[Libvncserver-common] LibVNC* Python bindings - GSoC2016

[Fotis T. <ft...@gm...>]

Hello,

My name is Fotis and I am an IT student. I am currently studying
libvncserver/client code in order to create bindings for Python (and
possibly for other scripting languages) by using SWIG. I am a developer of
an open source project named Epoptes [1], which would benefit from LibVNC*
Python bindings and thus my interest on this.

I noticed that Google announced their 2016 GSoC program and I was wondering
if you (the libvncserver/client devs) are interested on applying to it as a
mentoring organization. From your side, that would mean assigning a couple
of persons as administrators, who would be the contacts with Google,
creating an Ideas page, (hopefully) containing this and any other possible
ideas you might have for student projects, and assigning a mentor per idea
who would supervise/assist with its implementation. You can see a timeline
and a FAQ for GSoC 2016 at [2],[3].

In the case you are interested in applying as a mentoring organization, and
you find the python bindings idea interesting, I'd really love to also
apply as a student on this idea.

Best Regards,
Fotis
