As mentioned in our previous article on the Summer of Code, we're hoping to publish an interview with each of our SoC students for this year. This is the first in the series, with Mathieu Prevel, who will be undertaking the revisions control project.
1. Please tell us a little about yourself: your name, where you come from, what you study and where you attend university. Perhaps you run a website or have an interesting hobby?
My name is Mathieu. I am 21 student and I live in South of France in a little (very small) town "La Canourgue". I am studying water management and in the future I would like to create softwares about water management, water supply, or any linked to water treatments. My website is a game in PHP http://www.NeorgGenesyS.fr. I am interested in Linux, PHP, C, (x)HTML, CSS, JavaScript and all kinds to program. I like flyfishing and sports.

My name is Carlos Mauro Cárdenas Fernández. My from is Perú and i live in Lima. I'm studing Engineering Systems in the National University of Engineering (www.uni.edu.pe). I am studying the tenth cycle. I'm course the tenth cycle. I am doing my thesis topic regarding the usability of software.
I am a member of the association of Peruvian Free Software APESOL. I participated also as president of the organization of the Festival of Latin American Free Software Installation in 2006. I also like make hack as issues at a time when I did something VoIP, streaming, CdLive, and others.
I always liked the theme of web development as well as aesthetics. So usability is a subject that interested me.
I also like the systems engineering, important to understand the complexity of life. I think many in this community are countrymen of Ludwig Von Bertanfly :D.
My Blog is: http://unimauro.blogspot.com
My Hobby: read a lot of... running in the morning
Lately I like to cook :$

As mentioned in our previous article on the Summer of Code, we're hoping to publish an interview with each of our SoC students for this year. This is the second in the series, with John Pritchard, who will be undertaking the categories project.

My name is John Pritchard and I'm currently in my second year of a Maths and Computer Science BSc at Bristol University in the UK. I'm originally from Newport in South Wales (only about 30 mins away from my university but far enough from home so that my parents don't constantly visit me :P). At the moment, the only website I run is the Bristol Real Ale Society website (http://www.bristolrealale.co.uk/) but the society is suffering a bit at the moment because a lot of people only signed up for the cheap booze rather than for social events (though I can't say I blame them lol).

My name’s Daniel Byrd, I’m currently approaching the end of my second year of a computer science degree at Oxford University England. Ironically, my mentor is doing the same but at Cambridge (Simon Birtwistle [HammerHead]), so I think that settles once and for all any rivalry the universities have ever had in the past.

One last push to PostNuke .8
The development team have scheduled one more bug fix weekend to eliminate the final bugs in the bug tracker before we release .8 final. The date is this weekend - the 29th and 30th of March. A Skype chat will be created, and developers and testers alike are invited and encouraged to participate in the weekend.
Bug fix weekends create a collaborative environment in which both those who can code, and those who are simply users of PostNuke work together to find, fix and test for bugs. The last weekends have fixed over a hundred bugs, both large and small between them. A similar effort this week will lead to the final release of PostNuke .8.
So, we invite you to join us. Further articles detailing precisely how to take part will be published over the weekend, however in the meantime please consider joining the international PostNuke chat - contact Steffen via private message for further details
The PostNuke Steering Committee is pleased to announce the project has been accepted into the Google Summer of Code (SoC) this year. This represents a significant step forward for the project in an exciting year at PostNuke.We intend to use the SoC to push the project's development forward following the final release of .8 and the unveiling of our new identity. There are a number of proposed projects on our ideas page that we hope will interest and excite students. This is an excellent opportunity for the team to get some of the large projects we have planned for future versions implemented quickly.
This is the first development update issue in 2008, after almost a year absence. In this update, I will show what has been going on in the development of PostNuke since the RC3 release here, and plan to pick up the updates again. Happy reading!
In this issue:
The PostNuke team is pleased to announce the release of RC3, following an extended period of bug fixing on RC2, released late last year. This release includes well over 100 bug fixes over RC2, which was tested extensively by the community. The development team feels that, barring any unforseen issues this release will be the last before 0.8 final.
As this is the final RC before 0.8 is released, we request that as many people as possible test this build for bugs. However, do not use this release on a live website as it is not production ready. RC builds are unsupported in a live environment.
It took us a little longer than intended after the bug-fixing weekend to hunt down the strange date issue during some upgrades from 764.
