go session, grant permission for desktop sharing, etc. | ||
| - | * Please use the tools '' | ||
| - | * Implementation shall be in C++ using Qt4. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== X2Go Session Broker WebGUI Service ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Similar to Canonical' | ||
| - | * This will need an extension of the X2Go Session Broker: | ||
| - | * Add a session profile storage (on a per-user basis) based on e.g. MongoDB | ||
| - | * Make these session profiles configurable through a nice WebGUI | ||
| - | * The current public implementation of the X2Go Session Broker is written in Python. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== JSON based protocol for communication between X2Go Client and X2Go Session Broker ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * JSON is a very appropriate data format when two applications what to exchange data objects via text base communication streams | ||
| - | * Currently, X2Go Client and X2Go Session Broker currently communicate over a plain text base communication protocol. This protocol is not very tolerant about errors | ||
| - | * To make the client< | ||
| - | * However, transparent backward compatibility must be granted at the same time: new X2Go Clients must continue to be able to speak the older broker protocol, new X2Go Session Brokers must be able to understand old X2Go Clients | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Interface between LightDM' | ||
| - | |||
| - | * The remote login feature in LightDM uses UCCS for session brokerage. The UCCS is a very public service. The main caveat is: UCCS offers to store user passwords and these passwords (at time of Ubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu 13.04) get stored in plaintext at Canonical (or at least can be easily unhashed). A site admin surely would love to have such a web portal as UCCS at hand, so that the remote login feature can be used on the local network without Canonical as the brokerage provide in the loop. | ||
| - | * This code project is to provide a drop-in replacement for the Ubuntu package '' | ||
| - | * The users shall then be able to use LightDM' | ||
| - | * Versatile skill are needed for this: C, Cplusplus, XML, JSON, Python. | ||
