Write a Native GTK+ Weibo Application
Inspired by Corebird, I'd like to write a native GTK+ Weibo application for Linux, so that I can learn how to write a GTK+ application from scratch, and every Weibo users can benefit from it.
I've started to code for a while at spare time. You can find the project here.
Plans for hackweek 17 are:
- Learn Weibo openAPI and OAuth for the account authentication
- Design the first version UI(like composing, etc)
- Able to compose a weibo and get the public timeline of your weibo
- Maybe more if I get some time left
Plans for hackweek 18:
- Reduce Memory Usage
- Implement AvatarWidget
- Rewrite class WbTweetDetailPage

Write a shell extension for GNOME by tdz
Description
I usually do kernel and systems programming. This project is about learning more about the userspace and application side. Writing an extension to gnome-shell seems like a good place to start. The GNOME shell is scriptable via JavaScript and a number of such extension is available from upstream.
On X11, there used to be a toy rsp. screensaver called XPenguins. After the desktop being idle for some time, it sent penguins falling down the screen and walking along window borders. It doesn't work any longer with Wayland-based compositing, but re-implementing it as extension for the GNOME shell might be possible. There already existed a port around a decade ago that could serve as starting point.
Goals
- Learn about how shell extensions work and how to write one
- See if XPenguins can be converted
- If successful, try to upstream the result
