[Soc-coordination] SoC: Final summarys for a press release, please!

[Daniel Burrows]

On Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 12:37:59PM +0200, Erich Schubert <erich at debian.org> was heard to say:
> Hello to all mentors and students in the GSoC at Debian!
> 
> We'd like to prepare a press release about the Summer of Code results.
> This would give both your actual project and the Debian participation
> in the Summer of Code some extra exposure.
> 
> I'd ask you to write a few sentences about your project and what you
> achieved during the summer of code. Not too much - ideally we would get
> such a summary from all 11 projects - but just a few sentences for those
> who were not involved. Both the student or the mentor can do that.

  Arthur Liu worked on writing a GTK+ frontend for the aptitude package
manager.  He wrote the code for most of the core functionality that's
needed; the rest of the basic functions are being fleshed out now and
we should have a working release within the next month or two.
