As title might suggest, i have been selected for GSoC 2008. As mentor for this project has been assigned Nathan Yergler.
The developing will focus on 3 key functionalities:
- ability to search photos by tags
- filter search results by license attributes
- insert the image into the document along with attribution information
The first 2 steps were done(of course, this will not be the final version) in small demo that i attached to my application for GSoC 2008. The OpenOffice components for which the extension will be implemented are Writer, Impress and Calc.
The application will be written in Java, using NetBeans with its plugin OpenOffice NetBeans Integration.
A short introduction : Im Mihai Husleag, 24 years old, student in [Computer Science](http://www.infoiasi.ro/bin/Main/?language=en), at [Alexandru Ioan Cuza University](http://www.uaic.ro/uaic/bin/view/Main/?language=en) of [Iasi](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iasi), [Romania](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romania). My previous experience as programmer is more related to the .NET framework. Another thing about me, if in the weekends im not reachable then its a high probability that you will find me here.
If you have any suggestions about this project(new functionalities, things you don't like, etc) feel free to leave a comment.
