Some words about my Google Summer of Code project
Since my GSoC project was approved I'll start writing about it. As the world use English universally, that's the language i'll use for my posts and, if I have time, i'll translate them into Spanish so that everyone understands.
For those who do not know what i'm talking about i'll explain this briefly: Google has a program to promote Open Source called Google Summer Of Code. You can read about it on the program FAQ. One of the mentoring organizations selected this year (like last year) to be part of GSoC is CLAM, a C++ framework that helps creating music and audio related applications. My project consists basically in incorporate a class to handle typed controls (at this time it only uses floats) to the framework's core, so in the future CLAM will be able to control parameters with virtually any data type. The idea is to use this with MIDI and OSC, as well as any future control protocol that may become available. This enhancement is necessary for the ultimate goal of my project: achieving a MIDI implementation for NetworkEditor, allowing CLAM to have a big approach towards music.
My idea is to write about my project and to show updates here. I hope this will be useful and enjoyable for you as it is for me!!
